  1. When does the range prediction get more "accurate"?

    First off our trucks don't have as accurate readings as compared toTesla which incorporates better software engineering, therefore it's important to remember that most folks refer to it as the GOM (Guess O Meter). My driving experience so far for the past 5K miles has been anywhere from 1.2 KW...
  2. Tools that require higher peak power out put then the onboard power can provide.

    FYI - After using the onboard power for several motorized tools and powering on the lights of a 15k Sq ft warehouse. I was confident that when one of our subs need a tool out of our normal inventory, the truck could power it. Turns out the peak starting amps drew to much and tripped the...
  3. Snow tire chains - Anyone used or purchased?

    Bought a pair of Z cables and they were easier to install rather than standard chains used them on black ice around Lake Arrowhead area they work and the truck does well, just mind your charge levels in freezing temps.
  4. Does the lightning lock the charge cord?

    Unfortunately on several occasions of driving the truck, when I use public L2 chargers I have been unplugged. So my remedy is to place a used Covid Mask around the handle and the charging door. It's worked for the last few weeks and I haven't had to respond to a text letting me know I've been...
  5. Blue Oval Charging Network is Non-existent

    Here in CA Tesla keeps building large charging lots with dozens of fast chargers along major routes when they open these sites to non Tesla vehicles this will help in the long range trip category. Unfortunately most of us have issues with local areas and this is where the car companies have...
  6. Running house AC from truck during Peak hours

    If you have a Southern Cal residence built post-1980 you might have the following situation: If you have central A/C the compressors usually has a 40amp min breaker plus the air handlers are usually on another breaker. So this is the first situation to overcome with only a 30A in the truck bed...
  7. Upgrade my electrical panel or add a sub panel?

    You might be right looking from my cell phone and not a computer screen, but in my line of work you see a lot of noncompliant issues.
  8. Upgrade my electrical panel or add a sub panel?

    Strongly recommend you consider a new install and not be penny-wise and pound-foolish. You have might have an issue with the 50 and 40 amp breakers and you definitely have an issue (illegal power cord inside a conduit). A 200 amp service is always best especially if your running a F150L ER...
  9. ✅ 10/24 Lightning Build Week Group (MY2023)

    My sales manager knew exactly who Granger was and gave me a price match to keep me happy. He must have read the Sales Playbook that was issued regarding the dealer 10% of MSRP on F150L sales. High survey scores = $$$$$ in dealer "Spifs"

    ESP = Extended Service Plan aka Premium Care EV. Stickers are a sticker you attach to your trailer to help the rear camera see when you use the trailer tech software. I also just noticed I might be missing the jack kit for the spare tire its usually under the rear seat, but I don't see it.

    Picked up the Truck last night, dealer matched Granger ESP price but did not get the following at delivery: a Hardcopy of owner's manual, tow/tech package sticker, 30amp mobile power cord (got an email saying it was part of the order) but I didn't order it, so it would have been a bonus anyway...

  14. Has anyone used the "Ford Options" Ownership/Lease program for the F150L yet?

    Our truck is arriving shortly, and Ford has an Ownership/Lease program for the F150L and MME called "Ford Option", I understand the varietals on interest rates and costs, and I know I will need to crunch my own numbers, but since the F150L is a new production model, I am curious as to what...

    If you ever tow a trailer to comvict lake let me know how it goes, My buddy tows a 35 footer their at every spring, he uses a f250 though.
  18. Has anyone road tripped in an SR yet?

    Thanks for the info, Mammoth just opened today with man made snow, we are planning Incline village in December. We will take the long route instead of 395 since charging above June can be an issue with broken charge points. The 99 has more options and is flatter.
