Ok - back with an update. We had power restored at 2:30 pm today - so, about 31 hours without power.
The truck started providing power at 98% SoC - when I took the last extension cord off, it had 85%. 31 hours for 13%? I will take that any day.
To recap, I powered my 28 cu. ft. fridge, my...
I live in the country, so I just routed it under a storm door and locked that. Now that the storm is over, my next plan is to install a transfer switch - IMO they should be standard on all Florida homes.
(My home was built in 1938, so I can understand why one isn’t installed!)
We’re ~20 miles west of you. Same deal here - no ETA yet on restoration of power and our yard looks like it has more branches and leaves than grass. Two trees down.
Stay safe - you will love the Lightning when you get it. I still haven’t seen one in the wild.
Update - still no power. Truck has lost 15% of charge in the past 24 hours. My neighbors keep pouring gas into their generators - I’m just cruising along.
100% would recommend
Figured I would start a thread here on things I'm considering and/or will learn with the approach of Hurricane Ian this week. Feel free to add any tips/tricks/ideas to this thread so that someone can get the most out of their Lightning when a natural disaster hits.
First of all, I do not have...
I received my Ford Charge Station Pro this past week, but don't have a use for it at my home. Selling it for $900 + shipping if located out of the Central Florida area.
I had Granger’s email open and negotiated based on that price. Ended up paying $100 more than their price.

Sorry - yes, they tried to add $30k ADM after “completing my purchase” via Ford.com online. Said I “offered” to pay $30k more than the MSRP a on the order form.
That’s where I needed to “hold the line” and shove it back in their face that I had completed my purchase at $81,304.
Oh, and I was ready to cost them way more than the $30k they were trying to screw me over for. I would have picketed, called the TV station, all of it. They would have hated life.
Yes, I did. Took four hours at the dealership with the GM and Sales Manager. I showed they had ample opportunity to add ADM - there’s a freaking line item in the purchase summary, for Pete’s sake - and that I “completed my purchase” online.
I had to hold the line - and they kept reducing the...
Here in Florida that would be some random hill in the Panhandle (345 feet above sea level)!
