It is OK to compare apples and oranges as long as we do it everywhere. For example, for the trip I am on right now, for which I took the ICE, my choices were not between an ICE F150 and Lightning. Real life choice was between a 4 cylinder outback and Lightning so his comparison chart would...

Great post. Here are some Lightning music for your truck: https://www.f150lightningforum.com/forum/threads/lightning-is-alive-my-ode-songs.33491/

74% here and I suspect this will be my last Ford either because it will be reliable or because it won’t (I am old).

I vote for 1 - Sun glare/reflection on either your face or the camera 2 - You or the truck were momentarily possessed This makes great material for a song but I want to stay positive.

I don’t know how this truck thinks but wouldn’t deep sleep makes more sense when Truck is unplugged? At an airport long term parking, saving juice is more important than plugged in at home. Just speculating on how Ford maybe thinking.

Smooth Operator? “Moto Moto” is taken This is what I got 3 years ago. It has been working OK with no issues. I have done no serious testing on reception so I have no idea if I am missing something I should be getting...

I would never suggest my choices would work for you or your wife. I would never do a joint trip without my wife’s sign off on the trip choices and she will do the same with me. We both agreed, this is the sensible thing to do and on the first leg of the trip we realized we made the right...

To be honest, if I had to choose between Lightning and the outback (if I had to keep one), I would still pick Lightning. I know outback may make more financial sense and it is better for me for long distance travel and in general, less risky to own but the grin factor of Lightning is in its own...

I have not seen one climate change denier put their mouth on an exhaust pipe and enjoy all that goodness. I just can’t see anyone arguing for pollution being a good thing even if it didn’t lead to climate change.

Let me help you a bit here. I have taken both the Lightning and my wife's outback on road trips. It is not like I have no bases for comparison. Lightning is definitely more comfortable but as for why I chose outback on this trip; We decided to do a 2000 mile road trip (the day before the...

‘What was your SOC when this happened? Maybe regen is disabled at high SOC to protect the battery? are the contacts on 12V battery clean and good? what is 12V SOC reading?

That is impressive. I wouldn’t be able to pull that off in Maryland with my Pro. In summer on backroads I regularly go on 140 mile trips and I could get that kinda efficiency but right now with 85% power and heat on,…..no way.

Yup, car shopping before you need one robs you of living life (but I don’t know how to stop).

This is her second Subaru. The first one took us on long trips in snow storms and good weather for 200,000 miles. Doubled as a truck with all the crapped we moved inside and on top. Brakes and a rubber boot were the only unexpected repairs we had, both at over 100K. Neither of which left us...

Didn’t know about buzz. It was going to be wife’s next car. I probably should not admit this in public but we just made a last minute 2000 mile road trip decision and ended up opting for the white’s Subaru. I know we would be fine with Lightning and it would be more comfortable. But the 600...

You are doing better than I did at 20K. Good luck.

Ford is trying to compete with Chinese EVs. Only it is in China. Check out the Ford Bronco EV in China. Ford is partnering with Renault to make EVs in France. Ford understands that they can not ignore EVs. It is just that U.S. May not be the best market for it at this time. On EREV, To be...

is this based on time of the day/day of the week at those locations? or they are set like that all the time? p.s. I agree with you that it will never happen. I think in U.S. EVs will get on the road faster than chargers so congestion at the chargers will likely be more of a problem than...

you can be the yahoo that don’t derate your Lightning to have your mean in peace. I will be the yahoo that does and risk getting fined or an interrupted meal. It is all about the choice. If you look at Tesla Super charger traffic charts, it is a bell curve. The 9 car scenario does not...

You have a point in current conditions we wouldn’t want to turn everyone to a Bolt but theoretically this can be resolved easily by an industry standard. On the handshake and during charging EV could give charger two numbers, desired and max current. Charger could override power when the...
