Well no kidding. I said if our batteries could take a continuous 400 kwh charge rate. I.e. they can not, I was using the 131 kwh battery as an example to show 400 kwh is fast enough, that the current batteries except a.cpuple of Chinese batteries are the real limit.

FWIW a steady 400.kwh charge is is.more than fast enough. The problem is current batteries (outside of certain Chinese batteries) can't maintain that rate. If our ER batteries could maintain 400 kwh for 80% or 105 kwh (dead to 80%), then that would work out to 15 minutes 45 seconds. Rare.was.a...

I'm in a 23 XLT SR, and my bluebook trade has bounced about $5K since last September.About half that since orange boy started the Iran War that he can't get out of.

Will be interested to seeing what's on offer, even though it's probably not for me.

Also be aware your home/office must have the available power. Many homes are provisioned with 100 AMPS,and that won't cut it for a.80 AMP charger. 200 AMP is a maybe depending on what else is installed and their potential power draw.

I would drive a Rivian, but new is too expensive, used might be an option, but the nearest service center is 200 miles away. Then there are many innovative things about the R1T, that just looks like $$$ to keep up. Lastly R1's have two 12V batteries that ARE NOT EASY TO CHANGE. Cost about...

I'll give them the benefit of doubt, as they are starting from Zero and launching hundreds to possibly a thousand or more sites at once. Not surprising a detail like that could be missed, as this is farrrr less critical than literally thousands of other items. Big positive is they are changing...

It has been for some time

As for the cables on the wrong side, they have publicly stat they will be switching those around in the coming months. Also adding credit card readers, which are already active at some locations.

Yeap, this is pretty much what I expected from Fords 10 year "commitment". Worth as much as the paper it was written on in my phone. I.e. there is no paper in my phone that I'm writing this on.....

Another reason not to want that vehicle. I'm not an Apple fan. Too restrictive.

Crashes???? I thought they looked for people that are isolated on at least 5 acres so as not to have witnesses of their abductions and probing.

Thanks Branden. Looks like I need to come up with a chilling method for my adaptor.

There is some truth to this, but it's also true that they deliberately make it increasingly harder to fix than it has to be, also holding back technical information on how things work, and how to fix them, teing parts together unnecessarily, in an effort to restrict options. In essence, creat a...

Would say it's worth doing a legal consultation, but there is probably a abitration clause where you get screwed. sounding increasingly like ESP is basically worthless, just free money for Ford.
