If someone finds the frunk speaker let me know, i’ll be out in the driveway with wirecutters in about 7 seconds.

Good result. Not surprising with a 60% city/40% highway test. Oddly, they came up with the exact efficiency that I use as my baseline efficiency in ABRP, 454 Wh/mi.

Well, dang. I didn't even know the truck had rain sensing wipers! :LOL:

How much was the 14-50 delivering to the Lightning? It sounds like the Tesla was eating up most of the power output at 7kW. Or did it just pull 7kW until it was full then the Lightning got all of the power?

I like the way you guys think! ?

Was there any type of weather affecting the range? Rain? Wind? Temperature? Elevation gain? Even loaded down I'd expect well over 2.0-2.1 at 65mph travel speed.

That would be great, too. I usually have checked their app to see which station I want to pull up at. Then you get there and the stations don't have a number that's readable from a distance. It would be incredibly easy to add this. We should all carry some 4" black vinyl numbers in our...

I just want to know why they chose Chicopee as their inaugural station. Why not a nice place instead? :LOL:

That's a good idea. They're going to have to do something. The average person doesn't understand EV charging stuff at all. Right now it's all up to the consumer to figure it out.

I bet they kept them similar colors to prevent people who don't know better always grabbing the 350kW, whether they need one or not. Everyone on this forum is pretty knowledgeable about the difference but I suspect the great majority of EV drivers have no clue about the difference between...

Yes, they’re the same type of vehicle.

Same segment, for sure. The Equinox will be a cheaper, less capable compact SUV but it’s still a compact SUV.

I’ll leave now! See you this weekend! Have a beer ready! ?

Mine seems to be between 2.3 and 2.4 depending on what percentage of hwy driving I'm doing. Last 500 miles, or so, have been 2.4. The previous 2000 were heavy on highway miles and it was at 2.3. It's been good weather so there's probably been minimal battery conditioning and HVAC. Us cold...

When you’re in 2-pedal the brake pedal just acts as regen “paddle” unless you are going really hard on your brake pedal. The physical brakes are rarely activated in typical driving. It actually probably gives you better control of the regen than in 1-pedal but i doubt there’s much difference...

I’d be surprised if this wasn’t a regulatory requirement if the regen slows the car beyond a certain rate. Pretty much any current EV will have regen equivalent to moderate braking in an ICE vehicle.

I agree, people are using knowledge about “safe” DCFCing from previous EVs and expecting more from the Lightning without considering that the charging equipment can’t handle it. But the reality is that it was never going to be much better than it already is on 400V. Rivian is trying to coax...

I know this is an old thread but after having the truck for a bit and DC fast charging quite a lot (due to several longer trips) I think this whole discussion is over pretty much nothing. Sure, I'd love 800V architecture and 300kW charging but in todays EV world this is more of a technical spec...

That looks great, I may have to do that mod on my SQM truck.

Interesting that he started at such a low SOC, the truck was only reading 48 miles of range at the beginning of the test.
