  1. My home electric bill has basically doubled in the past 4 months! WTF is going on?

    Don't look at dollars (yet), look at consumption. Has your consumption changed a lot? If the consumption (from your bill) has not changed unexpectedly, then look at the rates - has your electric rate changed? Have you been changed to a Time of Use rate, or to a different TOU rate? If you are...
  2. May need to get rid of my F150L

    Reduction In Forces. Often the formal name for layoffs.
  3. EA: Where have you been?

    I received the same E-Mail two hours ago. I have only used E.A. once (in Baker, CA where the Tesla SC is Tesla only) back in May. I answered that I don't normally use DCFC around home and normally use Tesla because of better availability and usually less expensive.
  4. Telo vs F150 Lightning size comparison

    That and almost no crumple zone in front. I have been involved in a collision where one of the other vehicles involved had a good 4 - 5 feet gone (totally crumpled) from the initial collision.
  5. Walk Away Lock is Rolling Out to 2022-2023 F-150 Lightning

    Personally I don't want the truck locking or unlocking automatically. I want positive control that I did it when I want to. Normally I lock the truck from the inside door button right after opening the door. The only time I don't is if I will need to get something out of the back seat, so I...
  6. May need to get rid of my F150L

    I am getting a good understanding of the loss (or reduction) of income - I'm retiring in 9 days and income will go down a bit, so having to look carefully at spending. The only suggestion on the job front is don't forget about local governments. They all have IT people. Often the pay is not...
  7. Charging with Lincoln/Ford home charger?

    24 amps with a 30 amp breaker is exactly right.
  8. Would you tow this?

    Very true. Same thing with amount of weight in the bed. Something very local is very different than a long trip. For example in my previous truck (2003 Dodge Ram 2500 4x4 crew cab), max load was about 2,900 pounds (including driver, fuel, other stuff in the truck - 500 pounds or so total)...
  9. 80A Charging Cable Under Garage Door

    Get the right kind of snake and it will take care of the mice :)
  10. 80A Charging Cable Under Garage Door

    Keep in mind that if the door is open enough for the FCSP cable to not be pinched, it will easily be open enough to allow mice into the garage unless you come up with a spacer to block that.
  11. 80A Charging Cable Under Garage Door

    I would assume the Time of Use electric rate goes up.
  12. First time using ABRP, some issues

    I'm curious what you are using that does NOT tell you that a SuperCharger is not open to other vehicles? FordPass will show all Tesla SC locations, but will show a Tesla only location as "Incompatible charger". PlugShare will list a SC as Tesla Only or Open to Non-Tesla. The Tesla app...
  13. Is anyone getting more miles per charge? I had it for 3 years and it seems im getting more as it it gets older?

    That is what I do. In my truck, Trip 1 was reset at 17 miles (about 10 miles before I took delivery). I leave there so I can see lifetime. In my just over 10K miles I have an average of 2.3 Mile/KWH. Trip two I use for trips - so far just long day trips, but I will have several multi-day...
  14. Intended use for slotted space on front console?

    I have a ball point pen and a ChapStick in that slot.
  15. Phone As A Key VERY Unreliable!

    I wear cargo pants with 7 LARGE pockets. There is stuff in all of them. Carrying the fob is no big deal. Hardly even notice it.
  16. Phone As A Key VERY Unreliable!

    With a Flash I don't have PaaK, but I really don't understand the advantage. I walk up to the truck, grab the door handle and it unlocks almost instantly. Other than trying the keypad once to verify that it worked, never used that either.
  17. Auto Headlights Kicking Into Manual intermittently and Causing Me to Brightlight Oncoming Vehicles

    I use high beams almost any time I can. However I find that Auto high beams on ANY modern vehicle is far too lax on dimming the high beams. Yes, vehicle code here in California states 500 feet, but with modern headlights, that is FAR too close. I only use manual control. Never tried the...
