But... Driving more faster is more funner and more faster? 😜

EV's are definitely a tough sell in rural areas. On my recent road trip I had 2 passengers in the Lightning and it was both of their first EV experience. All 3 of us are similar politically, and until I test drove my Mach-e a year ago, I never thought I'd be in an EV either. After one year of...

This absolutely shows the value in slowing down. I had my cruise set to 80 mph for all of the charger to charger sections on I-90 and I-94, except for where the speed limit dropped through the passes, construction zones, and a few of the larger cities/towns. My overall avg on the trip meter is...

2.3 MPK is crazy good for this time of year! I got 1.8 MPK avg on a recent 3300 mile road trip, but that was through ID, MT, and ND where the speed limit is 80 MPH. What types of road were you traveling (interstate?) and what would you guess for avg speed? Thanks for sharing your adventures.

Reading this thread about your success of owning a SR Lightning in Montana gave me the encouragement I needed to take my new ER Lightning on a 3300 mile round trip from Washington through ID, MT, to North Dakota...and back. All of the Tesla charging on I-90 and I-94 made it possible. Thank you...

More options is always a good thing. I especially like the (mostly) "made in USA" aspect of the TeslaTap, according to their webpage. If I didn't already have an A2Z, I would look further into the TeslaTap. I agree with others that my A2Z has been super reliable. I did 19 charges on a 3300...

Found this for Sync 3, but it is the same icon set. Shows that icon meaning "Wifi in range". Nothing to worry about.

I think that's an "i", not an "!".

I can't answer specifically to the Platinum, but I got these for my ICE F350 a few years ago for possible mountain pass chain requirements. Sometimes if it's bad enough, they require chains even with 4wd/AWD. They fit my Lightning Pro tires, but check for your Platinum sized tires. These are...

It's going to make your truck better over time.

Maybe they are doing a blowout sale on all of the old stale electrons so they can get a shipment of new fresh ones?

Is that picture of the updates the new look of the FDRS software version?

Did you make sure that Tesla stop is "NACS (with adapter)" capable? Use the "Public charging" app on your Lightning screen to check if you are at a compatible charger, or to navigate you to the nearest charger. There are settings in all of the apps (Plugshare, Google, Tesla, ABRP, etc...) that...

I use ABRP paid version with an OBD connection. I used ABRP to plan and route on my Lightning Pro (small screen) for a recent 3300 mile road trip. It's well worth the $50/yr to me to be able to pre-plan a route and save it, then use that route to navigate in Android Auto. I checked reliability...

I did a trip from WA to ND and back last month. Return trip from ND to WA was below freezing through ND, MT, and ID, but maybe 20 was the lowest temp I had. The Tesla chargers are spaced just about perfectly for the Lightning ER on I-90 and I-94. I know you are coming from the East instead of...

What year is your rental Lightning? I am near Port Angeles, so similar climate and driving conditions as your home conditions. I traded my MME (resistance only heating) for a 2024 Lightning. The Lightning actually shows that it has a heart pump and a resistive heater if you look up the PIDs...

Probably always good to make a backup... I backup my original (aka as-built) settings and then backup all changes with file names of what I enabled or disabled. Easy enough to do, and then gives you the ability to change everything on or off, or at the very least, to see what your settings were...

When you say "communicate", I think that has more to do with having a quality OBD adapter that is recommend by ForScan and a working laptop. I have a 2024 Pro. ForScan communicated through my adapter and allowed me to make some changes to modules, but it wouldn't write my changes to the IPMA...

I went from a Mach-e to a Pro outfitted like option 1. I miss the heated steering wheel and the automatic (traffic sensing) cruise control from the Mach-e. Both of those are available on the Flash. I like the smaller screen and knobs better in the Pro. The Mach-e had the big screen and that...
