We're up to 17" now, and they're still calling for three more inches this evening. I've been going outside to shovel the driveway every hour or two, trying to keep up with it.

I think we have about 8" so far, but it's still coming down pretty steady.

I think I agree with the dealer. Those look like rips and tears.

Can you post evidence of this? Ford's aiming procedure makes no mention of doing so with a load.

Best to perform that fix on a less-humid day, otherwise it'll suck in humid air again. And you may have to repeat it a few times.

If you have the headlights aimed correctly when unloaded, then the headlights are going to be pointed up when the truck is loaded, regardless of whether or not it has a rake. Trucks benefit from having automatically-leveled headlights because of this.

Triplets. Don't forget the GM Hummer. https://insideevs.com/news/784397/best-selling-electric-pickups-america-2025/

Technically, the GM trucks (Silverado, Sierra, & Hummer) outsold the Lightning slightly in 2025. However you look at it, full-size EV truck sales were rather dismal last year. The Lightning was never going to be profitable for Ford at those levels. Better that they concentrate on designing a...

That's fine. Keep your Lightning. :)

Ford's planned $30k mid-size EV truck - which is being built in Kentucky - is currently still planned for 2027. Ford was going to build the new full-size EV truck (and van) in Tennessee. That is what is being talked about here. Ford's official stance is that its introduction is pushed off to...

The BMS (Battery Management System) is what attempts to measure the battery's state. It is not perfect. It's difficult to measure chemical potential energy. Especially when each of the cells that make up the battery can be at slightly different levels. There's no way to directly measure...

Calibration doesn't make the battery perform any better. It just allows the BMS to have a better understanding of the battery's state.

There are two things to consider: What's best for the health of the battery What's best for measuring the battery's state accurately Lithium Ion batteries prefer to sit around 50%. Cycling them will cause some degradation. Leaving them to sit at high SOC (state of charge) will cause some...

Not much you can do other than repeat this process on a less-humid day. I'm glad you were able to clear up your headlight. :)

Apparently. A 2012 Nissan Leaf definitely doesn't support CCS signalling. You probably mis-heard, or somebody mis-stated. The car DOES need to have a CCS1 port (without an adapter like this), so I'm guessing that's where the confusion happened.

Headlights aren't airtight. If the air inside is too humid, then you're bound to get some condensation. To fix this, heat it up. This will cause the water to evaporate and become gaseous, and increase the air pressure, allowing some of that humid air to escape. When the headlight cools back...

No. The CCS option is only needed if you want to DC fast charge the Tesla at a CCS1 charger. The FSCP uses a CCS1 plug, but otherwise it's performing J1772 AC charging, and Teslas have always supported that protocol. But that CCS1 plug prevents the NACS-to-J1772 adapter from fitting without...

That is the hope, but the implementation cuts a lot of corners in that "emulation", and that can cause issues. In this video, Ingineerix talks about 12v batteries for Teslas in general. But in the middle, he includes a teardown of an Ohmmu Lithium Ion replacement battery, explaining how it...

Yeah, but they're talking about only DCFC, while the OP specifically mentions L2 charging. DC chargers tend to be flaky and have compatibility issues across various brands, so I don't find it too surprising when there are issues there. But J1772 L2 charging has been solid for over a decade. I...

Can you record a video of what you're experiencing? Strange that it will charge fine at a dealership, but nowhere that you try. But also... how did you manage to get 29,000 miles on a vehicle that doesn't charge? Is this just a recent development, and you had no issues charging before it started?
