Going on a 1,100 mile trip soon (round trip) and it will mostly be freeway miles.
1. How much better is 68 mph than 70mph? I know it will help with range, but how much? (I'm here in Cali and it'll be 40 - 65Âş on the drive).
2. Is 2 pedal driving better than 1 pedal driving if Bluecruise is...
I’m looking for a solution too. Currently I use two old washer detergent bottled filled with hot water from home. The colder the weather is the less warm my after surf shower is.
This is one of the first things I noticed the second day of ownership. It doesn't' personally bother me to much because I love the truck, but the quality of workmanship on this, the limp center console that can't stay up/open, and the threads/padding/extra carpeting sticking out from feet area...
Tell me about it! My first f150 over 20 years ago I lifted and got BFG off road tires. It completely ruined the ride to a brand new truck. Now I know better. Don’t mess with what the designers and engineers are paid to do.
1) The 5 freeway charging is fine for the amount of vehicles on the road. As EV ownership expands, they are going to have to ramp up availability. Hence why home charing is so important for all of us. I haven't tried a trip up the coast yet, so it sounds like your experience was based on that...
I love almost everything about my Lightning. Changes/updates would include:
1) Agree with all the comments about being able to record the cameras as we drive and when we are parked. Give us a 48 hour record option and an easy way to access the video through our screen and iPhones.
2) I love...
I can't imagine drilling holes in my dash and having wires and this look destroy the beauty of the dash. But, to each their own, right?
I figured CarPlay (Android Auto) would make this option moot?
I added a sub-panel with a 60A breaker, so the electrician set the Ford CSP at rating 5 which is 48A. It charges pretty darn fast and I am happy with how it all works seamlessly (so far).
Personally, I love the 15" screen. Love it. I also agree that more personalized selections could be programmed on it. Some thoughts:
- Split screen view, similar to an iPad (and let us choose what is split)
- Watch cameras as we drive, and have them record. One way to do it is to have it sync...
Yeah, I am waiting to hear back from him, but I might just be okay with how it is, especially if everything is done right (it works well) and it is going to last.
Is this a problem? (see explanation and photos below)
My CSP was installed yesterday and it works great and looks great. It's a 60 amp breaker with 48 (#5) setting. I have charged it twice and it feels sturdy and fits the wall.
The electrician didn't use the base (I think it is called the base...
I had the connection issue, move my truck close to the CSP, restarted the CSP, then started the process over again and it worked. I think the trick is to make sure the truck is near the CSP. Don’t know why.
