Normal chips and scrapes. No peeling paint here.

@Sherm Better prep equipment than I have. The missing items that I carry are some work gloves for protection, some microfiber towels and window cleaner to clean the inside of the window.

Well hopefully whoever gets serial G30745 will join us here on the forums! I found it interesting looking at the black seats. Wise design choice as it prevents the suede from bleeding black on the white seats like mine does.

The important message for potential Lightning owners is. Don't pass up on an SR Lightning because of the smaller battery. It can get upgraded. There are so many crashed Lightnings to harvest batteries from. Our community is really good at DIY and mods. I have confidence we will get to the...

The population we're polling is already pretty biased. We already believe in the Lightning. I acknowledge Ford reached a limit on who was interested in the BEV Lightning. We are a minority. Ford needs to sell to the majority to grow business. Imagined hang ups over range are still real...

Minor mod that I can share with everyone. I have a pop-up camper top. The truck bed is quite leaky and let's the cold in. Hope these pictures help anyone else wanting to make their truck bed a little more air tight for camping purposes. Got this truck tailgate seal. Finally got around to...

Ah, forgot about that. Was having too much fun thinking about the gas tank.

It depends on the engineering strategy. Keep the existing battery pack size and structure. Replace with LFP packs and put the gas tank and engine below the trunk bed. Reduce the battery size means re-engineering the pack size and manufacturing tools. Gas engine can go somewhere in the frunk...

The BEV Lightning is just adding to its legendary historic gas sibling reputation. 🤣

Thank you for the news and info simultaneously released elsewhere. I'm curious about the Lightning platform with this news. Some inferences I'm getting Lightning 400V platform will stick around. Meaning charging speeds won't get better. Lightning is not getting a revamp with the Universal...

Thank you @TaxmanHog, @Scorpio3d, & @Ventorum94 for supporting Taiwan. It is a special place to me. The Taiwanese are a distinct culture and people. Just like Ukrainians are not Russians. The Taiwanese are not Chinese. The parallels between Taiwan's and Ukraine's situation are so similar. Both...

Normal. Last time I got 1.4 mi/kWh was a snow storm driving down a rural highway at 50 mph, 32F.

I'm not convinced to blame a Democratic governor for the best laid plans for jobs and economic opportunity. The strategy was sound to get America on a path towards advancing clean energy and battery manufacturing. Jobs and manufacturing were booming before the strategy shift. The tragedy is...

Another article with more info. Ford keeps both KY battery factories. SK On freed up to sell to more customers like other auto manufacturers and/or the energy storage sector. Ford's projections of EV demand means not needing the battery manufacturing capacity of the TN plant...

I used the ProPower outlets for camping purposes. I have a pop-up camper on the truck bed. I used a electric ceramic heater plugged into the ProPower outlet to keep warm. Nice and dry heat. Other normal stuff. Heated up water with the hot water kettle. Charger phones and devices. Plugged in a...

https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/south-koreas-sk-ford-motor-end-us-battery-joint-venture-2025-12-11/ Big news. Really shows the shift in EV auto manufacturing and suppliers. SK On is following the money in energy storage and there's not money making EV batteries. Thinking...

I had my moonroof window seal replaced under warranty. The tech had to dig into the grab handle cover to get at the roof and made a nick in the grab handle cover. I'm still staring at the nicked grab handle cover. Repairs are not always risk free to a nice interior. Evidence of the work was...

Interesting article stating Ford is air freighting the rolls of aluminum. Drives the production cost astronomically high. Helps explain the Lightning production pause from a financial perspective. https://www.axios.com/2025/11/19/ford-aluminum-f-150-tariffs

I use 2 pedal driving so I don't end up on some Instagram feed. Just kidding. I use 2 pedal driving so I keep up the skill of using the brakes. I want that muscle memory. I use it occasionally. The other benefit I find with two pedal driving is the fine distance control when backing up. The...
