🔌⚡️ What Did You Plug Into Your Lightning Today?

I pulled out my wood lathe and used the bar clamp holes on the tailgate to clamp it down and then plugged it into the truck and was able to keep all the sawdust from gathering in the garage and settling on things I didn't want it on.

I aired up a basket ball with a small compressor I keep in the funk.
First time using it other than testing all outlets since 9-23-22 delivery. Also I keep the pro power set to 200 miles so the outlest are off all the time, not sure if it uses much energy while not being used but why have them on if not in use. The cab pro power turns on at every startup, there should be a button to keep them all off.

As a woodturner myself I only have one thing to say...COOL!

It makes me wonder where I could go to turn a piece of wood. Imagine driving around the forest looking for unique pieces of wood. You'd just need your chainsaw, wood lathe, and lightning to test out green wood on the spot.

A new fridge for a small remodel project... Almost a 3 hour drive home with it.

Efficiency went from 2m/kw to 1.7m/kw with the fridge in the back. It definitely was not aerodynamic!

did you plug it in before leaving so it would be cold when installed?

It isn't all that cold here in Vegas so I am able to get away with a few small 120 Volt items.
Living Room Mini-Split, Space heater, Washer.
This was at a Rest Stop in California on a Road Trip from Vegas to San Didgo

I make that drive all the time and didn’t even realize they had chargers there. It was closed for so long I must just psd it now

Quick 240Vac 30A to Reliance Controls wall mount split 120Vac six circuits inside house:

-Powering refrigerators, gas furnace, wi-fi, tv, computers, lights, with numerous heavy 12ga extension cords causing tripping hazards, during a planned power outage.
-Leaving truck "on", turned the center screen off, monitor with FordPass. Wish instrument cluster could be turned off also. Forgot to turn the Clilmate Controls off...wasted heat!
-Just had another all day power loss due to wind/rain. Even powered up my neighbor's refrigerator from the cab 120Vac outlet, as that was a little closer and uses the separate cab/frunk 2.4kW circuit. How would someone use the frunk outlets to an external device, yet keep the frunk closed enough to prevent rain getting in?

How did you load and unload the refrigerator? Seems a loading ramp at the height of the tailgate would be needed!

Visiting my son, who turns wood. He just bought a 2 hp bandsaw that only runs on 220V. The truck runs the bandsaw fine, as long as it gets past the startup (see video). It shuts the truck down about 35% of the time. We are going to decrease the blade tension to see if it helps.

We had to take the truck and the Pacifica to the in-laws for Easter. So I filled it up from empty.
