  1. My first Tesla supercharger experience.

    I had started to ask about the 90% but never finished the thought. Most of us stop at 80% when DC charging because the charge rate drops off a cliff at 80%. It will hold about 110-120 kW up to 80% and then drop quickly to around 50-60% and continue to taper down. @tommolog did a great video...
  2. My first Tesla supercharger experience.

    They are Alpitronic chargers. The new Ionna stations are using them too and they are solid. I shared one with a Hummer and he was getting over 200 kW and I was getting about 115 kW.

    They fixed the bug where the estimated time to complete a charge was just —:—
  4. Curious why some do not use 1 pedal driving.

    With 1 pedal you don’t need to touch the brakes. You’re basically on regen all the way down. As you push the accelerator the regen reduces and you speed up and then when you back off the pedal it slows you down.
  5. Curious why some do not use 1 pedal driving.

    Almost 50 years of muscle memory keeps me on 2 pedal. I also find it very difficult to ease into the garage on 1 pedal. In 2 pedal I can keep my foot on the brake while I slowly roll in and stop on the exact spot. I do use 1 pedal when I go to the mountains and I have a long descent.
  6. Living in The Lightning On The Road -- Almost a Year and Counting

    The proprietary end that plugs into the charger has a pin that is used to communicate the max current available with that plug. That is how the LIghtning version (with the yellow band on the cable) is set to 30A while the MachE version goes to 32A. It would be nice if the EVSE suppliers would...
  7. Living in The Lightning On The Road -- Almost a Year and Counting

    J1772 does allow for 16A charging on a 20A 120V circuit but Ford is very conservative so they only implemented the 12A standard.
  8. New Ford Charging Adaptor by TESLA Compared to Orginal

    A lot of stations have the magic docks but very few of them are enabled. The Elmira site is a V4 but only open to “NACS Partners” with their own adapters.
  9. NEMA L14-30P missing Flash

    Not an update, just a $500 payment.
  10. CSP 24B56 - Inoperative Front Parking Sensor(s) - IPMA Software Update for Certain 2022-24 F-150 Lightning Trucks

    Looks like 1.9 hours from the dealer bulletin. If they screw it up they can get up to 12 hours.
  11. I have an outbuilding with no power installed. Can I install this, and have a 'standalone' off grid solution with ProPower 230v outlet? Thanks!

    After thinking about it some more I have a question. Do you need 240V in the building? If not I would consider just putting a couple of these in the wall and wiring some outlets to them. The truck already provides GFCI and overcurrent protection so you don’t really need a panel. Just plug...
  12. I have an outbuilding with no power installed. Can I install this, and have a 'standalone' off grid solution with ProPower 230v outlet? Thanks!

    If there’s no power to the building now what will you ”transfer”. If you just want to power the building from the truck all you need is a small breaker panel connected to a generator inlet.
  13. Canopy Bed Security Cameras

    I didn’t word my post well. I know they bought them, I was just speculating about their reasons. I don’t think Ford wants to be in the accessory business so Canopy probably has some image processing technology that they are after.
  14. Canopy Bed Security Cameras

    It would make sense if Ford bought them for the software with a plan to eventually integrate the hardware into a new image processing module and use the hi mount camera.
  15. Canopy Bed Security Cameras

    Yeah, I was surprised that they didn’t make the connector a pass through. My main objection is the size of the camera and the fact that it has to mount to the sliding window. I have a tonneau cover and my truck spends most of its time in my garage so I’m not really concerned about monitoring the...
  16. Canopy Bed Security Cameras

    The part that mounts on the window is huge and is right in line with your rear view mirror. There is also a box that would fill the space under one rear seat and you have to leave it plugged into the OBD port all the time so you can’t have ABRP or CarScanner running. I’ll just let insurance...
  17. F150 Lightning FORScan thread - Version 2

    Are you saying that the ’24 XLT doesn’t have the 4 on the front and back or is it just missing the side ones?
  18. F150 Lightning FORScan thread - Version 2

    One thing I’ve noticed is that all Lightnings have 4 sensors on the front and rear bumpers but those with Bluecruise and parking assist have two additional sensors on the sides of the bumpers. Park assist may require those.
  19. Finally! A simple & effective solution to "locking" your Ford NACS adapter -- 3D Print Lock

    Yeah, I wasn’t paying attention when I grabbed it to make the video. I was just trying to show that the legs need to flex to get it out. Mine is only slightly harder to pull out from the correct side. I don’t think a resin printed part will flex enough and that’s the source of your problem.
