It’s the ford one. Waited many months to get one.

Recently got the Tesla to ford charging adapter and used it on a trip. Worked well, started at 35 and was at 80 percent in the amount of time indicated by the ford app(30 min). Charged anywhere from about 120-170kw, drop off happened at 60 percent and again as I was disconnecting at 80. Charging...

What everyone else has said. Also, when you get your fcsp you’ll no longer care. If you’re going on a long trip rent a vehicle if you’re in a rush or have one that will go the distance. Easily the best choice for a truck, and outside of a lucid, one of the best ev options.

Purchased. They look spectacular. Price is fair too. QUOTE="Evlar77, post: 438317, member: 19415"] I have a 2024 Flash trim. Love the truck but was a little bummed about the cloth seats. While they are well made I have pets and a kiddo and it won't be long before they get stained (despite...

There’s a Tesla dealership locally and me personally, I can’t get my head around the cost. There’s also several like 20-30 collecting dust in the back. Is the CT better equipped? Maybe with the extended battery and tri-motor setup but I’ll take my 24 Flash all day, everyday.

USAA, been covered with no problems. They are a little higher than progressive so I’m looking at that too.

Clickbait…lame AF. I didn’t see anything of substance. The current lightning we all enjoy is better than a CT. The range is similar, although that’s my only real complaint, it looks like in almost every way the ICE version, and lastly (probably the most important right this minute) you shouldn’t...

Oh well, good thought I guess. No way to put one in neutral like you’d do for an automatic car wash?

I was thinking and I’m sure this has been posted somewhere on here, anyone figured out or are they working on being able to turn off one of the motors intermittently for extended range? Seems like it would be somewhere to look for increased efficiency without a great deal of cost. I’d expect...

Hard pass

Looks nice but too old man-ish for me at this point maybe in ten years…..?

Similar thinking happened with gas prices long ago. Then when demand went to almost nothing because of the recession it was like they couldn’t give it away. If you’re in a market that they (evs) don’t sell well you’re in a good spot. If you’re in one where it’s competitive then expect a markup...

If you want it, get it. Tariffs will be problematic, but the dealers are still in big trouble from COVID. You can squeeze them right now, especially the ones in smaller areas where a lightning doesn’t sell well.

Seems like a little fear mongering, maybe someone that didn’t read the bold not fine print of standard range. Pumping the stock of Tesla isn’t new, and frankly I’m not shocked as ford is the only real car maker that will hold up in the ev market thus far. I say real because rivian and Tesla...

Battery tech is getting much better. The need for something like this will be the exception rather than the norm. People ask if I like the lightning (obviously), but to carry the conversation I usually tell them that 99.9% of truck owners would benefit from as compared to their ICE. People...

Whenever this switches to hot or warmer weather I’ll be watching a little more intently. More because that is what I will be dealing with on a regular basis. Spoiler alert, so far rolling at 65-70 on the highway with any window(s) down or cracked is far worse for range than running the ac at...

I would’ve built a small camp fire if that was a sustained temperature I had to deal with lol. I said it earlier on in the thread, the heated motorcycle riding gear doesn’t do too bad if you don’t mind being ridiculous. Which I didn’t. We’re talking about what seems to be one end of the...

Sounds cool, but someone else basically said and I agree, the “magic pill” is quite elusive here. The massive headwind in the winter coupled with the already cold temp. Is likely more of a cause, just my experience having made a few long trips this winter in subzero temps. I mean plugging in a...

It took awhile for me, to the point that I kept my phone in the same place (work table) roughly 6-8 ft from the FCSP. It was painful, for about 30-45 min to keep restarting the process. My guess is that the WiFi receiver/antenna on the charging station isn’t the most expensive and/or the most...

I’m really not because I consider them linked. It’s easy to say you can now charge at a certain current level. That’s something that can be switched by changing computer code to allow it to happen, is there a hardware requirement? Yes, but how many times do you upgrade the software on your...
