Is this the 80A version of the adapter? The lower rated ones are not safe to use with our trucks and the Gen1 or Gen2 Tesla wall chargers, which will supply 80A.

Can confirm the 80A TeslaTap adapter fits too tightly. Care is required to not damage the port on the car. From my interactions with their support I am not sure how helpful they would be if you did, either... Wr have some much larger, bulkier QC brand 80A adapters which fit better that we...

The app. The app the app the absolute garbage app. I would have ordered a Mach E by now in addition to the truck if it weren't for the dumpster fire of an app.

I have seen no indication of this with the 18" wheels and snows I have on my Lariat ER right now...

I would assume, from a fair bit of painful experience with similar systems, that their PAAK implementation relies on high precision timing and other low-layer profiling information to defeat relay attacks and other forms of tampering that involve additional devices. This is not standard...

How were you planning to connect the F150 to a residential electrical system without "an exterior outlet and feed from that outlet to the system"?

The cheap option is a Generac 6852, which is a manual transfer switch designed for use with inverter generators which bond ground to neutral, as the F150 does. The 6852 documentation technically requires the generator to be independently grounded to a rod, and gives a code reference. I believe...

I understand how typical North American split-phase electrical service works. What does this have to do with a ground fault interrupter "generating" anything?

What do you mean when you say "GFCI generated legs"?

Has this been reported to NHTSA? If you do, you should be sure to note both the extreme volume level (similar to that used by law enforcement sonic crowd-control systems which are intended to disable their targets - in other words, it poses a real risk of loss of control of the truck) and the...

I just thought it might be helpful to note here, since I recently saw them used quite successfully, that another option would be the Thermolec DCC series load management devices, which will work with any charger and simply shut down power to the EVSE if load on the panel reaches 80% of its...

Again, the only Ford wheels that will bolt up to a Lightning and are rated for the weight are the actual Lightning wheels and the 18" HDPP wheels. Are the other wheels stronger than their ratings? Probably. Is it unlikely you'll routinely load the truck heavily enough that it matters? Also for...

Be aware that of all OEM wheels for other F150 models, only the 18" HDPP wheels are rated for the much higher weight of the Lightning. There are a number of aftermarket options though.

Tesla cars can speak CCS over the proprietary "NACS" connector, in addition to the proprietary Tesla CAN-based protocol, and vehicle-to-grid is (an optional) part of the CCS standard - it uses the same DC power pins and the same Ethernet-over-power signaling - so I don't see any particular...

When upgrading from a sedan to a F150L the question naturally arises: "what you gonna do with all that jonk inside your tronk?" The fronk is the answer.

I saw this too. It is the cabin heater - it seems to turn back on based on interior and exterior temps every time *any* climate control change is made. I stubbornly revisited that too-obscure screen and turned "e-heat" off repeatedly while driving 150 miles at about 65MPH last weekend and hit...

If the 12V battery is entirely disconnected, will the vehicle actually charge?

Worse in terms of someone sending him a carefully selected, out of context code paragraph that they could not possibly have thought actually applied. Just hoping he did not actually read the code book I suppose. See this more when the code officials are old enough they still can't get it...

Actually it is even worse than that. The text of R327.12 makes it incredibly clear that no matter how you read 327.1, the capacity restrictions of 327.5 that they quoted against you do not apply to vehicles: [NY]R327.12 Electric vehicle use. The temporary use of an owner or occupant's electric...

I believe they are misreading the code. Or, actually, almost deceptively quoting it. Here is the preamble to R327, which exempts vehicles from 327.2 thru 327.11. [NY]R327.1General. Energy storage systems installed in buildings or structures that are subject to the provisions of this code...
