I have the standard "clasp" one and I love it. BTW - no BlueCruise for me.

Yeah so true. I remember back when I was serving in uniform in Europe, a general officer in either Wiesbaden or Heidelberg, both major Army commands at the time, ordered multiple dozens of flags for a ceremonial conference room or something like that... and he had no $$$ left in the...

The North Rim is much more remote and undeveloped. Few charging points there when we visited and stayed the night back in Summer 2023 (with the Mach E). The closest set of DC Fast charging points then was a cluster of ChargePoint stations in the municipal parking lot in Kanab, Utah, pretty...

FYI I've seen such receptacle postings and warnings before on parking lot receptacles in a certain Federal agency parking lot where I used to work. This is driven by the legal distinction between "Appropriated Funding" and Non-Appropriated Funding" and the two cannot be mixed, under the threat...

...or when You (or, when I) go camping and on long trips with teens and preteens. No fobs to get lost, ever.

I'll support Tom and nominate these new colloquial names for: - the power cord as "the Juice", - the truck as "the Burping Baby" and - the wall box as "the Juicebox". ...oh dang that last one is already taken ????

Phone charger, yes. Laptop charger, yes. Car cord = "EVSE". If we really want to, I can attach the picture of the Ford documentation for my truck that says it has "2 chargers". ...if I can find that pic again. "Worldwide" is a very wide-scope and fuzzy word and I'm not sure if it...

It is not my definition. Let's clarify our terms. When we look deeply into our trucks' equipment sheets, one item = "charger". On my 2023 XLT ER's sheet it lists "2 chargers". The industry' association's agreed term for over a decade now has been "electric vehicle supply equipment" no matter...

For clarity and precision of terms, the "charger" is always inside the truck, or any EV. It demands and regulates electrical input from the "charging supply equipment" or as I call them, the "charging spigot" what that in turn happens to be a DC or AC supply spigot.

Thanks this is useful data.

I have something very similar on my truck - the Diode Dynamics Hitchmount reverse light + strobe brake light. Easy plug & play wiring loom, a 10-minute job at most to wire it. https://www.diodedynamics.com/hitchmount-led-pod-reverse-kit.html It inserts into the hitch receiver. It supplements...

I remember that paper. However, I took it to mean a "Camper shell". The OP's camper equipment of interest looks much more like the hard case platform tents I used.

Oh Man, that SUCKS!

Do You mean the Tesla Magic Dock superchargers? They are clearly marked and location-filterable on the Tesla supercharging app. They will also charge any CCS-1 equipped electric vehicle.

Looking at this thread... saving pennies. Just to repeat an earlier post, the 21 - 23 mirror caps are easily switchable, with three Torx screws, once You pull off the mirror glass. That makes the paint color far less of an issue. This might be the same between 21 - 23 versions and the 2024...

So I've traveled with my Timberleaf teardrop, and at one point I also had a RoofNest hardcase platform tent on the teardrop for additional preteen fellow camping adventurers. I'd like to add another consideration for Your decisions: our trucks are already TALL. Most places it doesn't make a...

Every really cold morning I preheat and precondition the truck during the final 30 minutes of my special EV-only Time of Use electric submeter's low rates window. I figure the mass of the truck's body and battery will keep a lot of the residual heat until I need to use the Lightning... better...

Most Excellent!

The presence or absence of the glass sunroof is likely another important factor for cold weather longer distance trips. On my former Mach E, the panoramic glass roof, although decently coated to minimize Summer UV insolation, was almost an open window in really cold weather for radiating cabin...

Yeah I saw that thread and am adapting that exact idea for my truck, with a stronger attachment system that'll distribute the pulling forces directly through the ends of the body rails. Thanks!
