  1. Running the Battery to 0%

    Ford shipped exactly that adapter with early Lightnings. I got one - you didn't? Mine is bright yellow and was in the lower compartment of the frunk at delivery.
  2. I got it 🙌 [A2Z adapter], have you?

    If you have a Tesla membership account, at $12.99/mo, you pay the same per kWh price as Tesla drivers. This price varies by time of day at many (all?) locations. Unless you charge at peak hours, it seems to be between a little cheaper and a lot cheaper than other networks around here. For...
  3. My First Tesla Charge Using A2ZEV NACS Adapter

    You won't get your Tesla discount if you use FordPass to initiate charging. The only way to get the discount is to use the Tesla app to start the charger.
  4. Lightning Extreme Cold Weather Highway Performance?

    I see similar efficiency in the winter in northern NY and New England. Our temperatures aren't as extreme for as long but it's mountainous. There are more options for snow tires if you go with 18" wheels. Only the 18" wheels from the Pro, or the "64H" wheels from the heavy-duty payload...
  5. I got it 🙌 [A2Z adapter], have you?

    That doesn't sound right. Are you sure the lock isn't partially engaged or something? None of my A2Z adapters (two AC adapters and the DC adapter) have this problem.
  6. Used my A2Z adapter for the first time

    Haven't had any trouble locking mine but that's probably because the lock works just like the one on the A2Z AC charging adapter and I've had a month or so to get used to that one. It becomes automatic to just push the lock into place with a thumb after plugging the adapter onto the charge...
  7. A2Z NACS adaptor review by State of Charge

    Wow. Are you guys also in some other related business? That kind of test equipment is not cheap. I still remember, about 20 years ago, working with one of my colleagues who was a mechanical engineer to see if we could actually build the apparatus for one of the vibration tests required to...
  8. Suggestion That Tesla's FSD Technology Will Be Next Thing Elon Rents Out to Other Auto OEMs

    They always say the next release, the one that's about to ship, will be just great. I remember this starting when they shipped an Autopilot V1 update that was literally vomit-inducing because of its steering behavior. Elon tweeting that the next release, the one he already had running on his...
  9. Fingerprints on headlight projectors

    They won't have trouble realigning the headlights. This seems like the kind of quality control issue @Ford Motor Company should care about, but which you may have some trouble getting a dealership to handle....
  10. A2Z NACS adaptor review by State of Charge

    For what it's worth I don't know how the TeslaTap Mini could be any better sealed up and in freeze-thaw conditions, water eventually got pushed in and shorted its bypass circuit. There's garbage like the Hansshow adapter, which leaks and falls apart for sure, and that's just different, but in...
  11. Question about ground wire for Ford Charge station pro

    I hate pulling solid and stranded bundled together. It doesn't matter where and how you tape them to each other, the solid will twist around the stranded at some bend, or the exit from a pull box (worse) and you'll be yanking the wires back and forth and back and forth for an eternity before...
  12. A2Z EV Responses

    They are amazing. I ordered two AC charging adapters and they got one in stock and shipped it immediately in a box that looked like it could have held 2 - but showed 2 shipped in the notification email. I sent them a grumpy email message assuming they'd shorted me on my order, which really...
  13. Ford EV Software and Customer Service Woes

    If you select those two options (Supercharger network and the Tesla plugs) it will show you all Supercharger locations, whether they will actually charge your F-150 or not - or at least that seems to be the behavior of the app for me. Is it doing something different for you?
  14. Ford EV Software and Customer Service Woes

    How do I get Plugshare to filter for Supercharger locations that are open to non-Tesla vehicles? It should really have this as a new connector type. It doesn't. Selecting "Tesla Connector" as a supported connector in the advanced settings comes close, but either includes V1/V2/Urban SCs or...
  15. Charge Station Pro - AC wire gauge to truck?

    Almost certainly. The cable from charge station to truck is certified by UL as a complete assembly and is not subject to NEC wire gauge rules. It's also probably not made of a type of wire you could easily buy, and some of these assemblies even use tricks like using electrical insulation with...
  16. Magic Dock Road trip

    What tires/wheels do you have on the truck, and are they inflated to at least the recommended pressures on the door sticker? With my Lariat ER, I get the rated 2.4miles/kWh if all of the following are true: I have the stock wheels and all-season tires mounted, properly inflated I keep my speed...
  17. Has anyone tried these Expedition wheels on their Lightning?

    The SR Lariat or the ER Lariat? The ER truck exceeds the weight rating of every current F150 wheel except the 64H and the actual Lightning wheels.
  18. Your 'Connected' Car May Be Transmitting Your Driving Data to Insurance Companies

    "generally" SPEAKING, there are 'many' FACTORS which I might consider in deciding HOW MUCH 'credence' to give to someone making Factual 'STATEMENTS" online. Whether they're 'posting' to REDDIT or HERE is one of those factors, I SUPPOSE.
  19. Your 'Connected' Car May Be Transmitting Your Driving Data to Insurance Companies

    The claim is not correct for many states, or is, at least, highly misleading. In every state where they operate except California, Tesla Insurance has in fact had rates approved that charge drivers variable premiums according to their Tesla-calculated "safety score".
  20. Since when Plug and charge work in Electrify Canada?

    There seems to be an increasing trend to deceptively label chargers' output using a 1000V nominal voltage. EVgo now has a number of "200kW" chargers near me that are limited to 200A. What vehicle actually supports 1000V charging? I'm aware of nominally 800V cars that actually run 900-950V...
