  1. RIP RAM BEV

    When Tesla was coming out with the cyber truck, their version of a range extender was just a battery pack that fit in the bed (I think it was about half of the bed length and height)and I assume it could be taken out? I think that would be a great idea, for those occasions when you need it!
  2. What to do with spare ER batteries - Buy the matching truck?

    I believe the Power wall 3 uses LFP and is air cooled. I would assume you would need to install/hook up a cooling system for the Ford battery which is liquid cooled in the vehicle. Certainly doable just saying…
  3. Range? What's the effect on range of various MPH?

    I see you’re down near Houston. I am in the DFW area. I know the climates are quite different even though we’re only a few hours apart. I can make it to Austin No problem on a single charge unless I’m doing around 90 mph then I’ll probably have to stop and get a bit of a charge, (I usually stop...
  4. Electrified Overlanding

    I know nothing about making videos, but I would suggest you get a microphone of some type as you can hear a lot of the background noise and it obviously sounds like you’re far away. Good luck with your venture! Good to see people putting out positive and truthful things about EV’s. I think if...
  5. Brights flickering on turns

    Yes! I have driven through a construction zone that had concrete barriers, put up between the lanes and had a bunch of reflective stickers or something on the top of the concrete barrier, and it will light them up and then turn them off and then light them up and then turn them off and then...
  6. Caravan Road Trip: Mach-E & Lightning from Northern AZ to LA

    I just meant I wonder what the efficiency difference for the lightning (actually both vehicles )would be if it was following? I know you said you weren’t drafting necessarily, but I’m sure y’all were not too far behind each other? LOL-I guess we were posting at the same time, but you beat me to it
  7. Caravan Road Trip: Mach-E & Lightning from Northern AZ to LA

    I know it would not be exactly be the same , but I wonder how much of a difference if the Mach-e was in front??
  8. Empty coolant reservoir

    @TaxmanHog cut and pasted the information from the owners manual earlier in this thread, along with a link to the summit racing page for the correct fluid… They call it ā€œyellowā€, but it’s a neon green color when you pour it into the reservoir tank, it is probably called yellow because it’s a...
  9. Empty coolant reservoir

    Should’ve checked with Ford. It is much cheaper. I bought some last year because mine was a little bit low. Also got the concentrate because I can always add water and I always go for the most bang for my buck!!
  10. Observations from 1st road trip so to speak

    I have been in that situation as well and I just slowly went over the block, not much different than a speed bump in some areas not something I would recommend as I’m sure if you crashed into them and had to replace them your insurance would probably drop you!
  11. Observations from 1st road trip so to speak

    The V4’s have longer cables and the magic dock built in (I know some V3 have the magic dock as well) so we don’t have to take up extra spaces or block the other chargers this one is sideways, so it’s closer, but you can see how much slack there is in the cable!
  12. Observations from 1st road trip so to speak

    A Tesla was on the far right of course.
  13. Empty coolant reservoir

    If you fill it up yourself I would definitely keep a very close eye on it after that!!! if there is air in the lines, it will take a while to purge all the air so you may be filling it a few times, depending on how low it is and assuming there is no leaks that is not at all good for your battery!!!
  14. F150 Lightning FORScan thread - Version 2

    Not trying to be an ass, but just push down with your right foot.
  15. Spied: F-150 Lightning "Tremor" Off-Road Prototype

    Trying to keep it fresh until the new one? I don’t understand all the people that buy raptors and tremors for a fancy pavement princess! no offense, just not my thing!
  16. Ford Lightning review by The Car Care Nut on YouTube

    Overall, good review! I agree with everything that has been said prior to this post. One thing I thought was pretty funny was when he opened the 12V battery compartment and said the smallest battery in the biggest truck LMAOšŸ˜‚šŸ¤£šŸ˜‚ Many of his complaints about it are things they have removed as the...
  17. Walmart adding DCFC at a pretty good clip?

    Texas has a law that you cannot buy directly from the manufacturer or even in one of the 30+/- showrooms that they have in the state but they still moved their headquarters here and built a massive Gigafactory in the Austin area, but you have to purchase the vehicle from out of state and have it...
  18. Walmart adding DCFC at a pretty good clip?

    I have heard that Costco has started installing some, but I have not researched or verified this information!!
  19. Walmart adding DCFC at a pretty good clip?

    This is from their website, but the one I took pictures of is not listed???
