That charger should charge anything with a CCS plug. The 2nd question is a really good one. Hardware-wise, it should theoretically be able to do the same with any vehicle; The question is whether or not they lock that feature down through software or not.

I won't hold my breath for that one.. They will supposedly open them up 3rd quarter of 2022, but only in Norway.

I am getting the lightning for both personal and business use. Personally, I may take 2 trips/year.. but for my work I occasionally need to travel throughout the southeast. There is no place that I need to go that does not have fast chargers on the way to or near the destination. I'm looking...

In theory, the charge curve should be different with the Extended range.. in that configuration, there are two batteries, each with their own charger vs a single charger with the standard range. Of course all of this is just speculation until they actually build them and release the info on...

ah.. gotcha.

actually, using the above math, going from 10% to 80% for the extended battery at $.31/kwh would be $33.64 (since you would be adding 70% of the total, which would be 108.5kwh)

Does anyone know if the Lightning will come with Fog lights? Fog is definitely a thing where I am, and I haven't seen any obvious fog lights in any of the pictures.

If the footage was being uploaded someplace outside of my control, I would be right there with you! I don't want someone else being able to look at my footage without my knowledge. If it's stored locally in the vehicle on a memory card, I can use it when needed, or if I don't want to record I...

having built-in video footage would be invaluable on any job site or for an accident on the road. I know several officers who absolutely love being able to look at the footage and easily determine fault whenever a tesla is involved in an accident. The system already processes the video...

From what I understand, using the 1 pedal driving, regenerative breaking on the downhill will help immensly with recovering some of the lost range from the uphill part.

Does anyone know if Ford is planning to let us use all those wonderful cameras that the lightning has to record with (ala Tesla-Cam)? It would be a wonderful feature to have multidirectional dashcam recordings from those cameras in case of an incident.

Musk is nothing if not a business genius.. opening his charging network to all EVs should allow him to get a chunk of that new EV infrastructure bill. ;-) All he really needs to do is unlock the tesla-only handshake restriction on his chargers. Plus, he'll be able to market his own Tesla to...

I'm in the same boat. looking into options on extending the front of the garage.

There's a huge interior bump. cloth seats vs vinyl, better dash/trim, carpet, etc.

Lariat for me plus ext battery and tax tow package.

My understanding is that the 80A charger is optional with the Standard range battery, but comes with the Extended range battery by default.

Ahh.. so, technically, it might work, but wouldn't actually make a functional difference due to the size of the battery. That makes sense. Thanks! It was a fun thought anyway..;-)

I'm wondering if it's possible to mount a 400w solar panel to a camper shell and use it to charge the Lightning a little while driving/sitting to extend the range a bit. Granted, using the panel to fully charge would take forever, but it should help *some* right?

Does anyone know the difference between the Tow Technology package and the Maximum Trailer tow package?

I've always been a fan of white trucks. Plus, if you get a camper shell, you don't have to have it color matched.:cool:
