  1. Pics of Lightning Trucks Doing Truck Things. Post Yours! 📸

    Not my truck…but I caught this Flash going down the expressway the other morning. I can only imagine what this does to your range. I only got the one shot as I didn’t want to end up causing an accident. Glad to see people putting their trucks to work.
  2. Maryland Compass Rear View Mirror w/ Adapter - $50 Shipped

    Is the mirror still available?
  3. Your Username - why & what does it mean?

    When the second gen was stock, it was probably a toss up. But I added a 6# boost pulley, chipped the computer, and added a shift kit. I pulled 12.7 in the quarter mile in muggy south Florida. I doubt the current lightning is that fast. When stock, the second gen was 13.7. But here’s the thing...
  4. Your Username - why & what does it mean?

    I owned a red 2002 SVT Lightning. It was an absolute beast. I loved the intoxicating whine from the supercharger and the fact it would spin the tires even rolling at 25 mph. Anyways, life happens and I sold it a long time ago and it still bums me out that I don’t have it anymore. I was...
  5. State of Charge Vid: Tesla Supercharger (NACS) Extension Cable

    I’ve been able to get into the 160’s with my standard range during the initial 5-10 minutes before it starts to taper off.
  6. State of Charge Vid: Tesla Supercharger (NACS) Extension Cable

    Bummer about the 350 amps. That’s going to derate the lightning charge. It might pull 130kw on this cable.
  7. Chalky Vinyl Floors

    Didn’t treat the floors or the backing of the mats. I have had vinyl floors in other trucks with no problems.
  8. Chalky Vinyl Floors

    The vinyl floors in my Pro have a chalky white appearance. I don’t normally notice them because I have Truxedo floor mats. But I was greeted with this surprise when pulling them out to clean. Anyone else having this problem and have a possible solution?
  9. Bad towing experience and other issues

    This feels like a troll’s post.
  10. Using portable generator to charge vehicle

    I remember watching a youtube video of someone charging their Tesla off of a portable generator. His portable charger wouldn’t charge either. I think it had something to do with the floating neutral of the generator. He had a plug with the wires connected that he used in one of the outlets of...
  11. Is Anybody Happy With Their Lightning?

    I have 11,000 miles in about 14 months of ownership on my SR Pro. I live in sunny south Florida with a daily commute of less than 50 miles. I’ve take it on a few road trips to Orlando, about 250 miles one way. The turnpike has rest stops every 40 miles or so with chargers at almost all stops...
  12. Charging 2023 XLT SR

    On a DC charger, my Pro SR tops out at 161 kw. I’ve seen those numbers on FPL and EA chargers. Because the battery pack is below 400volts, you need a charger with a higher amp output to compensate for the low voltage. On the 150 kw chargers, I top out around 100 kw. But on the 350 kw chargers, I...
  13. Power-Up OTA 6.8.0 - Smart Changes: Center Screen

    Congrats!!!! After 14 months, I got it as well. This morning as I pulled into work I noticed it. At first, I was worried my truck was broken before I realized it was my SOC.
  14. Why does unplugging a charger turn your AC off?

    That is one of the unfortunate quirks with the software. If the truck is on from the key it will turn off when you unplug. But if the climate is on through the app it will continue to run when unplugged. To complicate matters the inverse is true when opening the frunk. If the climate is on...
  15. FordPass Update 5.0.0 -- Complete Redesign [5.0.3] bug-fix

    Oddly, I got the update a few weeks ago. Although not perfect, it’s been a much better experience in my use. It’s more responsive and simplified. Unfortunately, I still have to have my phone on me to use my Apple Watch. I have a data plan on my watch and was hoping that it could run...
  16. Tesla fires whole Supercharger team [Update: Musk says supercharger growth will continue]

  17. Thank You Everyone!

    Congrats on your new truck. I got a Truxedo pro x15 and a Bedrug. I messaged RealTruck directly for the Truxedo and they gave me a discount. They were great and would order through them again. I cashed in my points from buying the truck and ordered the Bedrug from Ford. It covered half the...
