My free Order #124,424 just showed up unannounced today. It's the Lectron adapter. Ordered at Lightning purchase in 2d week of July.
it's longer and much more substantive than the original early 2024 Ford - Tesla Supercharger adapter... all-metal main casing.
These pix might give You ideas. My FCSP is outside on the driveway, on a North-facing wall.
The awning is a 24-inch galvanized steel basement window well from Lowe's, painted to blend with the bricks of the wall. It's secured with standard L shaped brackets. It is wide and deep enough to...
Weatherman, the next time I'll visit Sonny Boy in Louisville I'll ping You about this. I have a perpetual FORScan license and am fairly handy with it (through four Ford cars in the family and several friends' cars).
It might be two months away though... maybe You'll resolve it by then.
Separately from the traction battery discussion above, I have the 312A Option 2023 XLT and I am very happy with it, other than the lack (so far ;)) of power folding mirrors. IMHO the 2023 XLT ER 312A has about the perfect mix of features.
Member XENOILPHOBE and I have turned it on in his truck. The sound really is appreciably better. He was still trying to get the visual screen "color wheel" control to work the last time we had touched base. He's got the Platinum with 18 or so speakers.
I drove my Mach E for 75,001 miles before I traded it in for the Lightning. The traction HV battery seemed as good as new on trade-in although my driving did blow the front motor, twice... hence the trade for the Lightning.
AFAIK today's traction batteries with their battery management...
I wonder if the low Winter morning temperatures have hardened the plastic or made it more brittle. Is Your FCPS in an open or unheated space? I ask because my FCSP lives on the outside wall of my 1939 driveway (no garage)...
My curiosity also asks why did You open Your FCSP after it was...
For those with a garage, the best trick I've ever seen / read about is the ol' water bucket with a wire from edge to edge and a soda can or plastic water bottle or a similar round cylinder placed on a horizontal axis in the center of the wire, smeared with peanut butter.
The rat smells the...
After Sonny Boy had a damaging invasion of mice into his Ford Fusion (them Kentucky mice are a tough crowd!) we both invested in this device, available at Amazon:

Nice!
Over on the Mach E Forum, there was for a while a rich discussion on the various available & recommended flavors and sizes and speeds for the USB sticks, and which ones were better than others and which ones were inadequate... then someone reported using a portable SSD and that pretty...
With the now-gone Mach E and continuing with the Lightning, I carry around an old (REALLY old haha) Snap-On torque wrench precisely to torque wheel lug nuts to their high torque during wheel changes including after road mishaps. Carrying this old Snap-On torque wrench also allows me to check...
Resurrecting this older thread for one specific FCPS multi-car amperage auto-adaptation capability question...
Background: I've had my FCSP connected for a month now. It works very well with my EV-only Time-of-Use electric submeter and my 2023 XLT ER truck.
Background #2: this Ford EVSE was...
I helped another member here with turning on the glare-free headlights, and just as a side lark we played with turning on his Beosonic digital equalizer afterwards. We could instantly hear the difference in his truck.
I note that his truck is the Platinum trim, the one with the most speakers...
