Unfortunately I live in a state / county where it is almost impossible for a private citizen to carry a weapon.

Here's the reason that you really don't want to do that - personal safety. You find yourself in a bad situation where escape is the best remedy. You get to your truck and yank open the door - and by the way unlock every other door so the bad guy can get right in via another door. So much for...

Absolutely! When I looked yesterday, most of the ones I listed were 72 cents / KWH - OUCH!! So a last resort only. Also true. When I spend a week driving the Owens valley in early October, I will re-up my Tesla membership for the month. I have plotted every DCFC along the bike ride course...

For those planning on driving US Hwy 395 in California, every Rivian DCFC location I checked is now open to non-Rivian vehicles. When I checked as recently as a week or so ago they were all showing Rivian only on Plug Share. After seeing that new information, I installed the Rivian app on my...

Same here a couple months ago. Needles, CA to Barstow, CA. Used 70% of my ER battery to get 138 miles. Strong quartering headwind most of the way and cruise control at 77 most of the way. Once I knew I was going to have to stop in Barstow, I made no effort to slow down as it was getting late...

Just another opinion. In a few days I will be six months into my 2024 ER Lightning Flash. I just hit 9K miles so doing just over 1500 miles per month or 18K (or a little over per year). For my daily commute, the SR would be no issue at all as it is 52 miles round trip. Like you, in the...

And if you un-select Ultra Fast Only, the screen for that area becomes so cluttered that you can hardly see the map... Obviously does not help if you NEED fast charging. Level 2 charging is almost always less expensive than DCFC, and at least around here, a lot of shopping centers have free L2...

In theory, I should have them in my FCSP or the box. I doubt I would have tossed them. Not sure I remember where I put the box, but I'll take a look later. If nothing else I should be able to take a picture.

Only an issue if you are planning on feeding power from the truck to your house. If you are only going to charge your truck, those are not needed.

My understanding from comments on this forum is that you can buy the warranty from Granger if you can come up with an out of state address. I have not verified that, but may down the road. I have addresses I can arrange to use in several other states. Don't have details... BTW, I also read...

Personally I have had three pickups and always put a cab high (or higher) shell on it. For my Lightning, the shell is in manufacturing currently. I would not even consider a tonneau cover. Not enough space and you can't practically get into it with the cover closed (think raining or snowing)...

Sure not the case here in SoCal. The only time I have use a DCFC other than a Tesla SuperCharger was Baker, Calif. where the 96 stall SuperCharger is Tesla only, and I had to use the 12 stall Electrify America station next door. However, be that as it may, I agree that adapters will be in...

Yes, the longer cables on the V4 SuperChargers is really nice.

Cool report. You made a very good point about Tesla and the number of stalls vs most of the other guys. The largest EA station I have used was 10 stalls (1 not working). Most are smaller with 4 being common. On the other hand, the smallest Tesla SuperCharger I have ever used was 12 stall...

I seldom use the vehicle navigation, but it has done that for months. I'm in camp Android.

Sometimes you have little or no choice on number of bends. In the case of my main to sub-panel, there are five condulets and three 90 degree bends and one 45 degree bend. When I had the new concrete poured for my driveway (a good 15 years ago), I knew the plan was to put a sub panel in the...

My opinion here. Although it may cost more, use conduit and THHN wire rather than Romex. Makes it FAR easier to make some change down the road. Also whatever size you NEED of conduit, put in at least one size larger - especially since your conduit run is moderately long. If there will be...

Always or always when the truck is turned on? Big difference between the two.

I shoot professional fireworks on the side. I would agree with that statement!

I would drop it off at the dealer - AFTER putting a few bullet holes in it.
