Removing a chunk of plastic that is preventing an adapter from being used on a poorly designed plug is I suppose a “hack.” I would call it an engineering correction. 😊

My brother in law has a model x and I just plugged in like I would my truck and it charged like normal. No alterations to the software as far as I know. If Teslas can use a J1772 to Nacs without software changes then this notched adapter works the same way. The DC pins of the CCS plug don’t come...

I know you said that you didn’t want any hacks but this isn’t really a hack. I just purchased a Tesla brand J1772 to NACS adapter and notched the bottom so it would fit my FCSP CCS plug. It only takes a couple of minutes with a dremel tool. Works like a charm and doesn’t reduce the integrity of...

What PITA, sorry to hear that friend.

Same, 2023 XLT XR, 26k miles. Never had to touch presets.

Seriously? You have got to be kidding me. If the engine fell out of an ice vehicle and you could still push it down hill is it “broken down?” The vehicle is broken either temporarily or permanently and the owner was for all purposes stranded. He was luckily able to limp a mile or so back to the...

I also have a phev and it is way more trouble than it is worth. I get a small bump in efficiency but I still have to monitor how long the gas has been in the tank and realistically now have all of the problems of an ICE vehicle and all the problems of an EV. Double the trouble. It just makes...

That makes sense for the occasional trip or for someone who uses a trailer and needs to drive 500 miles between trips but I have a 28kW inverter generator and it takes up most of my lightnings bed and is crazy loud. Surely it could be a bit more compact but this isn’t really practical. And a...

Lol, everything is definitely subjective. I Love the frunk and use it daily but as a decades long truck user no way I would sacrifice the truck bed before the frunk. I can put stuff in a box but I can’t load furniture or mulch/gravel in the frunk. 🤣

I wish I had a bigger garage! Looks great

The motors aren’t going to do much with the power off. You are putting a lot of hope into the parking pawl. Just set the parking brake and save yourself some potential headache/repair costs. The truck will auto release the brake when you press the accelerator if it is too much work for you to do...

Very nice! I keep waffling on a battery set up since the truck is a great generator and our power rarely goes out. Just grid tied for now. I would love to be able to use the truck to activate my array(micro inverters) if the power goes out when the sun is shining but I can’t justify the cost for...

What is your hardware setup?

I have 22k on my 23XLT and no noises at all. The truck is miles above my 2013 xl 5.0. The caveat of course is the software is trash and slow as my old 386/33 but you already knew that ?

The rotary shifter is far higher quality. Almost completely without any sound so no clunks and wiggles like the stick shifter and you get your entire workspace whenever you want. I got two just in case it crapped out, but I don’t think it ever will. You can get a 3-D printed enclosure for like...
