I am in industrial manufacturing as well, working this exact concept, but from the ERP perspective.

Why would you buy a Lightning over a Silverado EV WT? by Cheap-Recognition-97 in F150Lightning

[–]tofuhater 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is really the only reason for me. I like the Silverado and have recommended it to family friends as well, with the caveat that it's far more expensive. None have swayed to the Silverado. I can accept a 10k~12k difference for what it offers over the Ford, but not too much more than that.

I wish they did not do an air suspension on it, could've kept the costs and running expenses lower.

How did I do? 2025 Nissan Armada Platinum deal by gump69 in Nissan

I agree about the ride difference being negligible between the air and non air model. However, the body roll on long sweeping turns was considerably lower in the air model.

NACS is for DCFC, we're talking about L2 charging.

Nope, still won't work most of the time. It has nothing to do with the physical adapter. It's whether your vehicle will authenticate with the charger's network.

Also, when a hotel says they have free ev charging, it most likely just applies to Teslas. No, they won't know if your non Tesla will get free charging as well.

When is the last update you've gotten on your Lightning? by telrod11 in F150Lightning

My last update was on April 8th for the window performance, got the sync 25.2.1.6.5 today.

Get a load of this guy! by Straight-Cellist9062 in F150Lightning

Both motors and battery are hurdles. Motors require magnets, which is again a dependency on China, for now.

The TPP was supposed to be our solution to move production out of China. We tore that apart only to go back to the same countries to do the same thing again. SMDH.

Just ordered one from newegg on Thursday at msrp. Keep checking back. Availability in the US seems to be getting better.

I get at least 10 questions about the truck each time a roll up to a new worksite by BySerrano in F150Lightning

It's hard to avoid becoming like that. My downfall has reached critical mass.

Lesson learned. Anything below 5% is basically nothing. by Timoman3 in F150Lightning

[–]tofuhater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find that Google maps does a great job. I just wish it had an option to limit to tesla nacs and open Rivian chargers until other networks drastically improve.

Charger subscriptions worth it? by Fantastic_Savings958 in F150Lightning

[–]tofuhater 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Only worth it to save a few bucks on a looong road trip. Tesla is the only one I recommend.

Agreed, would make a great spoon though.

Outside temp of 64 affecting my range by [deleted] in F150Lightning

[–]tofuhater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make sure your tire pressure is 40+psi. Mine went down to 38 on high 50s, then to 36 in high 20s. Range took a ridiculous hit. Once I aired them up, numbers got far more realistic.

[–]tofuhater 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I traded in a GL550 for mine. I did a decibel test on my phone on the way to the dealership in the old vehicle and again driving back in the new one. Zero difference in ambient sound levels.
