  1. Charging Lightning from a generator

    We Charged our Lightning at a FPL Mobile charger right after Hurricane Milton. We evacuated to our inland Rural cabin and FPL set up the mobile charging trailer in Okeechobee. We charged on the way home. All gas stations were out of gas. It was strange that having an EV eliminated the 1/2...
  2. Anti theft - ramble - discussion / suggestions?

    To add another point. Removing the speaker will not eliminate the message that someone gets that an AirTag is following them. Hide the AirTag very well so when some thief is notified that they are being followed by an AirTag they can't find the AirTag. " Owners of iPhones running iOS...

  4. Traveling to Birmingham AL from Destin FL

    I’m on my 2nd Lightning. My first was a 2023 Lariat ER. That GOM exaggerated the range. My current one is a 2024 Platinum. The range on the GOM of the 2024 Platinum is much more accurate. I routinely drive a 125-mile trip between my house and cabin. When charged after the trip, at either end...
  5. Traveling to Birmingham AL from Destin FL

    With these numbers your GOM estimates your full battery range at over 400 miles. Hard to believe. 22% added 89 miles 19% added 78 miles (100/22 )*89=404 miles (100/19)*78=410 miles
  6. Real-World Home Power Backup Options Using F-150 Lightning

    Actually it's a custom cable with 3 wire 10 AWG SOOW cable with a L14-30P on one end and a L14-30R on the other end. The 3 wires only connect the two hots and the Neutral. I keep it stored in the Lightning's truck bed, locked in the truck bed Swing Case. It's a cable I put together together...

  8. Real-World Home Power Backup Options Using F-150 Lightning

    If that rotary switch is used to disconnect the ground connection from the inlet box to the breaker panel it’s an obvious code violation. An inspector that would inspect some other electrical installation would red tag your house. I would keep the interlock bypass and generator inlet box...
  9. Dealerships that didn't provide paperwork for EV Tax Credit {Solution post #119}

    @Hammick Ask the dealer for the form 15400 that they are required to give you. If they can't produce it then is is likely that they didn't register the deal on the IRS Portal.

  14. Dealerships that didn't provide paperwork for EV Tax Credit {Solution post #119}

    What a mess. My friend bought a Cadillac Lyriq Ev last year. The dealer told him the same thing that they filed the paperwork. I asked him to insist they provide the IRS Form 15400 verifying the car was registered with IRS. Well they didn’t register it with the IRS. So they registered it 2...

  20. Would you trade a 2024 ER Lariat for a 2023 Platinum

    I also live in Florida,. Lived in Ft Laud for 28 years and now live in the Sarasota area. . I would absolutely trade a 24 Larati ER without the ProPower 9.6kw for a 23 Platinum.
