  1. Ford’s F-150 Lightning is falling behind Tesla’s Cybertruck in deepening EV crisis

    FWIW, we adore our Mache after 1 yr. The Lightning is awesome too
  2. Coming from a Model Y, talk me in/out of a Lightning

    We got out of our S & into a Mache and couldn't be happier. It's a better form factor for our rural site. We also far prefer BlueCruise CarPlay to the Tesla equivalent. Night & day improvement in self driving and infotainment. Like you we have a Lighting which is by far the best of the scads...
  3. Ford’s F-150 Lightning is falling behind Tesla’s Cybertruck in deepening EV crisis

    I learn from others' opinions . I thought the article was flimsy and the headline was misleading, but I also learned about Ford's EREV ambition. Now I have something to research. I adore my Lightning. It brings a smile to my face on every drive after 3 yrs.
  4. Rear motor replacement pic

    I'm gobsmacked! I would have bet that a 1 pedal drive fault was a software issue whose solution could have involved OTA resets. I'm at a loss to try to figure out how a mechanical issue with the motor would trigger that problem.
  5. Garage too small. Anyone park outside? In the snow?

    My almost 3yr old Lightning has never been in a garage. It's snowing now. No issues, but we don't have huge accumulation.
  6. Is Anybody Happy With Their Lightning?

    That was my experience. I hadn't been to the dealership for 30 years, but my Lightning lust drew me there. I'd only experienced sleaze & upsell b4. The exact truck i had submitted a build for online (Max Tow, Extended range) was sitting on the showroom floor (even the color was my build)...
  7. Is Anybody Happy With Their Lightning?

    I've spent decades dissing dealerships. My local one has totally reformed that view. I'm on a fist name basis with a lot of people there. They have been very fair. The Service Dept is outstanding. Love bein' a Fordie.
  8. Is Anybody Happy With Their Lightning?

    So glad to be out of our Model 3. Now have a Mache to go with the Lightning.
  9. Is Anybody Happy With Their Lightning?

    We love our Lightning so much that we sold our Tesla and bought a Mache. So glad to be done with that car.
  10. Most USA dealers don't like selling EVs

    I have been unimpressed by the incentives the mothership provides to get techs EV certified. They don't get that much more pay. Also, the dealership tech is legacy at least at my dealer where download speeds (& huge part of most EV service) take forever. There's also a cultural issue. The...
  11. Most USA dealers don't like selling EVs

    Many Ford truck buyers (especially for F250 & above) are used to submitting builds and waiting at least a couple of months. Spending $70K+ makes many quite picky about configurations.
  12. Will a Lightning work for me (towing + frequent offroad use)?

    The Lightning is awesome in snot -- best of the many 4WDs I've owned over the years. The torque is ungodly, particularly in Sport Mode which I use to max out regen braking. It also tows great -- for short distances. To start with, it's only a 150. I still keep a 5.7ltr ICE for long (&...
  13. Tesla is disrespecting Ford owners

    So true. That was a huge factor behind our sale of our Model 3. We used the proceeds to get a MachE to go with our Lightning.
  14. Can't buy a vehicle if it is going to strand me

    I absolutely adore my Lightning. I could have sold it immediately and made $10K+. So glad I didn't.. As you know prices for used Lightnings have fallen a great deal. As an investment, I'm probably under water, but I have no plans to sell. That may change a year or so after next gen versions...
  15. Received A2Z EV (NACS to CCS) adapter today

    Congratulations. Thanks for posting. Mine is supposed to arrive next week. I spoke to the company and was satisfied that it i is in regular contact with Ford. Integration with the Pass app will happen once the Ford/Tesla software is debugged. It is supposed to be seamless -- I bet that is...
  16. Enphase IQ 80 EV Charger

    This is a 64 amp charger. Nothing wrong with that, but if you got Ford'sCharge Station Pro, it will deliver more charge if you install it. I get over 35mi/hr on mine -- its on a 100Ah circuit.
  17. While we wait for Ford's OTAs, here's what Tesla dropped today

    Agreed. I have never owned a Ford pre-Lightning I am so impressed with its type of support and interest in feedback. Our Tesla is the opposite. It's great in many respects, but couldn't care less about me. Trying to interact with TSLA outside its very locked-in app is a fools errand.
