Does it stand between the main panel and a subpanel? I assume there is something standing between your gear and the home's main power feed that allows it to operate disconnected from the grid? Are the inverters handling that themselves? A lasting monument to incompetence 😂

Also looking forward to seeing thisthis! I don't use solar at all, and I have a very nice inlet setup for ProPower. But the seamless V2X would be amazing to get working.

With my 50% windshield tint, the ambient light sensor on the dash is being tricked into thinking it's darker outside than it really is. May not happen at all in the summer, but the low sun angle in the winter is making it go bonkers turning on and off. Is there a Forscan setting that will...

It took Ford 3 years to push a software update to show the battery percentage on the dash. So let that level set you expectations on Ford's software timing.

Of course first you need a HIS that actually works....

Literally why it is not a thing. Your church is not representative of normalcy. IDK why they did it but it's irrelevant to this topic. No they don't. Especially not on the 240v outlet. A GFCI 120v convenience receptacle is unrelated. And no, permanent installed generators don't either.

These scenarios are fantasies. Please go find me the GFCI on the transformer out on the utility pole or service entrance. IT DOES NOT EXIST. Protecting the entire service entry with GFCI is not something that exists. No home has that. No commercial building has that. There is no GFCI main...

Nothing you just said makes any sense. No part of this scenario places any human in any current path. No existing protection or safety is bypassed or changed. The ground-neutral bond is in the panel where it always was. Every existing circuit breaker still operates unchanged. Every existing...

The people claiming this is dangerous and deadly thusfar have not provided anything to substantiate that claim. It is not deadly. It is not dangerous. Because that requires you to install a sub-panel and move individual loads to it. IF that is practical, great. I would agree it is the most...

Well yeah but you get something for the additional cost compared to the HIS: a system that works!

There is something significant missing from your statistics and logic... Apparently you've never seen a vehicle of any kind catch fire. The EV "burning for hours" is irrelevant. Any vehicle catching on fire in a garage presents the exact same danger to the home occupants. The hours after...

Your annoyance is valid. However trust me you're better off. The Ford Home Integration System (HIS) doesn't work. It was a design failure from day one due to hardware flaws and software flaws on the Ford Charge Station Pro (FCSP) and the truck. Due to the hardware design flaws, it could not be...

I know the LVB is a perpetual annoyance for many people due to the moronic logic behind charging it. But this incident is not an LVB issue. That little LVB is not capable of rapidly incinerating the entire truck as we're seeing here. Based on the OP's description of the sound, timing, and the...

Finally got around to getting the truck tinted. I did 25% on all 4 side windows and the back. And 50% on the full windshield. Did not do the sunroof since I have a reflective sunshade up there already. I've done this to all my vehicles in the last decade. (Two wranglers and a Tesla). With the...

It's a shame such a national treasure went to another shift. Then Ana will come drag him out through the window 🤣
