  1. Double charged by both ford and tesla at tesla station Ford says basically "your loss"

    Actually you will need an adapter. A VERY TINY percentage of SuperChargers have the MagicDock. I have not seen one yet.
  2. Double charged by both ford and tesla at tesla station Ford says basically "your loss"

    Absolutely, the time shown on the Tesla receipt is the start time. I keep a Google Spreadsheet of all my charge sessions (103 so far). I just checked the charge times in the Tesla app and compared that to the start and end times from my spreadsheet for every single SuperCharger session. In...
  3. Double charged by both ford and tesla at tesla station Ford says basically "your loss"

    I have never seen a Tesla station charging 99 cents per KWH! Highest I have seen is 72 cents. And yes, assuming you have Plug and Charge set up and enabled in FordPass, you should only need to plug in the cable. Note that I found that I had to plug in my A2Z adapter into my truck first and...
  4. A couple of buying questions...

    I specifically wanted the 9.6 Pro Power. Will I use 240V? I don't know. In 7300 miles I have have used substantially more than 2.4KW quite a few times. Just last Friday at our fireworks show that I crew on, I had a compressed air system plugged into one phase in the bed and a crock pot and...
  5. FordPass 5.23.0 iOS & Android

    Android or iOS? I use Remote start climate very regularly and have not had an issue. I'm in camp Android. And 5.23 still not available for my Android...
  6. A couple of buying questions...

    I agree with getting the Extended Range. Even though most of your driving is short range, you will kick yourself later on when you find that you really want to do something that needs (or is FAR more comfortable) with the better range. Although most of my driving is back and forth to work (26...
  7. FordPass 5.23.0 iOS & Android

    Installed on my #$%^&* iPhone. Not available for my android yet.
  8. Finally got my plates

    Yea, I know the HOV lane access goes away at the end of September. However I am retiring on 3 October, so I will care far less! In my morning commute, the HOV lane only saves me 5 minutes or so, but in the afternoon it's at least 15 minutes and sometimes more than that. Even though I could...
  9. Finally got my plates

    Wow. Bought my Lightning on Feb. 24 and had the plates in less than 10 days. Then into an Auto Club office to trade those for my Amateur Radio plates that I took off my previous truck. Never even installed the ones they sent me. Then one more dealing with DMV to get my Clean Air Vehicle...
  10. Pics of Lightning Trucks Doing Truck Things. Post Yours! 📸

    I didn't take any pictures, but I crew on a professional fireworks crew. Of course last Friday we had a show. Besides carrying a bunch of stuff in the bed - tools, compressed air system, EZ-Up shade, chairs, this year I also was also able to supply 120V power to the table where lunch and...
  11. Looking for a charger I can contol my charging rate with

    Using my 2003 Dodge Ram 2500 4x4 that was replaced by my Lightning. I was spending 36 - 38 cents per mile for gas. In full disclosure, it was running mostly on 7 cylinders (very low compression on #5) so only getting about 10.8 mpg - and high California gas prices. I have a spreadsheet of...
  12. Audio source switches when shifting to reverse

    For all practical purposes, I never listen to streamed audio from my phone. I do listed to stuff on AM, FM, and XM and have never had a problem with it changing sources unexpectedly. The only odd one is sometimes when changing preset list stations using the button on the steering wheel, it...
  13. Chat GPT answer had me make a change that caused “pre collision system unavailable”

    @Jackdforme If you look at the previous post from bmxwhitetx, look at his signature. At the very bottom is a link to a long thread with a huge amount of info on tweeking our trucks with FORScan. Far better source of information that ChatGPT.

    I also changed my plan on my desert trip, but I knew about the change two days before the trip. I had planned on using the EA charger at Fenner (on I-40), but in my bad timing, EA took that station down to replace the chargers two days before my trip. The change was to drive into Needles to...
  15. Used my Lightning to power amateur radio field day

    Thanks for posting that. I am also a ham and have operated Field Day, but did not this year. I have also thought about powering a Field Day station from my Lightning.

    That sucks. When I was there a month or so ago, one stall was down and when I arrived there were two idle chargers. I charged from 34 - 90 % for 73 KWH in 44 minutes for an average of 99.55 W rate and it started a little over 180 KW. Of course it slowed way down at 80%. Yes, it would be VERY...
  17. Ford Charge Station Pro -- only 10KW

    I knew the 2024 was limited to 48 amps before I bought it. Ford gave me the credit instead of giving me the FCSP. Had I known better, I would not have bought the FCSP and gotten any one of the available EVSEs that are 48 amps. I have no intention of ever using the home integration.

    Just curious where the charging stops were. I'm guessing the EA in Baker was two of them.
