Reduced power available. 88% is still plenty of power for almost anything except a drag race. So with a low state of charge there is less power available. I've only seen that less than 100% when I was down to 20% state of charge. I usually run 40% to 90% so don't see any reduced power.
The rep claimed I would get an email. But nothing yet although the phone app showed my proper email and mailing address. I don't really travel much with this vehicle- I'll just keep relying on the longer range of my Ioniq 6.
The website is just having big problems- I entered a chat with a Ford person and got it to work from the Ford Pass App on my phone. Terri said that they were aware of the website issues. . .
Silver may not qualify as a "color" to you but it is really perfect for me living at the beach. Much cooler than the dark trucks. This is critical for the matching cap- a dark blue cap would roast the contents of my bed. Third silver F150 for me so I'm glad they make what you consider-...
One pedal is not as aggressive in my Lightning compared to our Ioniq 5 or the MachE. 100% one pedal for me- just use the brake pedal for emergency stops like when a deer runs across the road.
My lifetime average is 2.5 miles per kWh. Often see 220 miles estimated at 90% charge for my SR truck. I don't take many trips but stopping for a 45 minute lunch break is no big deal when I go on a 250 mile trip. So easy to have lunch, watch the Ford Pass App, then get back to the truck...
I had an existing 30 amp 240V outlet in my garage (NEMA14-30) so use the GrizzlE charger at 24 amps and my truck is always fully charged by the next morning. So hard to justify the use of an 80 amp charger when it would not save me any time.
You don't mention the trillions each year in OIL incentives! Huge tax write-offs and subsidies still going on today as the world chokes to death on the pollution from the ICE vehicles.
Globally, fossil fuel subsidies were $7 trillion in 2022 or 7.1 percent of GDP. Explicit subsidies...
Typical WSJ article- increase our huge profits or we won't supply minerals! Short sighted rags like the WSJ contribute to the climate catastrophe every day. They are not worth the bits spent on publishing that paper.
That is highway robbery! My monthly customer charge is $4.96. Since I supply excess solar to the grid I figure my cost at 5.2 cents per kWh. That is what I got paid for my excess generation of 4,000 kWh last year. The year before it was 4.2 cents per kWh. So while I really don't pay...
So far no digging! My Lightning goes better on the beach than my previous 2016 F150. Just so much power and I don't bother with "Off Road" or anything- just drive on the beach after airing down to 20 or 22. We have some really soft sand where some people don't air down and churn it up- plus...
2022 XLT SR and my driving is mostly 50mph and 30 mph roads so lifetime average is 2.5 miles/kWh. And that includes a couple of dozen beach drives at 0.8 miles/kWh- airing down and the soft sand really limits the range!
I had a Chevy Volt with a similar setup for 10 years. The engine would run in the cold weather but very little otherwise. We had the oil changed more for time in the car vs. mileage because 90% of our 100,000 miles were on electric. The Volt did require premium gas.
I have used the SplitVolt for nearly two years and it has worked just fine. I have the version with the NEMA 10-30 plug and then have a NEMA 14-30 to NEMA 10-30 adapter for newer dryer sockets. I always check the temperature of the cable at new charging locations but so far it has worked...
All of the Tesla vehicles get much better range with 18" wheels. Same for the MachE and Hyundai Ioniq 5. The bigger wheels are really a waste- just because they are "fashionable" or for racing type drivers. 18" tires air down much better- my XLT is my sixth Ford truck and the best one for...
