I have to agree with Scorpio, the Lightning is my 3rd EV (still have a Bolt). I sold my gas powered Ford Pickup and went in to buy a Maverick hybrid. Walked out with the Lightning for 5k more and 24k off MSRP and options (including the 7.5k). I NEVER would have bought it without this MASSIVE...
I used those chargers back on July 4th. Several we damaged from collisions and I charged exactly as pictured. Very nice. However, this is one of the locations where my adapter overheated and shut off several times. With the exception of one spot in the shade, the entire charging site is in the...
That's interesting, I checked the Tesla app and it doesn't list Bucee's in Daytona or St Augustine as being available for NACS!!! I did charge at the Bucee's in Florence SC and that is listed in the tesla App as NACS compatible.
Thanks for the heads up...

1) Confirmed on both legs that the Lectron trips off when ambient temp is ABOVE 95 degrees every single...

I have had a failure every time I charge using the Lectron when ambient temps are above approx 95 degrees. runs for about 20 minutes and then trips off. i am going to try the wet rag suggestion today when i charge.
I am in the middle of a 2500 mile trip using Tesla chargers with the Lectron adapter. Charging always fails around the 20 minute mark when ambient temp is at or above 95 degrees. It has failed 4 times now. If I hold it under the a/c vent for a few minutes, all is fine for another 20 minutes or...
