Hello, Thanks for the thorough overview... If I may ask what this set up cost you? And what company you used to install? Thanks!

Another BS Edmund's review IMO.. very dishonest. I've owned 4 EVs (13 yrs in total) before I got my Lightning Platinum some year and a half ago... 20K miles, 30% of it towing heavy. I absolutely love my truck, it is absolutely same as the day I picked it up from the dealer. Charging at home is...

Hi, it is definitely admirable you towing Airstream! Wow!... What modifications did you install?... I absolutely LOVE my Lightning but it's like driving a brick!. Very interested to see what you have done. Thanks!

I absolutely LOVE my Lightning and I've had for over a year now ( I've been driving EVs for 13 years now). JUST LOVE IT!... what I don't love is the FordPass app and the entire Ford ecosystem that Ford is subjecting us to. Their BS with Tesla adapters technically useless and FordPass public...

I posted my story a couple of months back that LECTRON adapter failed me at Tesla Supercharger.... I have been using now a Ford issued one with no problems... So my thinking is that these adapters just fail for some reason.. Now I always have 2 with me unfortunately...

Well.. As an EV enthusiast and owner for the past 13 years my Lightning Platinum is my 5th EV. I lived in NYC and now Texas. I originally paid my electrician in NYC $1000 to run an additional 50 ft dedicated line, 60 Amp breaker and install new electric dryer type electric socket (and additional...

I usually get around 2-2.2kwh/mile when I drive around town. BUT when I hit the road and start driving 75-80 mph speed then the efficiency drops to 1.8-1.9 kwh/mile. I just love that crazy acceleration! And "engine roar" too... It is like driving a brick shaped truck, the faster you go the more...

I personally do not see a problem with it. I hire web developers overseas costing me less than 30% what I would have to pay here on the top of their sick days, payroll taxes, other benefits and general attitude their **** don't stink. Every single large company is so bloated with waste and...

To anyone complaining about the state of chargers available I say this: My Lightning is my 5th EV and I have been driving EVs for 13 years now. I feel blessed being able to use Tesla Supercharger network and I avoid all others if I can nowadays. Tesla's juice is also cheapest at $.32/kWh...

This is NEVER going to happen. Cost prohibitive.. BTW, I honestly don't have a problem stopping every 3 hours of highway driving to charge up, stretch my legs, go to the bathroom, grab a cup of coffee, etc.... Why some ppl are so fixated on long distance driving without stopping?... I find it...

Hello y'all, Just wanted to share with y'all my recent experience with LECTRON adapter I bought last year in August after I bought my new Lightning Platinum (I received Ford adapter just a week ago after 8 month wait... Terrible!). I have a Tesla membership and I enjoy the experience every time...

I have had my 2023 Lightning Platinum for exactly one year.. Put 12K miles on it only but every time I drive it I'm very very glad I bought it.. The best vehicle I ever had (and I owned all best luxury brands before including Porsche). Never once had a problem either.. As to charging it.. I plug...

Ditto! I have driven 5 EVs since 2012 including my new 2023 Lighting Platinum for a total of 300K miles AND if there was ANY battery degradation I did NOT notice it at all.... just my 5 cents here...

I disagree strongly about your statement regarding battery degradation. I have 13 years of experience driving EVs and my 2023 Lightning Platinum is my 5th EV I've bought. I absolutely LOVE it and I consider it the best vehicle I've ever owned and I had all the premium brands including Porsche...

I came to understanding that I should use only Tesla Superchargers on my trips. Especially here in TX many are located within Buc-ee's so it's so so convenient!... These SC stations rarely have less than 20 plugs so it's never been a problem... We usually are charged up to 90% even before we're...

I agree.. My Lightning is my 5th EV since 2012.. I had both generations of Chevy Volt and 2 Chevy Bolts when I lived in NYC.. Both models awesome, awesome cars! I used to routinely get over 4mi/hWh out of my Bolts in NYC stop and go traffic.. HOWEVER, I got my amazing Lightning after I moved to...

He must have been towed! lol... I rarely top 2m/kWh..

Great looking out for the poor fella living in a tundra! lol Luckily for me and I suspect 90% of other Lightning owners I have not used my car key fob since the day I bought the truck. I absolutely love the phone connectivity JUST because I never part with my phone and I just love it!.... but I...

Buc-ee's is definitely way to go... When we're road-tripping I try to stop only at Tesla SCs there... Truck is always at 80% charged before we're done "roaming" Buc-ee's so it's a breeze.... And I never push juice past 80%... Waste of time IMO waiting for that little extra. I never drive more...

I did consider Chevy Silverado EV (and Hummer and Cybertruck too) before I got my Lightning Platinum and I absolutely hated how cheap looking the interior was for about $20K more! I love the luxurious Lighting interior and I agree with the midgate statement that wind/rain/road debris would be a...
