Just read there was a fire last night. No word yet from Rivian. Hope everyone safe, and they didn’t suffer too much damage or loss.

Another dumb question:
Why would you want plug and charge enabled at all on a supercharger?
If I understand correctly, the last time I checked, the rate Ford charges is more than what Tesla charges. Has that changed?
I use Apple CarPlay for Nav. Does this communicate the same as using Ford Navigation when traveling to a charger as my destination? As I have come to understand- you just have to trust that the truck is preconditioning, and there is no way to manually determine if it is… or isn’t.
Took a...
That sounds really great.
I have a couple of questions if you don’t mind.
Do you have a schematic or pics?
I’m not sure what a floating ground actually means in this scenario. How are you handling the neutral?
Wow- that’s a custom fit.
My love affair with my Lightning has gotten a second wind since cybertrucks have started popping up around here. I love the low-key look of the lightning.
Why would anyone use their 30k-40k battery as a powerwall for the grid?
I can see using it as a power wall for your own home, but the grid?
EDIT ? I misread the op- I don’t realize it was just for your own home.
Also, 4 hours a day = $200/month?
Maybe I’m missing something, but that...
Elon wants the subsidies to go away, because Tesla is about the only company that would still make ev’s without them.
But don’t think that would keep China at bay. How long did it take China to take over the Russian automobile market (I believe over 50% market share)? 2-3 years? With...
I think this idea has the best of intentions.
We’ve gone through multiple hurricanes in Fort Myers, power has been out from several days to several weeks. That being said, there’s a fair chance most of the trucks being sent to help wouldn't be much help, and, assuming they’d arrive quickly...
Thanks for the replies, wanted to make sure i wasn’t missing anything in fine print.
I believe miles are Fords attempt at measuring usage. Although energy consumed per vehicle will vary due to conditions and use, and kWh’s will vary slightly.
I find it curious that all charging cycles, if...
Just curios.
if I’m using pro-power - say an average of 1,200 kWh/month, that’s quite a bit of battery usage unaccounted if Ford warranty is in miles and years.
