100% agree. I wasn't clear that the EVSE sets the limit and the EV determines how much up to that limit it wants. I'll see if I can find the post tonight. The fellow was convinced he was getting 24amps on the TT30/Tesla Mobile combination to his Lightning but if you've tested it, he might have...

I agree, most EVSEs will not provide more than 12 amps when connected to 120v L1 because most assume you are using a 5-15 plug and for safety reasons, 12A is the maximum. There are exceptions notably with the EVSEs that use the dongle to determine the outlet it is connected to. The Mach-E...

The truck doesn't limit the charge rate, the EVSE does. When you plug the EVSE to the truck, the truck asks how much current it can draw, and the EVSE answers with its capacity. The truck will not exceed the amperage answered by the EVSE. Most EVSEs have only a NEMA 5-15 plug for L1 and the...

The GOM is useless and never accurate. With the Navigation destination set, it is MUCH closer to reality although still keep an eye on it since it doesn't account for headwinds. Once you set your destination, it has a better idea of how fast you will be driving since it knows the roads you...

Great to see the adapters flowing again. I'm up in the 48xx range so maybe in a month or so. Looking forward to opening some charging options.

It sounds like a 12v battery issue, not an HVB battery module. Pretty much all of the electrics (Screens, door locks etc. all run on 12V) I wonder if it got drained while you were unloading it and then it did a bit of a recovery when you left it alone for a bit. Lots of us have had to have...

Very few even notice. I've never had any negative responses other than when discussing towing or driving 2000 mile road trip. People notice when I pop the Frunk to load things. I've had a few folks run over and ask where the engine is. I usually start by saying, "Not sure, I guess they...

I'd lean toward the driving situation rather than the overall efficiency but keep it as a watch item. I do a 370-mile round trip fairly regularly which takes 2 DCFC stops due to the location of the chargers. The efficiency stays pretty consistent before and after the charge stops. If...

The link doesn't work for those of us in the Great White North. This is what I get when I check status with the link provided in the email. If I call them, I'll likely get the same response as @Lightning101. Hurry up and wait....

Be careful on the right pedal. The Lightning has a quick unload feature at the bottom of the pedal and you don't want to find it by accident at a stoplight :cool:

While your second sentence is correct, a torsion bar IS a spring and works on the same physics principles as a coiled spring (twisting of the bar whether coiled or straight.).

The tailgate is also counterbalanced with a spring so it doesn't feel so heavy. You should be able to stop it with minor resistance. If you have the full weight of the tailgate, perhaps your spring is not set or attached correctly. Mine feels pretty light compared to my older trucks without...

Frankly it is a really simple piece that just snapped off with a trim tool after removing the license plate holder. The front license plate holder screws right through that piece into the two centre holes although it doesn't look like you have a front license plate. If you have to fix this on...

The part number is NL34-17D957-A-PIA-03. Ask the dealer to look that up. I wasn't able to find it online but maybe someone with access to the Ford systems can find it.

I have the issue but no cap. I have a sturdy Diamondback HD cover on the back that probably weighs in the neighbourhood of 140 lbs.

Can you send a picture of the slots so we can see how it comes off? Better to know than to break the tabs.

There are lots of threads on this one. The truck shuts many modules off in a sequence, eventually shutting down the modem and going into deep sleep mode when the SOC drops too far. When I tested, this seemed to be around the high 40s% on my truck using an independent battery monitor, but I'm...

I wouldn't worry about pulling the cover. I'm testing this weekend at 48 amps and will compare what I get at 32 amps and what you get at 80 amps. I suspect they will be pretty close to your 91% give or take a percent.

Awesome tracking. Do you always charge at the full 80 amps? Just curious if you see a difference in efficiency if you charge faster or slower. If you have this in a spreadsheet, you can work out the efficiency (probably Fordpass KWH/FCSP KWH would give a pretty accurate efficiency). I'm...

Last Saturday night I added 69kw to the truck and my Emporia measured 77kw consumed. Roughly 90% efficient running 32 amps. I'll run it again this weekend at 48amps and see where it lands, but I'd guess 90% efficiency will be pretty close for most L2 charging.
