  1. Ideas for soft encouragement of 85% charge.

    I just think EA needs to only allow the free charging plans for the manufacturers that have them, to only be up to 80% free, then any charging above that level is full price. Every time I see someone hogging a station to 100%, it's a free session. If they only made 0-80% free, then the...
  2. Is mine the only state that punishes folks for buying an EV?

    Right, it seems to add up to a reasonable amount, but not sure about the $50 added on to the second year of it...but, I'd like to see them switch to this for everyone and eliminate the gas tax entirely. The whining about it will be epic. There's always some joker with a weird situation that...
  3. Is mine the only state that punishes folks for buying an EV?

    I already pay 200 for my reg in PA because it's a truck, guess it's gonna be 400 now.
  4. Mildew/Musty/Moisture Smell Upon Fan/AC turning On

    Model 3's have this issue as well but it was much worse. I used kool-it to clean its insides. With my truck, I always turn off the AC a couple minutes from home, or I let it run in my garage while unloading, with the AC button toggled off.
  5. Update: F-150 Lightning Fast Charging Tesla Adapters Start Shipping TODAY Per Ford!

    Just for comparison, ordered the Lectron last sunday, it shipped monday morning, and was delivered on friday same week.
  6. TPMS saved me, plus a bonus rant

    Is it possible to access the valve stem on the spare without dropping it?
  7. Finally! A simple & effective solution to "locking" your Ford NACS adapter -- 3D Print Lock

    100% agree with you there. As for the adapter, I wish they had just left a little opening for a locking pin. I have a slow charging adapter that has a hole through the unlock mechanism, and I found a small combination lock that works with it. Would it stop someone determined? -no. But if...
  8. Update: F-150 Lightning Fast Charging Tesla Adapters Start Shipping TODAY Per Ford!

    Tried out my lectron today, at 53% it started off at 160kw and tapered down, didn't precondition or anything. I plugged the adapter in first, so when I got the Tesla plug and hooked it up, it really felt just like supercharging my model 3.
  9. Update: F-150 Lightning Fast Charging Tesla Adapters Start Shipping TODAY Per Ford!

    I did find a teardown online that showed it is just a button and two wires. Even so, Lectron's steps are reversed from A2Z's instructions...it doesn't seem to matter if the switch closing/opening happens while the car is present vs not.
  10. Update: F-150 Lightning Fast Charging Tesla Adapters Start Shipping TODAY Per Ford!

    I don't believe there are any smarts in these things at all. If there were, then the unsupported 3rd party adapters probably wouldn't work at all.
  11. Let’s All Try Not to Be ‘That Guy.’

    Hopefully in the future all 'topping off' will be by level 2 charging all over the place while people sleep.
  12. CD player?

    Totally get it. Just FYI though, windows media player has a setting that will auto rip any CD you put in your drive in your computer. You can set it for file type and bitrate, and basically just put a CD in, wait till its done, swap it out for the next one. Besides all the thousands of...
  13. How do we access "Tesla Destination Chargers" and Tesla "Station Not Compatible" (according to Ford Pass)?

    For every post I saw about that, it seemed there were others chiming in saying charging at 100 degrees with theirs was fine, so who knows? If I ever need to use it in very hot weather I will do the wet towel trick like I used to with my model 3 at superchargers. I think it's going to be fine.
  14. How do we access "Tesla Destination Chargers" and Tesla "Station Not Compatible" (according to Ford Pass)?

    In case anyone wants Lectron instead, I ordered the Lectron Vortex for 180 with code stateofcharge. I already have a lectron level 2 charger adapter that I have used a bunch of times. I figure the only negatives anyone has mentioned were that it was snug. I have a J1772->tesla adapter I keep...
  15. Update: F-150 Lightning Fast Charging Tesla Adapters Start Shipping TODAY Per Ford!

    I know we are all gonna get them from Ford now ASAP because I just ordered a Lectron Vortex :ROFLMAO:
  16. CD player?

    There are a lot of apps that will work with android auto that don't require a home server or an active internet connection, just have the mp3's on your phone storage. I use AIMP, and I can load up music by folder or by artist name. As for OP, I totally understand owning physical media, but...
  17. CD player?

    The funny thing is all that device is likely doing is ripping the CD to internal memory and mounting itself as a USB stick to Sync.
  18. Fluid leaking by front passenger tire

    Yep, if you see clear liquid it is almost always condensation. The fluid in the cooling system is neon yellow, and the lubricant in the motors is blood red.
  19. Update: F-150 Lightning Fast Charging Tesla Adapters Start Shipping TODAY Per Ford!

    I think if there's no new shipments right around september 1st I am just going to order the Lectron. I have a trip midmonth that I basically HAVE to have it for.
  20. Cybertruck vs Lightning

    I was surprised how small it is when I passed one on foot last week, and on the road again on monday. Combine that with the tiny frunk I don't really see why you'd choose it over any other truck on the market, even if you disregard price.
