I'm using the Vgate vLinker MC+. Works fine with my iPhone so far. I leave it plugged in

I'd expect about 1% an hour or maybe a little less. I'm sure you will love driving it... charging, I'm not quite as sure lol. You did say you had 240 in the shop, just inconvenient to get to? Maybe that can be your fallback plan if you really need a better charge rate some time.

Yes, "Normal" mode. I've never even tried Sport ? and have only used off road a few times in sticky spots. The 1.02 kW is the "current" value; after stopping, the heater, accessories etc. are drawing 1 kW from the battery. You can see the regen from 45-65 kW earlier in the graph. I went up the...

Here's a screenshot from CarScanner. It's a typical stop from 70 km/h to zero in two pedal drive where the brake coach says 100% energy returned. Note the brake pressure is zero until right at the end. Literally zero. The friction brakes are not used, at all, until almost at a complete stop...

One pedal driving has no effect on efficiency for the Lightning. It has blended braking. Unless you are standing on the brakes (making uncomfortably abrupt stops) you will get full regen in either mode.

It should correct when you take it out. The Guess-O-Meter (it's called that for a reason) estimates range based on previous driving conditions. It can't accurately predict the future. As you noted, you can go into the towing menu and make sure it doesn't think you have a trailer attached. You...

Yes you will need a different EVSE that can be adjusted to 24 amps. The Ford mobile one isn't very good anyway so this is a blessing in disguise.

I don't have a lot of experience. My one data point is one location at Lake Louise, AB where I couldn't charge and is not in the app. But I don't see any destination chargers at all in my Tesla app at the moment. A quick Google shows some stories about them being added recently, but nothing...

I wish all Canadian trucks had them. My 23 XLT does not. I also wish the Mongoose cable wasn't so stupidly expensive.

It's been said by @RickLightning already but I'll say it again for emphasis. There is a setting inside the destination charger that can be set to "Tesla only". If that is set, then you can't charge there with a cheap adapter. I am under the impression that the "not cheap" adapter from TeslaTap...

An inverter generator would be nicer, but I have an el cheapo open frame generator (Firman T07573) that charges the truck OK. The power is "dirty" I guess; the charge will not start unless another load is also connected to smooth out the waveform. But once charging I can disconnect the extra...

Tesla map shows four sites in Mojave, two that are open to NACS and two that are not. Best to use the Tesla app to find eligible stations I would think.

Then you would be guaranteed to have to unhook your trailer at all charge stations that aren't pull-through, which is most of them. There are pros and cons to everything.

Why pretend? Find a nice charging spot with good amenities and stop for 15 or 20 minutes. For me anyway I found travelling that way to be much more relaxing than having to micro manage. I don't know if spending the entire drive fretting about range and whether you're driving slowly enough to...

With permanent connections torqued to a specification, yes. But not with connectors that the end user can plug and unplug at will. We have hundreds-of-amps capable connectors for 12 volts, for example winches, but 400+ volts is a whole other ball game. I kind of agree this whole idea probably...

You can paste &keyName=chargeradapterstatus at the end of the URL once you are on the Connected Services page. Then bookmark it

A very good question. In the context of this thread, people are talking about *battery* preconditioning, which is heating or cooling the battery so it can accept a higher rate of charge right from the get go when you hook it up to the charger. The word is also used for *cabin* preconditioning...

Bought from PG Ford but probably should have shopped around more. I park outside for now... haven't gotten around to clearing out the garage enough, and it would be a tight fit anyway. Realistically it'll probably stay outside lol. I would add that in the much more typical -10 to -20...

I live in PG. The good thing about McBride is whichever way you are coming from, there's a "plan B" available - there is emergency "fast" charging (25 kW) at Slim Creek, and a proper 100 kW in Valemount. 260 km would be touch and go in -40. Maybe if you drove really slowly. *but* I would not...

I wanted to, but kind of got screwed over by the tire place that said they had them in stock but then ooops it turns out we don't. After I had already ordered the wheels from somewhere else. Could have saved the mounting & balancing fee if I had bought the tires & wheels at one place. Anyway...
