Mine is a 2023 and I wish it was possible to get it to stay off. OTOH my AC stays on just fine. I really wish they could figure out software to match their hardware prowess.

Yes, but every time I shut the car off it turns back on. I’d like it permanently disabled. I’m very willing to waste some power to make the cabin more comfortable especially when I have kids and/or dogs in the back.

I really, really wish someone would figure out how to disable driver-focused heat/AC in Forscan. It’s amazingly irritating.

You are my hero!!! That worked. Immediately when I toggled that option it showed up. Even after toggling it back off it stayed there, which is super awesome.

Ugh, this is intriguing and frustrating to me. I strongly prefer google maps to apple maps to the point I bought a pixel to test it as a phone I could just leave in the truck but having two phones just didn’t work for me. Just tested mine and it is still not working. I even tried wired carplay...

I've been seeing the same of late but when I step on the pedal I can't say I feel power lacking. It serves mostly to remind me to try to not hammer so much on the accelerator if I don't want to stop to charge. Great writeup! One question: why not let the truck cold soak then charge first thing...

I think it’s easy for us to forget how revolutionary it’s been that nowadays our phones, computers, etc. get better after we have bought them through software updates. Cars are getting that way but that is a seismic shift. Eventually the manufacturers will realize that it is a good thing and...

I think I ended up needing to disconnect the negative lead on the battery to reset everything.

I have blue cruise and was able to mount it low enough to not interfere. I preferred it on the passenger side vent but the dog kept bumping it off.

It’s my favorite mount. I use their spring loaded one and it holds the phone very securely even off road yet super easy to pop in and out of the holder.

Sold!

That sounds like a decent price for such a capable system. It will be interesting to see if you have any stretches over the winter and into spring rainy season that you can’t keep up with demand but seems like so far you are using utility power very little. Very cool.

Very cool. Are you willing to share total investment on the system? I wonder if you’d be better off charging the truck when home batteries are lower than 99% as you can still treat the truck as another battery in an emergency (or run of cloudy days) and it might reduce duty cycle on the home...

Mine is a mixed bag. Sometimes it reverts back to 12 hour and I need to change it and sometimes it changes back to 24 hour on its own. I have no idea what’s making it change. I just had a thought that maybe it has to do with profile whether I am using phone as key or the physical key. Will need...

Spot on. I love my lightning and thought very hard about the GMC for better range and faster charging. Ultimately, I prefer the lightning in every way over the GMC except for the range and charging advantage that GMC has. And honestly, I could happily live with current range if the charging...
