The invoice was $2,300 and is securely locked in dead truck at dealership - I just went to pick it up. Yes did the BMS reset dance - 5 hi beam flashes and 3 brake taps or whatever - the dash icon showed the reset each time. Stay tuned….

It’s all based on percentage used, 99.9% chance all ten houses pull 200 amps simultaneously. All the way up the distribution pipe this is standard. Your particular scenario doesn’t make sense and likely breaks a bunch of codes - does not sound like everything wired in would have passed load...

Transit is a Brick ++, without a passenger configuration and a baby battery it was doomed. Had looked at buying a couple. They priced it more then a Lightning Pro and its only two seats with a bare metal cargo area and a smaller battery. Just bought two Id.Buzz with twice range then Transit...

People who own an ev know an extender is a joke, people who dont own an ev are scared to drive to store without gas backup. I have a range extender for towing long distances - it’s called a Diesel. It will last forever now that all the “daily” driving is done with the Lightning. Win/Win.

The aluminum plant fire put nail in Lightning, this gives them an easy out to cancel it and send metal to protect ICE margins. That said I’ll be perusing any dealer fire sales as well as the auctions, the trucks pay for themselves Ford just completely missed boat by not starting with Fleets and...

What was cost to install like, tank in back or frunk? Controls all manual or any API to auto start when truck in Accessory or started? Looking seriously at this given our climate and use. 24s with heat pump suspect have different piping, hoping on 23s it would also preheat fluid for battery.

Had one of our trucks die right after started (about 10 minutes into shift) 12v dead - swapped in new one. Left in heated shop overnight started next morning fine drove 10 minutes dead again. Swapped in second incase first was bad - no luck truck would go in Accessory but not start. A couple...

Seemed like Ford had fixed this issue but might be back - went to start Lariat and it did the 99 warnings, frunk open, yadda yadda... no start, screen shutting down low power. Truck was plugged on Level 2 at 95% for past 48 hours, last trip was 200 miles. Temps getting cool here but above...

We have three of the smallest DCs available - won’t buy another. They work fine at a net 22.3kw however you cannot precondition for departure time. DC is on/off there is no truck side control like AC. They take a 150 amp circuit for a 240v install. All in you are $10-15k usd. Best bet is...

I would ignore the 240 if you are only running 120 - the two sets of two 120s are the A and B side of the same 240 circuit - so think internal pigtail already. You can run 4 circuits - the 4 plugs at rear - as a simulated 120/20 amp. Note you can pull 120/30 amp from those plugs and melt your...

EVs should come with a built in level 1 hardwired that is just a 120 plug - the old school block heater cord out the front. Waste of space lugging the level 2 around in frunk as emergency cord

We have several dealers (all GM) doing the $2/minute on 50 kw chargers. The “reasoning” given is they are only for dealership use - however anyone with plug and charge gets screwed if they didnt check on app. These dealers I can tell really hate EVs so it was likely a forced install by...

All the above from Yellow, also use an App that shows how busy your next stop is - ie Tesla - if it shows 10/12 in use vs a 2/8 go to the less busy one. Don’t hesitate to unhook though, odds are you can drop trailer, pull straight into a stall, and then back right under hitch. If it has an...

Short answer yes - our dealer (ford oem) warranty will sell us a year or km/mile extension at any point prior to date or mileage being exceeded. Long answer - prices will vary as time goes by. I bought a 5 year/240k km due to rate we put on - if at end of 5 we are <240 we can add on a year(s)...

We have two compareable SR/Pro one with 50k miles and other with 5k at 100% charge they give exactly same 381 kms. Two ERs one with 55k miles and one with 20k - both show 541km at 100%. The high mileage ones see DCs regularly, the lows only get level 2. I’ve seen zero difference on the...

No home charger your basically driving an ICE - you’ll be fueling on same schedule. If there is a 175 kw DC nearby or on direct work/home path you will be fine just expect negligeable savings paying “pump” price. Level of frustration depends on daily/weekly miles. Being in Cali you don’t need...

If you live where it stays above Freezing an SR is just fine. If you like new get a pro SR and add running boards, etc. If you like toys get a 22/23 SR Platinum or Lariat. Should be about same price. I prefer the earlier models the heat pump is noisy when you are used to the non-pump models...

Welcome to the bane of electronic breakers, your best example is A/C compressors on RVs. Soft starts are an option / add on to ease spike on compressor start to not trip breakers. You can buy a soft start online best bet buy one and see. I havent dug deep into this however past threads people...

Coolant low is nothing new, that's why it's on the "maintenance' checks with rotate tires. The others depends if warranty will cover. There is a '23 Lariat ER Max Tow on local Ford dealers lot for $40k US ($60k Cdn). If you are getting it from Carvana for $30k US then go for it - if you are...

It seems somewhat odd, was inspection done at Ford Dealer? Assuming not or you'd know the warranty question/answer. Negotiate to take it to a Ford dealer to be inspected for potential abuse that would void warranty. I'm generally leery of 3rd party "we buy your car" dealership vehicles...
