On the Kia Forum somebody posted a picture of their NACS adapter along with what looks like dealership instructions. Interestingly it does not look like any adapter that I have seen before and the box says “Made in Korea” so I guess that HMC is making them - which is a far sight better than...
I took the truck in for CSP 24B56 (Front park aid) and was told that the update has been pulled and they are waiting for a new one from Ford. Perhaps the update broke something? This is a bit annoying because it takes me several hours to get to the dealership from the island and this is...
I am not sure which update did this, probably the one that said it was making background changes to the display (which apparently - finally - gave me the battery percentage on the range ring).
I ride the ferries and it is absolutely necessary to be able to turn off the alarm system because the...
I got an inspector who had never seen a neutral switching transfer station before. He did not like the idea at all. I have installed the same thing In a different city with no problems but probably made the mistake of mentioning the EV. He called his supervisor and they are not sure what...
I have a 2023 Lightning Lariat Standard Range, which for the record we love. One issue has been that it has never (until recently, more on that later) shown that I have the full EPA range. I have owned EVs and other large battery banks for awhile, so I know about all of the disclaimers...
This is probably the first real bug I have had with my SR Lightning. Today, after coming back from a 1,500 mile trip from northern Washington to California I used the nav to get me to the Electrify America at a Target store in Renton, WA. As I approached the nav voice (correctly) said "Turn...
I don't see this on the forum, am I the only one? After getting the Tesla update, I no longer have the energy usage ("Where did my energy go?") screen. Although it was annoyingly vague I did use it to learn at what temperatures the truck has to heat the battery.
Has it moved somewhere...
I've been getting the "Pro power reserve reached" message frequently, despite not using Pro Power at all and attempting to turn it off. This started happening after I got the plug-and-charge update for Tesla. I have been on a long road trip with the truck and the behavior difference pre- and...
This has been mentioned before but it is so important I thought I'd call it out directly. Driving the Lightning is pretty easy if you pay attention and are sensible. Look at your miles/kWh * battery size * percent instead of the range meter ("guess-o-meter"), try to keep the truck between...
So I was just looking on plugshare for our fall hikes in the Cascades. My big dilemma between the standard or extended range was how to get up highway 20 in an fairly inefficient EV. It is about 150 miles from my house up steep "turn your air conditioner off or you will overheat" roads. I...
Well, the nightmare scenario that I imagined way back when we first started pushing software updates automatically has happened. Rivian did an over the air update with a bad security certificate and now the displays are bricked. This will apparently require a service center visit somehow...
