Tesla gives you reliability, a large number of charges per site, a fair price, and a great footprint across the US. Relying on these other guys is a risk (chargers down, few stalls, bunch of apps needed...) and IMO, they need an incentive to draw people to them.
Today to operate the truck over a span of only 500 miles, I needed:
The key fob
A smart phone
A FordpASS account
An invite to FordpASS from the owner
An Evgo account
A Tesla Account
Turns out that GM Ultium powered by Evgo needs a different account... So a GM Ultium account
A credit card despite...
He didn't know. He uses his truck locally and didn't know that app at all.
I guess I have to install an app (Ford pass). Then I have to get him to add me as a user to not factory reset his vehicle like FordpASS wants me to do.
All because an app on the truck doesn't work. That's retarded...
Got it. Don't use the app Ford put there, download more apps and use them on Android auto.
Not sure why I thought he could hand me a car key and the vehicle would just work... It's just an F150 after all, right??

About to undertake a road trip and I hit the Public Charging app on the Sync screen in my buddies truck and this is what I get.
It's cool, I'll click advanced and be on my way since they fired the interns that pay the SSL...
Ford has copied Tesla (SMART) and provided some visual guidance in the app for setting charge limits. Some fun reading in this thread as well. Congrats on the new truck!

Depends on the error, what is it?
12ga cord is likely undersized for the continuous draw an EV will require. Charger should be plugged directly into a receptacle.
Say goodbye to charging deserts and DC Charging fees.

Husband went to the sheriff's department to report that his wife was missing.
Husband: My wife is missing. She went shopping yesterday and has not come home...
Sergeant: What is her height?
Husband: Gee, I'm not sure. A little over five-feet tall.
Sergeant: Weight?
Husband: Don't know. Not...
Have the standard version. Works great. Good software and scheduling and reporting. One of the better values in chargers IMO and one I install frequently
