The flyer says 8 - 10 Pacific STANDARD Time. However, we are in Daylight Saving Time. Is that a typo?

The more you drive it, the better idea what it really will do. Pretty much all new EV drivers have some degree of range anxiety. That will subside with experience. I've now had my Lightning for a little over 3 months and put about 5700 miles on it so far including a 603 mile day trip mostly...

What is the firmware version of the FCSP? There was a previous firmware version that some people (including me) had that resulted in a charge current of about 3.5 amps. A firmware update a couple months ago fixed the problem.

Cram a pool noodle between the bed and cab just below the height of the top of the bed. That should not fly out and will flex enough to stay in contact with both sides as the gap changes.

Either the on dash or on big center screen select "This Trip". That will show the average since you turned the truck on. There is also Trip 1 and Trip 2 which are both since either of those was reset. In my case I have Trip 1 as never reset so the life of the vehicle, and I use trip 2 for...

Updated my iPhone, but Android version not yet available to me yet.

No. However for a 30 amp load, you SHOULD have a 40 amp breaker and wiring size to go along with that. Also note that since the NEMA 14-50 outlet that the mobile charge cord plugs into is a 50 amp outlet (and it is reasonable to assume that it really could be used for up to a 50 amp load), it...

Here's an update on my tire failure yesterday. Upon closer inspection, it was pretty obvious that something hit the sidewall causing the failure. Since it hit the sidewall, and I did not see anything in the lane ahead of me, the assumption is that something skittered across the roadway and my...

I have just over 5K miles on my factory Goodyear tires that all look damn near brand new. However the right front tire went BOOM on the freeway on the way to work this morning. Did not hit anything as far as I know. Sidewall split from the bead to the edge of the tread. No warning, just BOOM...

One of the specific reasons I did NOT want any trim higher than Flash. Way too many reports of people (not just Ford) having sunroofs leak.

Yes, that's about it. 30 amp charging rate at 240 volts is 7.2 KW. In reality, you may well not be getting 240 volts by the time it gets to the charger, and the current may be slightly less. So your 6.6 KW is about right. I keep a spreadsheet of my charging. I charged with 240 volts seven...

I have been to three Tesla SuperChargers that had pull through parking (out of the eight I have used so far). One was specifically labeled for pull through trailer charging (Barstow, Calif.).

The first stopper for me on the Silverado was the price tag. That was an instant stop, right there. I don't really like the exterior look of the Silverado EV either. I really wish they did not make it on a Avalanche body. As far as needing more than the Lightning range, it might be nice, but...

As I understand the original question, the intent is to use the Starlink IN the vehicle (maybe while under way).

I've had it happen a couple times. Power cycled the FCSP and all was well.

If you mean install the Starlink under the sunroof glass, you will likely find that does not work well. Most of the modern additions to glass that makes it block sunlight, also blocks Radio Frequencies. This is particularly true for reflectorized glass that is very commonly used in building...

Maybe A2Z realizes that they will only sell a very few of them since so few cars use CHAdeMO any more that the development cost can only be spread amongst a very few sales.

I have a 24 Flash so 48 amps max for me. I have a FCSP, but if I had known better, I would have gotten something else. The FCSP is massive overkill for me - I never expect to install the inverter system to feed my house, and I can't use the 80 amps. I wired and breakered it for 48 amp...

Not a Ford. And yes, it unlocks. Many people have reported the same issue.

Then it behaves different from some other vehicles where it will unlock the vehicle if the phone gets within Bluetooth range (around 30 feet). A friend found that he can't leave his phone on the nightstand on his side of the bed without it unlocking his car. Working at a mountaintop radio...
