I'm on your side LOL. I 100% believe it works in the way you've been using it. But there may be exceptions - I'm pretty sure I've read some posts of people who've tried to use the FCSP with some other vehicle which "should have worked" after modifying some connector, but still failed. That's all...

I mean, they only said that they did it and it worked. That cannot be wrong if it worked. Inferring that it would therefore work for all PHEVs might be wrong. But the post didn't say that.

????? 8 months and counting, still not a single adapter shipped to Canada that we know of

It's kind of in between. It has pretty beefy subframes front and rear connected to a unibody. So it's not a full unibody but it's not body on frame either. I would trust it more than the Cybertruck. Some lower trims still offer CarPlay and Android Auto, at least for 2024. A friend here bought a...

You could plug in a portable dishwasher. https://www.amazon.com/s?k=countertop+dishwasher

Seems like something Lariat should have, but to be honest, CarPlay (or the Android Auto equivalent I assume) is a better solution, or at least more secure. Opening the garage door is just as easy, button on the screen instead of on the visor, but it only works if your phone is present and...

Do you want us to report duplicate comments if we see them?

True, but when the cable is carrying 100 times more power than a household extension cable, engineering and safety issues become a lot more significant. Probably need to pay attention to what the actual engineers are saying.

My Vgate vLinker MC+ is working fine

Were people really worried about the reliability? For myself, I was/am worried about the liability, not the reliability. With unapproved third party adapters, if anything goes wrong, you are responsible for any damage to the vehicle or charger. I haven't heard of any such damage, which is...

That's great if they are going to use a competent supplier going forward. Consensus is the original Lectron adapter wasn't as well built as the A2Z but they've had some time to iterate now. And hopefully can actually get a few built.

I'd rather have the large Lightning frunk and carry a couple of camp chairs in it, with space left over.

Maybe "close enough" for practical purposes, especially if you're not maxing out the payload or towing capacity, but if it's enough to invalidate an insurance claim then that would be pretty significant.

Are any doors locked? It only works if the truck is fully unlocked. XLT trim anyway

Pretty sure that wasn't a personal attack. It was just a statement of fact, that yes the technology exists to support a completely different signalling/communication protocol, but it would require additional hardware, software and engineering which might be better spent elsewhere. It's not just...

All I'm saying is, don't get your hopes up. Anything we do on the truck side is the equivalent of asking "are we there yet?" Until the mother ship decides your truck is eligible for an update, you will not receive an update.

Mine has always had a "Check for Updates" button on the Software Updates screen. (Haven't checked for its existence in the last few days though, to be honest.) However it never did actually check for updates. It retrieved information about the most recent completed update. From what I could see...

Flash is a 2024 trim, and all 2024s sold through retail channels charge at 48 amps max. Any old info floating around that talks about charging at 80 amps refers only to 22-23 models (maybe only with the ER battery? not sure about that part) or to fleet ordered 2024 Pro models with a specific...

They did say they were already towing with their other EV, so I think they know what to watch out for. I agree if towing long distances is the *primary* use case then maybe the Lightning isn't the best choice, but if it's occasional, and mostly in good weather like typical camping uses, it'd be...

Anyway, the answer to the actual question is no. Nobody here has the in-depth knowledge of the high voltage control hardware and software to change the battery configuration safely. It's not a trivial thing to do. Look at the issues Tesla is having with their Cybertruck range extender. And they...
