Someone can correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe the Lightning has integrated LED headlights and taillights across all trim levels without any user replaceable bulbs? I’m not sure how a product like this would apply to the Lightning lineup.

This is who you must face off with in the final step of gaining Mega-Karen superpowers

Tesla at one point sold their Wall Connector with a J1772 plug...

From my understanding there’s a limit on CCS chargers of 500 amps, and since the Lightning has around a 400 Volt battery, that caps the charge rate at 200kw, so 180kw max seems about right if the pack is slightly lower voltage when it’s discharged. They might be able to bump it slightly to...

Just got the notification for this one. Gotta love #6 recall/CSPs in less than 12 months. Hopefully Ford is close to getting the kinks worked out lol

Seems like a good and informative video as always - I’m still hesitant to use the non OEM adapter. Even if a third party one can match the quality and safety, I’d hate For Ford or Tesla to use it as an excuse for denying a repair or project damage liability if an issue ever arose during a...

Quick question - my FordPass says that this CSP not complied with. However, my window sticker does not mention a heated steering wheel delete and I have a functioning heated wheel from the factory. Is this really a performance “upgrade”? Or is this only installing the system in trucks that had...

Bummer that you still can’t see the live status of things like locks, temps, door/frunk/tailgate position. That’s one big feature that I really miss having after using the Tesla app.

I’ve alluded to it in other threads but I don’t know why they can’t take the column shifter from the six seat cab configs and make it standard across the entire F Series. The parts have already been engineered. It doesn’t take up console or dash room and sits in otherwise unused space. Feels way...

A drastically larger 500 “rated mile” battery and 800V charging so the thing is a legit road tripper. Right now I’d say the Lightning is “passable” for my use, but will soon be class trailing in terms of range once the Ram and GM offerings are in full production. I think there’s gonna have to be...

I don’t to be honest…they are coated steel just like most lug nuts. If they corrode I’ll probably try the McGards - but for now they are holding up fine. I’m in the south so rust doesn’t seem to be too much of an issue on vehicles but I wiped some spray wax on them anyways.

Neat idea. Although I’d rather have a column mounted shifter and 4 cup holders, the dial seems like a good option. I just hate how much slop there is in the stock shifter. Makes it feel very cheap.

Those are stock for the Lariat wheels. Only thing I changed were the lug nuts

Because in the current scenario, Ford’s Blue Oval is just a middle man selling you something that another company (Tesla) sells. It wouldn’t surprise me if Ford has negotiated a cut of sales for each full price “plug and charge” session which is why Ford pushes everyone so hard to use plug and...

Also a reminder that you can subscribe to Supercharging directly in the Tesla app for discounted charging rates, similar to the Electrify America app. It’s not quite as convenient as Ford plug and charge but could save money if you frequently fast charge

It shouldn’t add that much to the price. Basically you isolate the battery into two separate 400V packs. When you are driving the two packs work in parallel to provide 400V to the motors. When you are charging the two batteries are wired in series to double the voltage. All that needs to be...

Unsurprisingly the $7500 tax credit disappearing on the Mach E has torpedoed sales. It’s pretty much impossible for Ford to compete on price when comparables like the Tesla Model Y are getting $7500 point of sale.

Fortunately for Ford, Tesla possibly spared them their EV future by building something divisive visually, questionable utility wise, and more expensive instead of the promised massively cheaper. I totally agree - if Tesla would have cloned the F-150 body with their drivetrain and software I’d...

Would you say that the cells in the Lightning are similar quality to the ones in Tesla/GM/VW or some of the Korean brands? Teslas seem to have to have a pretty good track record for longevity but of course they’ve been around longer to actually see some high mileage examples. Just curious if you...
