  1. Frist time using Tesla DC charger, work with Ford pass. Check out this sign in photo is this normal.

    It is part of the zoning regulations of what ever municipality this is located in. Each parking lot in a commercial center has been designed to accommodate what types of businesses are there and how many parking spaces are required. When Tesla comes in, there may or may not be extra parking...
  2. Sensor above rear view mirror.

    If it is the in the In Vehicle Temp and Humidity sensor, wish there was a way to display those values on the screen. I often wounder what the cabin temp actually is.
  3. Platinum SEATS- cleaning?

    This is what came with my wife's new Range Rover. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004WE9I3K?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_12
  4. Turn Signal Indicator blinking fast

    To all. I could of sworn I updated this thread. I finally did undo the 12 volt neg lead and reattached. All the issues the went away.
  5. I regularly tow a 10k dump trailer with 4000-10000lbs loads - best tow vehicle I've ever owned.

    I got a 6"x10" utility trailer, about 1800 lbs. If i throw in a 1000 lbs. of flooring, what do you think my range would be on a 24' Flash. Flat roads, some city and highway driving. Thanks.
  6. Home Vehicle Charging with lots of solar panels and net metering question.

    If you are in Anaheim, contact Andrew. He can route your email to the proper people.
  7. Home Vehicle Charging with lots of solar panels and net metering question.

    It can feed back and forth within milliseconds, I would have to ask the metering engineers if it can do it simultaneously. You can ask your utility for detailed meter reads and the import/export schedule. Also you can have significant vampire loads in the house that use up your solar energy...
  8. Home Vehicle Charging with lots of solar panels and net metering question.

    Also remember you solar panels do not produce heavy amp based power. A Lightening can be charging up to 80Amps, depending. A PV system may only be producing 35 amps. Check your PV breaker size and compare your EV charger breaker size. Also remember your utility meter is bidirectional and can...
  9. Home Vehicle Charging with lots of solar panels and net metering question.

    I am guessing you are a LADWP customer, or maybe SCE, doesn't really matter. As the previous solar manager for the utility out there, we often explained this to our customers. Energy produced by your panels directly offsets the load being used in the house. Meaning that energy produced by...
  10. Lack of ICE causes a ton of Ice.

    Now just wait till the loose ice chunks start rattling around in different areas. You will think something is wrong with the truck. It took weeks to get warm enough to have all the ice chunks melted before the noises stooped.
  11. Ford Power Promise Qmerit Install- 4 month wait and counting...

    Mine took about 35 days. I thought the process was alright. I know it started with Q-Merit, and then went to a company in Colorado, who then worked with a company in Iowa, who then got a local electrician in my town. Seemed overly complicated, but it worked. Maybe that is now becoming unwieldy!!
  12. Pushed charge too close on road trip

    Good experience and thanks for sharing. I don't take mine on road trips, I am driving mostly backcountry roads. I rent a F150 ICE if I have to pull my trailer go outside a safety range. An F150 ICE has a 26 gallon tank and good for up to 500 plus miles.
  13. Talk me out of getting this Lariat

    Sounds good. For us old timers who drove GM EV1s, Toyota RAV4 EVs, and the Nissan Altra EVs, we can share a lot of knowledge of the hard path it took to get here.
  14. Talk me out of getting this Lariat

    My EV experience goes back 20+ years, I advocate for EVs. However, they are dependent of certain conditions to be successful. Not all people are candidates for an EV. The ones that are not, should not get the vehicle, as they will be dissatisfied and complain. Right now, EVs fit within a...
  15. Talk me out of getting this Lariat

    I live in the rural area, I don't have a supercharger or public charging anywhere near me. I solely charge at home. Just coming out of winter, my range was in the 190s or less, that is a 100 mile radius.
  16. Talk me out of getting this Lariat

    You don't need a pick up. A simple utility trailer works just fine and is way cheaper. Also can rent for under $20 at Home Depot.
  17. Talk me out of getting this Lariat

    The truck is inefficient compared to other EVs, known fact. You are solely dependent on EV infrastructure that is built, the majors highways have this, so if you don't deviate from the major routes, you would be fine. Crossing rural America, you are not. It boils down to where you would be...
  18. Talk me out of getting this Lariat

    The truck is nice and I'm sure you will like driving it. Looks like a Ca vehicle and in CA you tend to drive everywhere and longer distances. So beware of that, where you can just jump in the Honda and drive up and down the state with no issue. Not the same for the inefficient F150 EV. I...
  19. New owner with an EVSE question

    I use the Ford Charge Pro, always on.
  20. Will it make it?

    I have had a 24 Flash since mid December in Iowa. I just putz around town and maybe to Des Moines once a month. My guess o meter has never been any where near 250 miles of range at 90% charge. It’s been pretty cold. Maybe it will in the spring summer when it’s warmer. And I have reset driving...
