The only way I can adjust the charge rate in the Ford pass app is if I go into the FCSP settings, but if you are using an autel unit How are you able to adjust the charge rate in the Ford pass app? I’m guessing that is something different with the newer models?? I have a 23 lariat.

The only time mine honks is if I leave it “running” and lock it, it does not honk with walk away lock it just sends a message to my phone in FordPass. I don’t use the 24 hour setting so I can’t compare notes there.

I generally understand how things work or can figure it out. I don’t care if people laugh with me or at me or don’t laugh at all. I have always been one to think outside of the box and it would seem you are as well. The thing about science is it’s mostly theory and when new information or a new...

Yeah, I understand that part of it as far as you you could not just run indefinitely because of the losses, but if you could recoup 25%, 50% or 75% (or even 10% )then that is just more range! My thought was just to add a “generator wheel” or something similar that could just recoup some of the...

I believe they said midsize trucks, which is Ford Ranger size not Maverick size. GM Canyon/Colorado Toyota Tacoma Nissan whatever Rivian Etc.

This was always hyped as a platform reveal, which is what it was. They never said anything about a product reveal.

Mine will kick on sometimes when I first plug it in, but it seems to cool down pretty quick and the fan shuts off. I know when I have DCFC’d it usually stays on most or all of the time, maybe when AC charging it is not necessary but I’m not sure. I see your battery temp bar is above mid range...

My trip was a year and a half ago and I know the charging infrastructure is much better now than it was then! I would recommend that you put in your destination into the navigation in the truck and see what it shows(be sure to adjust your chargers to the high-speed ones if that’s what you’re...

Yes That is why I said double!

I used the Ford navigation From Maryland to Texas with a stop near Atlanta(I purchased it in Maryland )and it worked fine! I mostly use CarPlay now, but I haven’t driven cross country again.-yet I have used ABRP for route planning, but have not used it in route (driving across our state is like...

Maybe you can double the discount on your insurance for the ability to track your vehicle!

Remove your frunk liner and look around! There is not a good way to keep critters out!

I know Ford did a deal with TXU here in Texas so you could get off peak or free charging.(I don’t remember now). I looked into it briefly about a year ago. I think the rate was like 16.7 cents per kilowatt hour, so it was not a good deal they just charge you a lot for your other electricity...

Quantumscape seems to be making (similar)significant progress as well!

WOW! That is a lot of solar! I actually have to de-rate my FCSP to about 40 amp because I have an 18 kW system and after the battery is full I only have about 9 kW during those hours if I am home.

I have often wonder what is possible with these trucks, but I have very limited knowledge of electricity! I always wondered if you could add an alternator or generator onto some type of wheel to generate electricity. I remember reading this many years ago and always remember strange things...

I would still check first! You would also need the proper trim on the door for the keypad, but should be doable!

What did your system cost and how often do you use it? I think that is the question that must be answered for somebody that camps once a year or less, why would you spend that kind of money for that small amount (1-3 miles)of range?

Are you planning on charging a fee for the ability to use them? DCFCs are expensive, but you’re able to get much more throughput than you would with an 80 amp plug!

I see what I believe to be a road and a building to the top left ”the white thing” Also would be nice to see more of the area around what is currently included in addition to what @SpaceEVDriver said.
