I am on the road now and have limited access to at-home charging. I signed up with EVGO because they say they are now affiliated with the fast expanding Pilot/Flying J Truck Stop EV Charging network. I bought the EVGO $12.99 subscription plan in order to lower my cost per KW as low as possible...

Thought I would post a bit about our last trip from KY to TX because there were several revelations. I have been inactive here on the Forum for the past few months because that trip turned out to be such as disaster. After driving to Memphis we found the EA Charger was completely out of...

On a Lightning trip to Dallas to E-Bike - Got to the Electrify Am in Memphis which Pass & EA said was good to find out of order for past 3 weeks (all stations). Had only 60 mi. Left so could not make it to nearest CCS (in Forrest City, AR.) Able to beg a 6kw hookup from AutoNation Ford, Memphis...

I was surprised when I first insured my '22 Lightning - surprised because it was so low. I believe this will not be the case, at least for Cybertrucks and the Rivians. Back when I loved those Muscle Cars, but could never buy one because of the high insurance premiums. I wonder whether the...

I took delivery of my 2022 Lightning Lariat ER August 25th and after a 1,000 mile Break-In Road Trip in early September, I began charting my Charge Logs using the supplied 32 amp mobile charger under both 120 volt and 240 volt connections. My rural power is supplied by a co-op over old lines so...

First, let me say that my driving lifestyle is normally a couple of short low speed local trips of less than 50 miles each per week. I just used up my once a year 1,000 mile road trip last week returning from Dearborn. I assume that the lowest possible charge rate is the most efficient and...

I was looking for a Cheap Lockable Container Box to carry in the bed of my Lightning to keep all my Support Equipment (hydraulic jack, jump box, charger, extension cords, star wrench, dangles, etc.) organized. I did not want it in my frunk or under the back seat. I plan to bungie it in place on...

https://insideevs.com/news/590878/ford-f-150-lightning-removable-range-extender/ Ford F-150 Lightning Spied With Removable Range Extender? It could just be a tool box, but a patent filing by Ford from two years ago leads us to believe otherwise. Source...

Lots of discussion about using your new Lightning to power your home. But this would require an upfront investment (SunRun or Other) of up to $40,000 for an 8-10 KW System. A system of this size would be required for a larger home. If you do not buy it for cash you will also pay interest and...

I am interested in knowing more about the Lightning Factory Paint Shop. Understand that this video is not it exactly, because Ford's Process is proprietary. The meat is at the 30 - 35 Minute Mark of Episode 2...

Expecting my Lightning delivery in Late July, not ever used an EA on-the-road Charge Station (or any other), and starting to plan my first long Break-In Road Trip (from Kentucky down to Charleston, SC), I have a deep hole in my Hillbilly Knowledge (although I can repair a JD Tractor with a Pen...

(Thanks to @Michael Grasso and @Ksjrb03 of the BroncoG6 Forum) This post is meant to give a thorough understanding of how the build process works and what all these terms mean, for those of you asking. First thing you have to understand, this is not like ordering something off Amazon. There are...

Yesterday we found out that Ford has delayed the Infotainment System change from Sync IV to Android Google. The 2022 Ford Lightning will have Sync but 2023 will be outfitted with the new system. And, the new system cannot be retrofitted to the 2022 Lightning. Does it matter? What are we...

Most orders can be tracked through: https://www.ford.com website after you Log In and choose the "Reservations" Tab. But some of us who changed dealers at some point do not fit into this category and Ford does not update that website for us anymore. Also, (in my case) emails do not come from...

Tis the season for some of us to turn our thoughts on how we are going to pay for our new Lightning. For Example Purposes I am using my own Lariat ER with Max. Trailer Tow Package (+$825) and Destination Charges (+$1,695) for a Total of $79,994. I agreed with my Dealer to add what I viewed as a...

Just some random questions and thoughts.... :unsure: The earliest Estimated Production Date announced to date is the Week of April 11th with a VIN # of about 002800. The lastest is May 30th (a total run of 8 Weeks) with a VIN # of about 005900. I assume that all the Lightnings manufactured...
