My buddy Dale says that because there is no driver… we need to pan through the empty cab of the autonomous cybertruck (past the broken drivers window from that demo fail) to musk texting in the backseat. 🤣

Thought about it a bit more: the cybertruck should say “autonomous prototype“ on it. Musk shouldn’t actually be driving it… he should be in the back seat as an occupant… with nobody driving it. It is self driving. He should never move a muscle… he should simply sit motionless eyes glued to...

The time machine is actually in my other earlier (or was it…) post on my bubble machine hooked to fake exhaust pipe for “rolling Bubbles”. See https://www.f150lightningforum.com/forum/threads/rolling-bubbles-not-rolling-coal-super-bowl-ad.13003/

Here’s the link to the trolley bell. No association… but I have driven one of their converted electric vw’ busses! Trolley bell link

Just added the video. 😃

And yes… I did just notice my black tape is unraveling… gonna go get the shrink tube now. Lol.

Local electronics supply store… my Bad. Not a radio shack. It used to be a radio shack…. Sigh.

I had a few times where folks walking didn’t hear me behind them… and it felt rude to honk or yell… so I bought an electric trolley bell from EVWest.com and mounted it under the truck behind the drivers front tire in that recessed area behind the running board. I went to radio shack and bought...

it started with me thinking about making a bubble machine for my lightning…. First: I would buy one of those party bubble machines… and then head to the auto parts store for one of the accessory Texas size diesel exhaust extentions. Next: I’d mount same together under truck… with remote...

Well… got the truck today. 15 minutes after getting my new phone.

Got the Ford Pass activation denial myself last night 9/15 At 5:30… so somebody drove my truck somewhere. Hoping it’s from Richmond parking lot to the transport truck.. and not from the ramp onto the train!

My dealer’s update from Ford last Friday says my truck is due oct 7th. My own email from Ford last Friday updated my delivery due date to sept 14th-20th.… 🧐 Hmmmm. (my orig delivery window was sept 9th-14th)

Looks like @ExCivilian is correct…the rail strike will only affect cars not yet unloaded off the trains. The railroad will still allow transporters to pick up cars sitting in the rail yard parking lots like Richmond in California (where my truck is sitting I presume). See this other thread...

Thanks @TaxmanHog ! You’ve got my shipped date wrong though… I was notified the truck shipped on 8-29. I was initially given an arrival estimate of 9/9 to 9/14…. But that was updated a day or two ago to 9/14 to 9/20. I should also note that my truck was ordered with a plastic bedliner. I’ve...

My estimated delivery was also upped from 9/8-9/14 to 9/14-9/20. I presume my truck is one of the California deliveries sitting in the giant parking lot in Richmond CA Hoping it hits the highway to my dealer before the RR strike happens.

EV west sells an electrically activated “trolley bell” so you don’t have to honk the horn at folks. Just hit the trolley bell button and it is more akin to a bike bell so it doesn’t scare people...

I stopped in at my dealer, Perry Ford in San Luis Obispo, CA, because I saw the lightning mannequin had finally showed up and was parked out front. I was crawling all over it when the sales manager Jim walked up and said… you got one on order so you better go see if you like it! He tossed me...

Back in the 1990’s, because of my business and our relationship with VW, I was loaned the first New Beetle to be driven on the street. this was approx 6 months before the first “new Beetle“ hit the street. I left the warehouse with the car and drove onto the street and immediately was like a...

what a mess. Ive spent several hours writing emails and I’ve so far spent probably 4 hours on the phone or on hold with five different Sunrun employees, I’ve been shifted from one employee… to the next… and to the next again. I’m on my fifth now. I had the tech out to my site to survey...
