I have not towed anything with my Flash yet, but I have found a use for Tow/Haul mode. One of my uses of a 4x4 truck is driving to mountaintop 2-way radio sites. Going up the mountains I almost always use off-road mode, but coming down I have found that Tow/Haul gives more aggressive braking...

I normally leave mine on Auto, but I agree it's not perfect. Frankly, I would be happy if you could just fully manually control it like we did for most of history...

Same thing here. I had a long weekend drive planned last weekend and bought a month of BC with rewards points. I did use it pretty extensively on my weekend drive and like Rick's experience, it worked better than what my 24 Flash came with (1.2 if I remember right). I will take advantage of...

One of the things I will mention here when using a NACS > CCS-1 adapter. Some people have reported that they must connect the adapter to the NACS cable and then plug it into the truck and some report exactly the opposite. From my own experience with my A2Z adapter, the first time I used it, I...

You can fix that in ForScan.

If all you are going to do is charge batteries, that is a valid statement. However if you are trying to power other devices, the inability of small conventional rotating generators to maintain stable voltage and frequency can be a very big problem. Think about this one (ham radio operators...

My three month trial after buying my truck ended in late May. My BC updated to BC 1.4 some while after the trial ended. For a trip last weekend I bought a month using rewards, so that is currently active. I have not received the offer shown above.

Off hand, based on what I see in my truck, you may have the audio playing (or at least the player running) on the phone. Phone audio always seems to pre-empt XM / AM / FM audio. Only way I have found to prevent that is to have Bluetooth turned off on the phone.

Time of Use rates here in California have changed due to the large increase in solar production. When I first installed my solar (and was forced onto a TOU rate) in 2018, Peak rate was (if I remember right) 1000 - 1600, Off Peak 0800 - 1000 and 1600 - 1800, and Super Off Peak was 1800 - 0800...

I'm not in shape for something like that. I really enjoy being a support person.

So far, I am using the Tesla subscription often enough that it mostly has not been an issue. But good advise for someone who generally does not need it.

I'm using a different heater that was referenced in various threads: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005Q1APZS?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1 That timer is really slick. With the heater I am using, one second on, and 220 seconds off. I had tested that starting in 1 minute intervals...

Welcome to the forum! Nice trip report. If you don't have a NACS (Tesla) to CCS-1 adapter, I highly that you get one. Being able to use the Tesla SuperChargers dramatically increases your charging options. And almost universally Tesla is less expensive than E.A. and WAY less expensive than...

It has been requested, but at least for the moment, the two options are to leave the truck on all night (turn climate control and stereo off, and set displays to calm screen), or to use a short interval timer and a load (which uses far less total power than leaving the tuck on). I sleep with a...

Your math is off. The Ford Mobile Charge Cord that comes with the Lightning will take 30 (not 32), so 30 x 240 V is 7.2KW - which is within the limit for your generator. If the MCC attempts to draw more than the generator can deliver, most likely the voltage will drop which will result in less...

That was largely not an option when I bought my Honda. The inverter generators are far better in pretty much all respects.

According to your forum profile, you are running a 2023 Lightning. How are you throttling it? That function was not added until MY 2025.

Good bet that would work.

Should be easy enough for an electrician to move it for you. There's no magic involved. I am qualified to do that level of electrical work and it would take me less than 1/2 hour to completely remove my FCSP and the conduit back to the breaker panel. Installation at a new location would...

Watts is the big limitation. When using the Ford Mobile Charge Cord, you are limited to 120 volts at 12 amps (1.4 KW) or 240 volts at 30 amps (7.2 KW). There are no other choices - unless you have 2025 which DOES let you set a lower charge current. So assuming you want to charge off a 240...
