If I've preconditioned, I unplug and get in. That easy.

At the EPA rated 2.4 mile range, 800 miles per hour would be equivalent to 333 kW charge rates. Lucid Air doesn't peak there, let alone stay there for any amount of time. We'd all love faster charging, but even the fastest charging current production vehicle would get less that that with the...

I only meant they told me before I took my truck in, unlike the OP.

There's a couple ways to tell when you are actually looking. The actual charger boxes are telling, too. Online, though (say, in Plug Share or supercharger.info) the wattage is the only way to filter in order to see what will be available to us. That's what I was referring to. Hilarious by Ford...

V3s are all 6'. It's an issue. Also, adapters will be needed when they flip the switch and all V3s and V4s become available regardless of magic dock.

150 kW stations are V2. V3+ are 250 kW. That's the only way to tell as far as I know.

1. Yes, it turns off. It will also turn off automatically while driving if it senses the moisture content getting too high to prevent fogging. 2. Truck has to be on. It's one of the more annoying lack of features, imo, that there's no way to turn on Pro Power without turning everything on. Would...

My dealer said they weren't allowed to order parts (light bar, etc) until they examined the vehicle. Very annoying, but at least they were honest. I took my truck in for the 10k service (you know, rotate the tires and check the coolant) at 9.5k miles and waited for 45 minutes while they did that...

I don't have an answer for the strange situation in this thread. It's happened to me once. And I don't rely on ford nav to get me many places, but I will use it to select the next charging stop I am hitting so it will precondition the battery. I get much faster speeds - especially in the winter...

I keep reminding myself that the etiquette (and even the knowledge to understand why the etiquette exists) is very much still being learned. Lots of new EV owners out there. Vehicles taking a charger that they can't come close to utilizing are frustrating, but there could be many reasons as...

Head winds are the biggest enemy of range, for sure. Since aerodynamic drag increases exponentially, a 10+mph headwind at highway speeds is a big impact. I travel Kansas interstates a decent amount. There's always wind and the traffic travels at 80 mph. You couple 80 and a 15 mph wind and the...

I ABSOLUTELY believe the card reader doesn't work. That's been a consistent challenge for EA. But I've never had an issue with the app. Since my last post I did remember one other time I used it - I activated with the app no problem, but then had a charger fault. I switched to the other cable...

One of the myths is that using your phone will have any appreciable impact on efficiency. My 4400 mAh phone battery is about 16 watt hours, or 0.01% of my truck's usable capacity. Not 1%, 0.01%. Talking on your phone all day long won't have that much impact even taking running the speakers and...

That is exactly what losing market share means. Tesla's share of the EV market is getting smaller. It was going to happen, and the market is growing, so it's not all bad, but it's absolutely true and an important measure. It means Tesla has different considerations to take into account than a...

I've never had an issue with the app. While P&C would be preferable, swiping and then charging takes a few extra seconds and saves me dollars each time I charge. Maybe 25% savings isn't worth the hassle, but making it seem activating with the app is regularly challenging or what leads to...

Guess we shouldn't be surprised that a Ford app/website feature isn't clear ;)

I use ABRP to plan, then just put the next charger as my destination in the Ford Nav each time. It's annoying, but the best way to precondition I've found. I can't remember, but you may be able to add a specific charger as a stop after you put your destination in. Seems like maybe I did it that...

That sure looks like the level for the HVB, not the 12V...at least, that's what I would have assumed.

Ah - when I read "mileage" I thought you were referring to range. I take it back. I agree with all suggestions!
