Tesla is offereing an option with the Cybertruck that includes the Gateway that they supply with the Powerwall setup - but even that will only supply 48 amps of AC power from the truck to the house. Which is really like one and a half really big Powerwalls, not seven Powerwalls (which each can...
The Supercharger cables aren't long enough to park in the spot intended for the charging pedestal, at least in many cases (and never to back in). Unless there are two charging spots together, or the one all the way to the right with an empty spot next to it, there would be no room to charge...
I run a Grizzl-e at 24 amps on a 30 amp circuit at home (I mostly charge at work).
I checked my charge logs - I recently charged from 28% to 80% in a little over 14 hours.
Another session took me from 70% to 100% in 10 hours and 10 minutes.
Well, EVs are heavier and generate more torque. In addition, manufacturers look to reduce weight and rolling resistance in order to improve efficiency. That certainly can result in less tire life, depending on how and how much you drive.
The stock AT tires were apparently a little soft for...
Good luck with that. I am still bitter that I paid for All Terrain tires, got what Ford calls All Terrain tires ("all terrain" to them must mean uphill and downhill paved roads) and missed out on a $7,500 state incentive because the AT tires lowered the GVWR by a couple hundred pounds...
Mine were, and I kept them a little below 40, but higher than 36. Dealer wanted me to pay for an alignment at less than 5,000, and I refused. Maybe that would have helped, but by then the tires clearly weren't going to last very long anyway. They ended up wearing inside and out, so probably...
Mine were like that - started wearing noticeably at 5,000 miles and just got worse. I swapped them at a little over 40K for Falken Wildpeak AT III in the LT size - heavy, but the range hit seems minimal and the ride is actually a great improvement. And they are actual AT tires, not the...
I also got the Supercharger OTA, but don’t have the Public Charging screen. Even with the updated FordPass app, Plug & Charge didn’t seem to work - but the Tesla App did.
i got another OTA update the next day, and no messages indicating that the Supercharger OTA failed (or that it was...
That's the one. "Worthwhile" is up to you - if it will improve your trips, and give you more time to do the things you are traveling for, then sure.
I have some minor charging deserts in areas that I frequent, and my schedule can be unpredictable between work and home stuff - so I am not...
First, you have to update the App so that you have the “Charge Your Other EV” option. “Charge Your Non-Tesla” is the old version.
Vehicle Details is in the Charging section of the main menu.
I had the OTA update, and updated FordPass, but Plug &Charge did not seem to work. I have the Tesla app for my Powerwall setup, so all I had to do was tel it I was driving a Lightning and the Tesla App worked fine.
I tried my A2Z adapter yesterday. The lock that secures the adapter to the NACS cable was a little fussy, but it was also dark and cold and I was in a hurry. And it was the first time I used it.
however, it locks securely, and doesn’t let electrons flow if it isn’t locked. Disconnecting was...
You mean the CELEBRITY in the Silver Lightning. Ignoring me I can understand, but that is odd. Now we know where Taylor and Travis can go to get away from the papparazzi if they need a break.
I figured that between the cold weather, the time of day (evening commute) and the fact that nobody had to wait for my spots, maybe it wasn’t that odd. Made me wonder, though, wat the communication has been to Tesla drivers about others using the SC network.
I got the OTA update in the truck, and updated the Tesla app and FordPass yesterday. Plug & Charge is on.
Went to my local Supercharger last night with my A2Z adapter, plugged in, and got “Plugged in and not charging” in FordPass.
Double checked the adapter, fired up the Tesla app, picked the...
