I agree. When I had the battery module problem last year they gave me a new F150 Ecoboost as a loaner. Man I hated that thing. I thought something was wrong with it but it was just me being used to driving EVs for the previous year. Recently bought a '16 Grand Cherokee Ecodiesel to tow our...
When I had my battery module problem shortly after purchase @Ford reached out to me in my thread asking me to send him a PM. I sent him a PM and all he did was direct me to my dealer and provided zero information about my problem. He wouldn't answer any of my questions. I'm 99.9% sure the...
From Kansas City to Red Lodge, Montana. Across I-90 in the Summer and I-70 in the winter. South Dakota and Wyoming are charging desserts. Having to charge to 95 or 100 percent takes forever.
I am happy with the bulk charging power of our Lariat ER. What I'm not happy with is how it plummets at 80% SOC. Our Ionic 5 stills charges at around 111kw after reaching 80% SOC. I think Hyundai uses a pulsing charge during the absorption phase. I wish Ford would do something similar...
I used to be a big battery Nazi. Would put timers on vacuum, mower/blower batteries, Sonos speakers, etc. so they wouldn't charge to 100%. After a couple years of getting mediocre run times I decided to charge to 100% on these batteries and it makes a huge difference in run time.
I still...
Rivian has DCFCs in Hays, KS. A couple months ago I tried to charge at one with no success. It's located very close to the Superchargers and EA is right there as well at the Wally World. So when all of this opens up there will be close to 20 DCFCs in Hays, KS and no chargers in a lot of areas...
I want BC 1.4 and Pro Power without having truck on. Dog mode would be nice but my workaround for that is to use the sketch app. I love how the truck can be locked when it's on. We can't do that on our Ioniq 5 which sucks. Have to do the open window trick to lock then unlock with the app.
Congrats! Setup our house for backup power from the Pro Power and once I realized how well it works we power our house every day with it. I charge the lighting from Midnight to 6 am at 2 cents a kwh in the winter and 3 cents in the summer. Like having solar without the panels. It even runs...
Yes it was worth it as I saved 13k buying a lightly used '23 vs a new '24 and received a lot of extras.
The route I took from Denville to KC is listed below. I didn't have any problems with management charging at the campgrounds but I didn't tell them I had an EV (the Lightning is pretty much...
Well I successfully towed our '23' TAB 400 Boondock from Denville, NJ to Kansas City, Missouri. About 1,300 miles. It tows better than a 3/4 ton Duramax. I'm not going to sugarcoat it though. It was painful at times, especially out East where the charger spots were tight. Had to drop the...
I searched and I couldn't find any info. What is the current output of the Lightning's 7-pin trailer port? We are buying a Nucamp TAB 400 travel trailer that has 400ah of Lithium batteries and a Victron 3000w inverter charger. Now I'm not even sure if it's possible for the Tow vehicle to...
If the Pebble Flow has the build quality of the Nucamp TAB 400 125k will be a bargain compared to an Airstream. For kicks I priced out an AS Trade Wind and it was 133k with the two available upgrades. I have no idea if Airstreams sell for close to MSRP and I have no hope that the Pebble Flow...
Yep. We usually sell vehicles after 2 years. I believe the Lightning will be the exception. Really hoping to get an entire new battery pack in a year or two.
