✅ 7/11/22 Lightning Build Week Group

[Ford Senior Master]

Ditto. My commute has been the best part of my day for the last few weeks and I’ve taken all the errand running duties just cause I want to drive it. Who knew it would really help the marriage??? Sadly though I’ve been home sick all week with the kids and it’s killing me that I haven’t gotten to drive the truck.

Friday they’re coming to install my FCSP.

Honestly, I've only used my chargers at work once a week. In 600 miles I've yet to pay a dime for charging. I did use 8kw of my free dcfc just to show my wife how to charge at a dcfc.

Have I told you guys how much I love my truck lately? How could you not be completely enamored with the lightning. @Commercial Sales Ford needs to get his charging straightened out. Once he does everything will be great.

I'm glad someone is. I have absolutely positively hated mine the last week.

I hate that I get excited about how much storage this truck has.
I hate that I needed to go order a bedliner because I care about the truck.
I hate that CarPlay is so seamless and ruins other cars w/o it for me.
I hate that I'm addicted to the acceleration.
I hate that the acceleration causes excessive tire wear.

Most of all, I hate that I leave my Tesla with Free Supercharging at home to take the F-150L which costs me money to charge.

I wish I never bought the thing.

Amen! Hopefully back in the house Friday. Floors being laid tomorrow. Here is picture of my front yard that finally got covered back up yesterday, peep the lighting.

Yeah that right pedal sucks. It's too hard to resist pressing it a little too much. The local police officers can't get enough though. I've already had to give 4 of them rides. It's funny how they suddenly like EV's once they feel the 1g takeoff.

Awesome... you'll be so much happier when you start the morning off at 90% or more.

We we’re going to try a dcfc on our trip to Richmond the other weekend but the darn thing got us there and back with plenty to spare.

I’ve got a $250 gift card to Outback Steakhouse with your name on it if you want me to take it off your hands?

@Yellow Buddy have you planned to do the ambient lighting upgrade?

Haha I feel that we did a ride and drive event at with our local electric provider for an event they had and our lighting didn’t stop moving for 5 hours and everyone just loved it. The haters became believers very quickly

The local guys got really excited when the first SHOs hit the fleet. So I made it a point to swing by, they got really excited and we may or may not have done some previews and err testing.

That might work... he likes to trade for gift cards.

It'll have to be much more gift cards.

I did also list the truck on Turo, it was part of the deal so that I can keep the R1T and the F150L. It's renting out for roughly $300/day and I've got quite a bit of days booked so if I can keep that up the truck should be paid off pretty quickly.

I haven't even looked at it. Will it work out of the box? Or do I need forscan again?

Shit I might list mine, I used to rent my Accord on their and it did well.

I never did it before so I was a bit nervous. Most folks just seem to want to try it out, and I keep wondering if my truck will show up on YouTube.

It’s been insane. I also charge them $50 for a full “tank” of electricity, which costs me $7 to my surprise many have no issues just paying it instead of charging it before bringing it back.

I know what you mean. My oldest son is an officer and he has told them all I think. Our locals are a good bunch. They block the roads for us to do burn outs. Sorry the videos weren't loading well.
