I wonder if there's something wrong with your truck. Are you towing a heavy trailer going down a steep hill? It should be able to hold the set speed using regen, which is the only equivalent of "engine braking" that is available.
Anyway if you step on the brake pedal (or lift the accelerator in...
I believe when you are "braking" with either one pedal or regular, you're still using regen as much as possible. If the hill is too steep then it will start to use the friction brakes but it does already use regen as much as possible in all situations.
Why doesn't cruise control work for you...
I sympathize. Different things are the "straw that broke the camel's back" for different people. Ford's software update process is definitely a cluster****. For me it's more the fact that they promised and do not deliver, than the actual missing features.
But while we're complaining about...
I'm under the impression that the limit is due to them only including the dual onboard chargers in a handful of Pro ER models sold to fleet customers. It's not a requirement to use the Ford Charge Station Pro. Just none of the 2024 retail models at any trim level have the 80A capable hardware in...
Had mine for half of last winter. No problems with snow here, though I didn't try to push the limits. With the heavy weight, smooth application of torque, dual motors, and e-locker in the back, it just goes.
And in their relentless effort to dumb down all user interfaces everywhere, they don't show critical information like the time of last update. If they're going to show you old info at least they could tell you it's old info.
Always two pedal. I want my braking reflexes intact.
If I ever get stuck in stop & go traffic I will give one pedal another try. But until then, no thanks.
Specs wise that looks good. Not sure if that was available when I was shopping early this year or I might have grabbed it. Ended up with Fast wheels (Storm II) with a little less offset, also from PMC. Bit higher weight rating though those Replika ones do meet the 2400 lb requirement.
PMC is...
No issues with Rain-X here so far either. I did flush a few times with distilled water before switching.
Side note: I cannot believe that in 2024 we still have vehicles that don't quite hold a full jug of washer fluid when the low fluid light comes on. There is like half a cup left over in the...
On my 23 XLT the "sensor" is just a sticker. So you don't move them to new trailers; you just add a new sticker to each trailer. They should be in a booklet in your glove box. Mine came with 3 stickers. I'm sure you could make or buy more pretty easily. The computer does the heavy lifting by...
There is no setting on the truck. Yes it normally goes as high as the EVSE says it will go. To see more detail you'd have to use an OBD dongle. Using that you can get more specific info about what voltage and current is available.
The post you were replying to was talking about a J1772 extension, not a 120 volt extension. So the warning is correct. If you plug into an 80 amp EVSE using a J1772 extension that's only rated for 40 amps, it's going to get spicy.
From what I've read (still waiting for adapter of course... ?) it's the correct sequence thing.
You don't need to disable plug & charge if you activate the charger from the Tesla app before plugging in.
The delay has been delayed.
I just got my email too. Had to double check; still saying September. I think there's a pretty good chance flood gates will open this month, given what Tesla said about their production numbers for adapters.
If it is the "East Mayo" one then yes it is listed on their website as open to non Teslas.
I would take a wild guess that there's some issue with the latch mechanism on the NACS side of the adapter, but that's not based on any real life knowledge or experience ?
I wonder if all this discussion of dual boot partitions is relevant to the Ford system where it's not just one monolithic computer being updated. It's a whole collection of independent modules.
Each independent module could have its own dual boot fully redundant setup, and you'd still have...
As others have said, the 30 amp is only 120 volts and the Lightning will only use 12 amps of it. So it's really really not a good option for charging.
Best setup is to use the 14-50 to charge the Lightning, at 30-40 amps depending what EVSE you use, then run the RV from the 30 amp outlet in the...
