very cool setup with these new universal wall connectors. the last one on the line can be a gen 3 wall connector..

I thought they were supposed to have their own home runs with their own breakers. Don’t they just communicate over WiFi to evenly split the load preventing an overload of the panel main breaker? Or is daisy chaining a new feature with the universal charger? I haven’t seen these yet.

https://www.motortrend.com/news/national-electric-code-revision-threatens-ev-charging/ In 2020, the national code started requiring GFCI protection on 240-volt plug receptacles. This now moves GFCI breakers to hard wire chargers resulting in better chance of nuisance trips.

Sorry guys, I was mistaken when it comes to EV charging section 86 of the Canadian Electrical Code. GFCI protection is ONLY required when installed outdoors. I guess indoor GFCI protection is America only. My bad!

Maybe you got lucky with the inspector? It's clearly stated in the NEC. section 625.54 GFCI protection for all single-phase EV charging outlets that are 150 volts to ground or less and 50 amperes or less GFCI protection for all EV charging outlets, regardless of location

That must be it. Yet another cut for cost savings. I can’t see 3 battery options when 2 are so similar.

Interesting. I wonder why there’s 3 battery options now? The top 2 are so close in size and price…

fleet only but does anyone know the extended range upgrade cost to a pro? Does the battery upgrade include any other options?

Not discounting your personal experience. Maybe your car had some unknown issue with updating? I don’t think that’s typical for the average Tesla. I like the idea of frequent updates even if most of them are behind the scenes or silly like Santa mode. It shows they’re making an effort to make...

Many lightning users either came from Tesla or still own one. Nobody is hurt. We’re just in disbelief.

Are you implying fords OTA updates are superior to Tesla? ?

is that typical of most users or just your car?

122kwh should be the standard pack size with 150+ as the extended option. This is weak Ford!

Looks like the lower trim wheels are now all black.

We love the truck but want Tesla-like software and app. Please fix.

not sure what the requirements are in the US but in Canada the installation will always be cheaper with a hardwired charger. Mainly because of the GFCI breaker requirement for the plug which can reach above $300cad. *edit - GFCI breakers only required with outdoor installations in Canada. CEC...

So can we expect to see the new Gen2 lightning at the Detroit Auto show next year 2026?

in Canada go hardwired. you'll pay a bit more for a hardwired charger but... - slightly faster charging 48amps vs 40amps - install cost will be cheaper. 50amp plugs need a neutral (3 wire), hardwired only requires 2. - 50 amp outlets require GFCI breakers by code which are expensive and can...

For some reason delayed it until 2027… Why not delay gen 2 to 2028 and give the 2025 truck a slight visual refresh and NACS port with faster charging? Don’t even need a larger battery if the charging was quicker!

that looks amazing. what an improvement to the look. Ford are you listening? ahem lightning tremor...
