  1. How do you charge a Lightning with a Gen2, 80amp, Tesla dumb wall charger?

    My chargers are from 2018 and 2024. Both connect via WiFi.
  2. How do you charge a Lightning with a Gen2, 80amp, Tesla dumb wall charger?

    I have two Tesla 80 amp chargers. You have to go into the settings using the setup app. Change the settings to allow all EV’s from Just Teslas. The A2Z adapters work fine I have no issues with mine.
  3. tesla adapter

    My wife and I each use the A2Z adapters for our Tesla wall chargers and I use the A2Z super charger adapter for over a year now. Both are high quality and never had an issue.
  4. Charging Question

    i use the Tesla wall charger. You need to get a special adapter from A2Z to use it. It costs around $100 and I have had no issues at all.
  5. Tesla home charging and and Level 1 problems

    I charge at home using a Tesla charger. You need a special AC charging adapter to charge at home. I use an A to Z adapter. Another issue you may have is if the owner of the charger has a time set that the charger turns on. Mine was set to charge from 2:00 am to 8:00 am so anyone trying to charge...
  6. Late to the EV Truck game which one to get?

    I'm extremely happy with my 2023 Lariat LR! I have the 100 amp internal charger. My truck has been updated multiple times over the air and I love it. The charging speed has increased with updates over the years. This is the sweet spot in my eyes where they still have the higher levels of...
  7. New tire recommendation for 23 Lightning Lariat - Range and Noise higher priority

    I just replaced my General Grabber tires with Hankook Ion HT's. The ride is comparable. Wet weather traction is better. The noise is slightly higher but barely noticeable. I'm assuming this is because of the tire being new with no wear. I am seeing better efficiency compared to my Generals...
  8. I took the bait and switched to Hankook Ion HT tires

    I am averaging .4 miles per kilowatt better than my General Grabbers. Ride quality it’s awesome. I care about wet weather traction here in Georgia and it is awesome. Price came in at $232 a tire which is significantly cheaper than the Michelins I was cross shopping. I have about 100 miles on...
  9. I took the bait and switched to Hankook Ion HT tires

    I made the switch. My 23 Lariat ER was needing tires at 35,000 miles due to a tire puncture so I made the switch. I was planning on going with the Michelin Defender LTX tires but I figured I try these new Hankook's after watching Kyle Connor's infomercial on Out of Spec and reading about them...
  10. Can I make it? Advice needed/appreciated.

    I ignore the guess o meter! I look at State of charge. If it’s 21 miles away on the interstate at interstate speeds I need about 8%. If it’s at around town speeds I need 4-5% for my ER lariat the way I drive. So at 18% no issues. If you have a mobile charger use it if your worried.
  11. Seeking Mach E info, considering buying one

    Both my kids have Premium ER Mach E’s. One Awd and one Rwd both are real nice cruisers the charging is slow but the 0-80 on a supercharger is about the same as our ER Lariat.
  12. What’s your next BEV Pickup?

    I love my Lightning Lariat. That being said, I love the tech and ride of my wife's Rivian R1S. I am leaning towards an R1T if they ever get self driving. As for the bed size There isn't much difference. I have the retractable aluminum bedcover so my bed size is about the same as the Rivian. I...
  13. Anyone using Tesla Mobile Connector ? (the charger / EVSE)

    I have two Tesla wall chargers at home my Lightning has no issues. My Rivian first goes red on the initial handshake then cycles to blue. It’s the waking up of the vehicle that is the fault. No need to imply and plug back in.
  14. Will You be buying the Lightning EREV?

    I’m never going back to any type of ICE vehicle. I’ll probably buy an Denali EV or another Rivian.
  15. Important Update: Ford EV Roadmap & Future of F-150 Lightning (EREV Next Gen Model) - ⛔️ ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS

    Well I guess I’m buying the Sierra Denali EV next. I’m done with gas and never going back! I love my lightning. The range is tolerable but I really like GM’s charging speed.
