I'm not concerned at all. Ford has simply right-sized for the market. The EV boom wasn't as big or as long as all of us (including Ford) was planning this round. It will take a few more years for this to ramp up and Ford is positioned to do this. It has been and will continue to be...

You may also want to check the connections at the breaker to be sure. A loose connection will heat up the breaker so if it gets hot after 20-30 minutes, you will want to make sure the connections are tight. Warm is normal since there are 48 amps going through it. In your case however, it does...

I also recommend against lubricating these high-current contact pins. It can impede the electrical connection and do more damage. It can also cause more dust to be collected on the J1772 gun which then transfers to the truck even though the truck pins are covered when not charging. They...

Mostly Solar on Net Metering. If my solar doesn't quite make it, I have $0.028 CAD rate 11pm-7am overnight (like 2 cents USD). When I was a teen (a few years ago), the cheapest I ever filled my Honda Civic was $0.18/litre CAD ($0.502 USD/gallon). It is now less expensive for energy per...

I also have had the SE and currently have the HD. Even if you could get the bolts out (really challenging with the Nylocks), there are 1/2" bars of steel on both sides holding the lids in place. While not impossible, it would be quite a time-consuming chore to break into the Diamonbacks.

We get some pretty good winds here coming off the lakes but not as consistently strong as you'll see in Hatteras. The bright side: The tailwind home is good. ICE suffers a similar reduction in range (percentage-wise) with headwinds. Their range is higher on ICE so it is far less noticeable...

Many have said this in multiple threads but here goes. It would be nice to get the free adapter for convenience. Those that need it have options that work like A2Z although technically not allowed on the Tesla network. If you truly need it, the price of the 3rd party adapter is not a factor...

You'll also get that symbol when you have a trailer connected since the Blind Spot system can't account for the extra length.

I've had several cases where the EVSE wasn't doing what it was supposed to do using the J1772 protocol communications resulting in an overcurrent. Unplugging and replugging the EVSE cleared it. This happened quite a few times and then I sent the EVSE back. My current EVSE works perfectly.

If you have two working keyfobs, you can program a third with a dance sequence. I don't think you can program a key using this port without two working keys without taking it to a dealer.

This is abnormal. Has your truck been updating over the air? Initially, my early 2023 had issues that seemed to be resolved by OTA updates and the CSP for the BMS. Your LVB should charge from your HVB if it gets too low, so your LVB should not die. I did have to replace my LVB under...

Longer trips usually involve higher speeds which means lower efficiency. I would fully expect your trip to be shy of a GOM estimate.

Yeouch! That can get some folks into trouble if they use it that way. That would need a 10 gauge extension cord.

Hard to tell from a picture but could it be water damage? It looks rust-coloured.

I suppose it depends on your freezers, but I would expect it to have very little impact unless it was extremely hot out. I ran two refrigerators, a freezer, a 49" TV, my computer, Internet and made coffee and lunch on a toaster oven for 8 hours and it only used 3% on my ER, so your rate of...

Ouch. Mine was an early build of 2023 MY (late 2022) so mine was built just before that happened. So far so good ;-)

Just out of curiosity, what is the story behind this pic? It looks like someone doused them and set them on fire.

You can draw 30amps from each outlet pair but I think you can only draw 20 from any individual outlet plug.

Agreed it would help slightly but I've driven trucks my whole life and the Lightning corners the best of any of the stockers I've owned. I find the float most noticeable on the Lightning when hitting a bump or dip in the road. A decent shock upgrade would dampen that along with damping the...

I was running a Grizzl-E Duo that would go into fault mode when the power grid glitched. Our power company was working in the area and switched things about for a few weeks as they worked through it causing brief sub-second power switches on the grid. The Grizzl-E required a power cycle to...
