  1. Charging Overnight: Rivian Dealership Learns the Hard Way

    4 wheel drive F150’s were always too tall for our integral garage. FCSP was mounted outside. I used to lament that I couldn’t have an inside charger with the fancy Sunrun VtH power back up. Articles like these and problems people had with the back up systems make me grateful for my old home...
  2. Bad weather mileage - 1.5mi/kWh

    Head winds? They can be real range killers.
  3. Ford considers ending F-150 Lightning

    Just my 2Ā¢. Ford could have done much better by marketing Pros with SR to small business people who put less than 100 miles per day and go home every night. Keep the initial investment low and they would have flocked to the truck. Instead they marketed Lariats with ER to people like most of us...
  4. Ford considers ending F-150 Lightning

    Deja Vu all over again. Sounds like Japan and fuel efficient cars in the 80’s. China will develop high quality, economic EV’s and Wall Street Journal will blame US auto makers for being asleep at the wheel.
  5. New home backup option?

    Still waiting on Enphase DC V2H.
  6. What is your truck's nickname?

    My truck.
  7. Windy road trip 40MPH Headwinds

    Traveling west on PA Turnpike yesterday into strong winds out of the west dropped normal 2 m/kwh to 1.4. (Slow down? Naaaa). On positive side, we were introduced to the Tesla chargers in New Stanton. Usually, a charge up in Breezewood is adequate to get to Pittsburgh. Not yesterday. Also saw...
  8. Winter Tires vs All Season

    Snow tires with rubber compounds that donā€˜t harden as much at cold temperatures for better traction aren’t necessary, until you need them. btw - in western PA we normally get one or two ice storms per winter. It’s only dangerous for a couple hours each time. People stay home unless they are...
  9. Is this T3? August 11th "Model T moment" for Ford says Jim Farley

    If you want to get rich, you don’t follow the crowd.
  10. PSA on Jack Points

    I had a friend who worked for the Pittsburgh Penguins. He got me Yovi (?) pucks that are orange practice pucks heavier and denser than game pucks. They are about 15 years old and still holding shape.
  11. Lightning SR - no home charging experiences?

    The guyā€˜s in a tough situation and From OP ā€œWhat are your experiences? Am I the only fool who owns sr with no home charging?ā€ Why are so many people so butt hurt about this? Sounds like massive insecurities lashing out at a comment requested by the OP and not them. If you direct a comment at...
  12. Lightning SR - no home charging experiences?

    You can run what you want. I stated what I did. WTH is biting your butt? Me thinks you complain too much. With the angst I’m seeing, too many people are married to their Lightnings. It’s just a truck, if you have a life.
  13. Lightning SR - no home charging experiences?

    Doesn’t sound like OP can even do 48 amps. Or anything at 240v. Running exclusively on DCFC kills the economic incentive for paying the premium for an EV. I wouldn’t do it. My opinion after knowledge from 3 years of ownership.
  14. Lightning SR - no home charging experiences?

    Are you trying to tell me I would own the truck if I couldn’t fast charge at home? Or I bought the truck for emotional reasons, not economic? Or should settle for less? Nice leap without knowing me.
  15. Lightning SR - no home charging experiences?

    Without FCSP running at 80 amps at home, I wouldn’t own this truck. Can you make something less work? Of course but why bother. Unless there a reason to override economics, cut losses and move on.
  16. Edmunds 3 year Lightning review

    With fast depreciation an impartial review would say ā€œfantastic vehicle to pick up usedā€. Journalism is a dying profession.
  17. How to stop horn beep with walk away locks.

    Now that we have WAL, I searched ā€œHow to stop horn beep with walk away lockā€ and got no results. Does anyone have the cliff notes to doing this? Thanks in advance.
