  2. Dealer asking to provide service on My lightning

    Nope. This is the only truck I have bought new form a dealer. I don't generally have any one but myself work on my cars. I have been building and restoring cars and trucks for over 5 decade. I find it cheaper to buy tools than to pay some to work on my vehicles. My last truck was a 1993...
  3. Dealer asking to provide service on My lightning

    This true but at least they could tailored the their snake oil pitch to an EV. Some thing like "We will tune your battery for optimal performance and best motor efficiency."

    I received the following email from the dealer regarding service on my lightning: Hi This is xxxxxx from xxxxxx Ford. I'm reaching out because it looks like your F-150 is due for the Ford EcoBoost Fuel Induction Service, which we recommend you have done at every other oil change to help...
  5. Curious why some do not use 1 pedal driving.

    I grew up driving stick shift and road raced cars for many years. So my mind sees regenerative braking the same as engine braking which is different from pedal braking. So I find it natural to lift the throttle to slow a little and move to the brake pedal for hard braking. I am quite...

    Here is a site that list it for $679.20 other sites seem to be higher. This is the lowest price I have found so far.
  7. Ford Resumes Shipping Fast Charging Adapters (Sept. 2024 batch)

    Just my luck. At the end of August I figured it was unlikely I would get the free adapter any time soon, so on August 30 I ordered an A2Z typhoon pro. A label was printed September 6th, but it hasn't shipped yet. Today I got a notice that a label for my free Ford adapter was printed and...

    The bed extender makes the support out at 10 feet. Most of the beams were 12 but one was 16 feet. I had an orange flag on the end when I was on the road. Also 6 tie downs Crossing the lumber in the bed and tied to the bed extender as well. It was fine for the ten miles from the lumber yard...

  14. 8’ bed mod?

    I would have preferred an 8 foot bed. I saw some one else on the forum had a hitch mount bed extender which extends the bed out to 10 feet with the tail gate down or can be used with a headache rack for ladders, pipes ,lumber, etc. So I got one. Its comes apart and can easily be stored in the...
  15. Anyone charging at 10A, 12A, 14A at 240v?

    I also have a around four kilowatts of solar. I regularly charge my Truck at 12 amps using only the solar generated electricity unless I need to charge faster for a quick turn around. I have an older GE Durosation that is adjustable. 12 amp, 16 amps, 24 amps and 30. I have used all of these...
  16. Residential solar/charging times

    I have solar in California like you. Net metering is different here and there is still charges for importing vs exporting energy. So it cheaper to self consume then to export. My off peak rates are $0.26/kwh and on peak is $0.65. Charging off peak is still expensive. I produce around 40...
