It will be interesting to see how popular this truck is compared to the Lightning and other RAM options. It should appeal to the towing demographic. It will definitely appeal to the people who think they are in the towing demographic.?
It doesn't appeal to me. It weighs more than the Lightning...
Google Maps has this functionality. When you set a destination it gives you what it thinks are the best charger options. If you want to change a selected charger you click on the charger and choose to replace it. It shows chargers in the area which you can select to see how many are available...
The truck is too heavy for any real performance driving. You could probably shave some time off the quarter mile by removing weight. The doors, seats, running boards, tailgate, rear bumper, and frunk would shave hundreds of pounds. Shoot, the whole bed would come off without too much trouble. It...
Does your MachE have a sunroof? In cold weather I find it chilly almost all the time if I have the shade off the sunroof in my truck. The radiant cooling is noticeable.
You are looking at the wrong side of the ledger. If you are an unpatriotic tax cheat, it is much more efficient to not have revenuers poking around your business.
I edited my original post. My thoughts on grounding were wrong.
If there is a bonding screw on your sub panel you should remove it. When on truck power the only path to ground should be through the truck. If neutral and ground are touching in the sub panel the truck GFCI will trip.
Do you have...
For a round trip, a 20mph tail wind makes 70mph into 50mph. Problem solved, right? Nope! Drag increases at the square of airspeed which means the difference in drag between 50mph and 70mph is much less than 70mph and 90mph. In practical terms just know that a headwind hurts a lot more than a...
(131kWh+39kWh)×1.5m/kWh=255 mile range.
If I'm reading your original post correctly, round trip is 254 miles. You'd need to get at least 1.6m/kWh to arrive home with 10%. This would work most of the time. If it were me I'd need to have a good backup plan for when it doesn't work. Strong winds...
Are all the circuits connected to the transfer switch isolated to a single sub panel? The simplest way to think about the Lightning's GFCI is if neutral touches ground (earth) ANYWHERE it will trip. This is why a neutral switching sub panel is required to make it work without pulling the ground...
I have a chip in my line of sight. Every time I drive I say a silent prayer, hoping, wishing this will be the day fate finally cracks my windshield so I don't have to suffer the agony of the chip any longer. Alas, my prayers were answered for @BeerNuts.
It should have been me, it should have...
Yeah, that's how it goes most of the time. People don't tend to go on the internet to talk what goes right with vehicles. Thanks for posting something positive!
Will you expand on this? Tesla?
I found it easy enough to replace charging stops and Google Maps seems to know what chargers are installed but again, you have to do it in Sync. I've been pretty conservative in case a charger was broken, I'd hate to get routed to something that couldn't possibly...
Good technique, I do the same thing. Nothing more annoying than getting lined up perfectly then having the truck shift.
To set the parking brake pull the parking brake lever. To release the parking brake, press the brake and press the parking brake lever at the same time. Alternatively, you...
