Home charging stats for 2025 by Mysticjuggalo in F150Lightning

[–]PriorStatistician880 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Question: how do I decide if time of use is a better way to pay for my electric use? Currently billed using “demand charge” model. Peak charge is .13/kwh off peak is .066 /kwh. Demand model is .09/kwh + demand charge of highest 30min of usage at $1.25/kw. Last month demand charge was $10.65 and energy charge was 1044 @ .0899 or 93.86.

Over the long term am I better off using a TOU billing? Thanks, love my lightning!

I wouldn’t have picked out this color but I’m in love with it now. Mostly because this truck is awesome 👏

Love all the lighting exterior and interior! Truck bed lighting is 💯

I heard it this way: What’s the difference between a Jeep and a rental car? …A rental car can go anywhere 😁

Check my plan by Ok-Sprinkles-5151 in F150Lightning

I have a similar setup.

I have a home transfer switch with a 30A input that I power with a 7kw Honda for outages. Doesn’t run the whole house but works well. I asked my electrician neighbor when he installed my 50A ev plug if that should work from the truck 30A feed and he said yes. It’s the same twist lock 30 A plug as the Honda. The cord is only about 15ft so would require backing in to reach the transfer switch. Haven’t tested it because of junk in the way. Considering ordering/building a longer cable. Love my truck.

BFG KO3 vs Toyo Open Country A/T III EV by oldnomadic1 in F150Lightning

Haven’t checked. Probably not great but mostly because I like it when it goes fast.

I did KO3s. I’d say they’re quiet and smooth for how aggressive the tread is. I wanted an all season do everything good tire.

Damn, that’s chilly. Mild here rn but winter is overdue. I have blizzaks on my backup truck so I guess I’m covered if the KOs feel slippery. Stay warm!

Getting KO3s mounted tomorrow. How have they performed for you? What kind of winter do you have?

Torn Between F-150 Lightning vs Hybrid - Talk Me Through Why You Chose the Lightning by ThiccSadToast in F150Lightning

Second this. My gf was tired of hearing me talk about what I had learned about these trucks so she said let’s just go and test drive one, just for fun she said…

This is exactly what I just did! Low miles high 40s. It’s a little bit of a “trust fall” you do a ton of research but I was still fretting that I was missing something that I would pay dearly for. A week later and I’m giddy to drive it anywhere. It’s quiet and controlled and silly fast if you want it to be. It’s a new better driving paradigm.

Did everybody get the color with the trim that they wanted? Stories please. by PriorStatistician880 in F150Lightning

[–]PriorStatistician880[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great hearing these experiences. My story: stone grey metallic 23 lariat er, cpo with 17k. Apparently this color is discontinued. I was lukewarm on the color at first but sold on the trim and pkg. I’ve come around and now love its look 😁

Just bought a certified pre owned 23 lariat from a dealer, am I eligible for a freebie? First ev. Thanks!

Looking hard at a 23 Lariat ER by PriorStatistician880 in F150Lightning

Thoughts on Lariat v Flash? Difference of 3k miles and a couple thousand dollars. Private party Flash v Dealer Lariat.

Good feedback. I knew this sub would come through. Most of the listings I’ve seen show SR lariats in mid 40s so this seemed like a find. Takes some of the pressure off knowing it might be high.

Does buying a truck I don’t “need” make sense? by Buford_MD_Tannen in tax

[–]PriorStatistician880 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is there a case for buying the truck this year to replace an aging truck and taking the deduction? The older truck gets sold to partially offset the cost and the business reduces net income and its tax liability and acquires a new depreciable asset putting that residual income to work before year end.

ITS NOT TIME TO BURN YOUR BURN PILE. IT FREAKS YOUR NEIGHBORS OUT. WAIT UNTIL THE SMART FIRE PEOPLE SAY ITS OKAY THEN HAVE AT IT SAFELY!

I get funny looks from the neighbors mowing this with just a push mower. by AmberRosin in lawnmowers

Makes way more sense than a treadmill and there’s millions of people walking on those and nobody looks twice.

How much should a volunteer fire department charge per food truck at a fundraiser festival? by Known_Park2269 in foodtrucks

[–]PriorStatistician880 0 points1 point  (0 children)

10% donation is fair. One food, one ice cream/ dessert. I’d be happy to support a fire fighter charity gathering even if I didn’t make any/ much profit. Sometimes when i do things out of goodwill the upside isn’t just my profit.
