Oh c'mon this cannot be serious. I would argue the EXACT opposite. The American EV's are fine, it's the lack of basic infrastructure that's holding us back. Sure you can get anywhere in the USA, but there are some real places that are a headache. Having to drive into the inner city for a fast...

Also, as someone who spends a lot of time on the road, the NACS port isn't living up to its hype. ==================================================================== Agree 1000% with this. I think Ford again made the right call keeping CCS for a few more years. CCS / NACS are about equal in...

The more I think about this the less I care to be honest. And I also am not sure how true it is. The Ford F150 Lightning sales really are not that bad in my opinion. Nowhere near what Ford predicted (150k / year), but it is still a fairly popular model. October YTD 25' sales are 25k. That is...

Honestly from a business standpoint it probably makes total sense right now. The aluminum plant fire probably pushed this 6 months earlier than planned but this was coming. I bought a brand new 2023 in 2025…….and I suspect the dealer took a bath on the truck. If they have 1+ year inventory...

I love my truck. I mean I LOVE it. But I researched it for 3 months. I would only recommend it to a handful of people. I think ford played their part perfectly. Built on a F150 platform. Shared costs with the 500,000 gas models they produce. There will be plenty of parts around for...

If this were a car forum I could kind of understand the mentality around here but it's not. This is a truck forum. People buy trucks because they have work to do. And it was explained earlier in this thread that we're talking about Towing and the fact that a PHEV would be a much more flexible...

Have you drive under 30 miles? I went from a 2021 explorer to a 2023 Lightning and I get that exact same message. Mine occurs at 30 miles. And I know for a fact I am not up to date on software releases (yet).

Offgrid Solar Beginner Crash Course: Build a 10,000W Solar System Here is a better video he does. This one is a little more expensive but still cheaper than your EcoFlow. Could probably get 26kW of battery storage. I'm not a huge electrical DIY guy but this seems like something a 9th grader...

Lowest Price DIY Offgrid Solar System for 2025 - YouTube This guy is a savant at solar / EV. I've watched a ton of his videos and this is probably the closest to what youre asking for. For 3-4K (no solar panels), it's actually not that crazy. Considering a Level 2 install is probably $1500...

I am looking into this idea. Since I'm going to have to have a fair amount of work done regardless I kind of want the most robust system. This will allow me to access the entire panel rather than a critical loads. So can power things as needed rather than just designating 8 things. Also...

If you were to install a 200amp manual transfer switch. Why not do it Before the outside panel? That way you could 'theoretically' have access to both panels if you somehow could input enough amperes.

And unfortunately this subpanel is about 3 rooms away. I cannot find the conduit so it must be well done in the wall. House was redone about 8 years ago after a storm. P.S. I 100 % plan on getting an electrician. I understand this stuff just enough to know the basics. I'm just trying to...

I belive y'all are correct yes. Makes more sense. A single 200 amp panel and then a sub panel. So you're saying a 200 amp transfer switch on the feed from the outside panel to the inside panel? That seems expensive and overengineered for what the lightning or a home generator could do? I...

I have been reading up extensively on the GFCI issues with the Pro-Power onboard. I am looking to soon have an electrician install a 220V EVSE. I would like at the same time to get my house ready for back-up power using Pro Power Onboard. Looking at my system I have 2 panels of 200 amps. I...

Scanning through that thread now like I'm a senator voting on a 3000 page bill. tonight at midnight. THanks for the update. I am going to PM you my VIn and look into this. Currently 400 miles from home so with lots of summer trips planned so this may be something I "prepare" to do in July...

Explain to me like I'm 5 master sage.

Brand new yes. 2023 Model I found some paper that said delivered October 2023 to the dealer.

Sync software version 23159_Product Revision 915

New owner. Got it from ford dealership I assume they updated all the OTA but you know what they say about assume. how do I check what software updates my truck has downloaded Va what’s available. I don’t see % of battery in my screen so I assume I’m behind. SR 2023. All I really want is...

Kind of just blew my mind about Plug in cooling / heating options. this certainly could make stopping BETTER than a Gas with some planning. Why stop at at nasty fast food joint when you could pop the Frunk and heat some foods or have some cold items. Does the pro power run while you're...
