  1. Use Lightning like a Power Wall? Peak load shaving, not backup?

    Sorry, never tested the Focus cells. We are currently drive testing the Mach E and I should start disassembling the battery pack in about four weeks to start cell level testing. We are working on a way to get a Lighting for the next year's vehicle (NOT MINE) to benchmark and tear down to cell...
  2. Got a build date today!

    OK, I have the site bookmarked...you can delete your post now ;)
  3. F-150 Lightning Will Pace NASCAR Race at Martinsville April 7-9

    Yes, and special badging (notice the large Lighting along the side).
  4. F-150 Lightning Will Pace NASCAR Race at Martinsville April 7-9

    The race is on FS1 if anyone wants to catch a glimpse. It has been an entertaining race so far, and the intensity is only going to go up.
  5. F-150 Lightning Will Pace NASCAR Race at Martinsville April 7-9

    They had the Lighting as the pace car for the Truck series, the Mach-E for the Infinity series, and the Lighting is back out for the Cup series.
  6. Exclusive look @ F-150 Lightning next week at SEMA Garage! Post your questions & requests!

    That is actually one of my choices to play. Another one is the rumble of a Harley-Davidson engine.
  7. Exclusive look @ F-150 Lightning next week at SEMA Garage! Post your questions & requests!

    Most, if not all, EVs have a dedicated speaker to produce the sound...seems like a simple task of disconnecting the wires to stop the sound. I'm more interested in changing the sound to what I want it to play.
  8. F-150 Lightning Will Pace NASCAR Race at Martinsville April 7-9

    Which is the reason I want this over the Rivian or Cyber Truck. I want a pickup truck that is electric not an identity crisis looking for everyone to notice me.
  9. WAVE 2 - Got VIN?

    Are you actually Wave 2, and if so, what did you order that managed to beat my Wave 1 Lariea+ order for a build date?
  10. Ford Lightning Lariat SR For Sale Possibily

    I would just forgo the tax credit as the resale value will more than makeup for it and not be worth the risk of an audit. That being said, I hate the thought of a flipper but also realize that if he just abandoned the order the extra money would just go to the dealer.
  11. Blue F150 lightning & Blue Silverado EV under one roof @ North Texas Auto Show. Which one is your choice?

    I have this on my Denali and it's great! You can turn the mirror to where everyone in the truck can see what is behind. It does take a bit to learn to focus on the surface, not into the mirror.
  12. F-150 Lightning Electrical System Overview – w/ 12v Battery, Power and Ground Points

    This looks good. The lead acid replacements I have tested did not have a BMS...mainly because my testing was designed to destroy them so the companies removed them.! My previous comment was without thinking there would be a BMS, but it makes sense to include it. Let us know how well it preforms.
  13. F-150 Lightning Electrical System Overview – w/ 12v Battery, Power and Ground Points

    The charge profile for Li-ion is MUCH different than a Lead Acid. I personally would be hesitant in doing this unless there was a way to update the charge profile in the BMS.
  14. Adler Weiner Research - Online Interview for Lightning - invite

    I would say this is incorrect...I have the same email, yet I have a GMC Denali in the driveway. Might be true if you have owned a Ford truck in the past. (The Denali replaced an F150 Limited due to the better toys on the inside) Frankly, my schedule is so busy next week (only slightly busier...
  15. Ambient Lighting

    It probably isn't a part cost problem, more of a research information problem. Studies have shown that red light is good at putting you to sleep and blue light is good for keeping you awake. I remember my B-52 Weapons System Operator buddy talking about this 15+ years ago. Now you can buy...
  16. Jim Farley: F-150 Lightning Sold Out For 2-3 Years, Reservations Stopped at 200k

    Not a myth, but yes, they are at least 3 years out. They started appearing in my lab within the last year for some independent testing (mainly SAE J2464 "safety*" testing). My lab is considered an advanced research lab, so this tells you they have moved out of the basic research phase. What I...
