I believe you. It's just @Texas Dan that doesn't seem to.

Drive one to a SuperCharger with an adapter and report back.

Last test I saw, no CCS vehicles other than Ford and Rivian would charge, even using the Tesla app. Remember: this is not the case on Superchargers with MagicDocks. They will work with most other CCS vehicles.

It'll be a race to see if the Ford adapter comes before Kia gets authorized to charge on Superchargers.

Did you set up a trailer profile and use it while towing? If not, you were distorting the range calculations for driving without a trailer.

Koons Ford/Mazda in Silver Spring has always done well for me. They have been careful and made sure both my Mach E (bought Feb. '21) and my Lightning (bought July '22) were repaired properly. Communication had been just OK but improved recently. They now offer pickup and drop-off service...

Both Tesla and Ford say v4 superchargers are compatible with NACS. In fact, many of them don't need the NACS adapter as many of the v4 installations to date have MagicDocks.

In some cases the problem lies with Tesla not properly setting the v3 supercharger up for non-Teslas.

It's simple. Most charging time is L2 charging. That would mean your DC pins would be exposed to the elements the whole time you are L2 charging. Most CCS-equipped automakers have some sort of cover for the DC pins. Ford's is actually one of the easiest to use.

Yes, that was Methorian who I know from the Mach E forum. It sounds like that station isn't working right for NACS yet. Did you check PlugShare? I see you didn't report your failure on Plugshare.

Motor Trend does list a slight difference in front/rear gearing (https://www.motortrend.com/news/ford-f-150-lightning-2023-truck-of-the-year/): AXLE RATIO, F/R 9.72:1/9.61:1

Yes, there are definitely issues of Chinese government support for industries. However, the important thing is that the Chinese auto companies are working much harder on EVs and will eat our lunch if we don't get moving. See this thread and other articles on the amazing progress of Chinese car...

Lots of Mach E owners complain regularly about Ford's OTA process. Lightnings are just slower to receive the updates.

Placing huge tariffs on Chinese cars is a clear sign the US automakers are way behind the 8 ball, know it, and are scared. If US automakers don't start making better, cheaper EVs they will be left behind.

There is a transmission oil filter on the drive units that probably get changed with the 150,000 mile fluid change.
