Hopefully this will also be a resolution to Bluetooth connection issues with the Ford Home Integration System. i’ve had mine for over a year and can’t get it to work reliably

We have solar with PoweWall and the Ford/SunRun home integration system. The Tesla PowerWall system has a backup panel with limited circuits. Because we have an older heat pump it won’t power that on. I understand you can now get soft start heat pumps that could work at startup. The Tesla system...

I have owned multiple other EVs as well and the Lightning is an awesome truck from Ford. Sure, there will always be gripes about the GOM and interface but we have 29,000 miles on ours with it fully loaded with an OVRLND pop up camper bolted to the back and are still getting 2.0 miles per kWH...

We have had real troubles with this. We had one RV place order a wiring harness adapter that wouldn’t work, had another install a harness adapter that worked for class months but then threw a fault and screen warning and had to be removed. We have been told that the Lightning’s trailer wiring...

I have the Ford/Sunrun system and have been working with Ford support for months trying to get the system working reliably without success. The latest is that they say they have an engineer with a solution soon but I’ve invested thousands in the system and can’t get it operational.

I have a Lariat ER nd am averaging 2.0 miles peer kWH over 27,000+ miles in the Pacific NW. However, I have a pop up camper on the bed and run nearly at full bed capacity for the life of the truck.. As others have said, speed and temperature do matter but also, pre-conditioning in the cold...

Some state and local governments are requiring new multifamily to be wired for charging. And, in Washington State there are grants and incentives available for installing multi-family charging. Also, Seattle City Light is piloting curbside utility pole chargers at lower costs than fast charging...

We’ve done Florence, Oregon to San Diego and found it very doable. We used aA Better Route Planner and had overnight stops with some J1772 overnight. We found much better than predicted range at the slow speeds and ups and downs of the coastal roads. We have a Lariat ER with a pop up camper on...

My charge port is being replaced under warranty due to the door being extremely difficult to open or clpse. I am waiting for a mid-January dealer appointment now where parts were ordered.

It’s an OVRLND brand popup camper. The shell bolts to the bed and weighs less than 350 pounds. We have a fairing in front of it to reduce drag. It has cabinets for storage, a sink and faucet, heaters and goal zero batteries. The bed slides out to be about a queen size and we got one with extra...

We have put 26000 miles on our Extended Range Lariat with a camper on the back. We are averaging 2.0 miles per kWH lifetime with many long trips. Spped makes a big difference as does a headwind and we have seen as low as 1.5 miles per kWH with below freezing, a 30 mph headwind and interstate...

I am with one of my dealer’s mobile tech teams right now getting my taillight bar replaced. The dealer’s service department says they only do the dash mat replacement if there is a visible problem with it and that they don’t do the battery module software update unless an error code is thrown...

This is our setup - OVRLND brand pop up camper with Colorado fairing.

We just returned from a 3700 mile trip with our Lightning equipped with an OVRLND pop up camper and Colorado Fairing. We averaged 1.7 miles per kWH for the entire trip. We had a lot of cold temperatures and strong headwinds. When going 65 mph into strong headwinds at cold temps we saw as low as...

We have a Lariat ER with an OVRLND popup camper bolted to the bed rails. We have about 7500 of our 11000 miles with the camper on. We also installed a Colorado Fairings air dam on it. We are at 2.0 miles per kwH after 11000 miles. The OVRLND only weighs a little over 350 pounds and with the two...
