The communication is likely the 12v system - may have a bad OEM AGM even though it is not very old. You said trickle charger - you should be using a maintainer WITH AN AGM MODE. Ordinary old-school trickle chargers without an AGM mode could harm the battery by over charging it leading to...

In a related issue, there are a couple of us who've had the Frunk open by itself. I had my truck OFF but was testing the PPOB while OFF FORscan tweak I had just done at the time, may have been about 3 hours like that, so I thought maybe the 12v battery got low with the truck OFF. I had...

My 2023 Pro "chimes" once if I lock it while it is running. I used FORscan to enable 'silent mode' - before that it used to honk which I found to be too loud.

I think I made it up accidentally when I was telling the guy he was something else, lol

It's all relative, I guess. My friends from the Caribbean think 75F is cold, ha! When I visit there I think "how do they work so hard in this heat?"

I hear ya. None so blind as those that will not see. I used to get hassled by gas guzzlers when stopped at a light for example in my 2012 Nissan Leaf. One time I misspoke and called the guy a "gashole" as I left him in my electron dust. So I made this sticker as a result: It kind of sums...

Snow cones in Minnesota...because they miss winter? :)

Good job - hope you made some converts! I get the same question sometimes about replacing the battery. Range seems to be the biggest concerns for the uninformed. Having to stop to recharge and it taking too long, as well as a scarcity of charging stations also come up. I often steer them to...

Good explanation of the FCSP HIS operation. Many problems with the communication between the truck and the HIS system have been preventing it from being reliable as the many threads can attest. The HIS provided a 40A x 240V = 9.6kW output through the FCSP. The path B, which I have done...

I recall another owner on the forum having the same problem - J1772 wouldn't work, DCFC did. I believe it turned out to be the AC-DC converter or the wiring for it - J1772 home chargers provide AC to the truck, it converts it to DC for the battery. Rodents like to chew the wiring apparently...

As Forrest Gump said, "it happens" :)

The laws about recording telephone calls vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction (states). In some states both parties need to consent in others only one party - Linda Tripp famously recorded her telephone conversation with Monica Lewinsky and broke the law in Maryland. In Virginia it would not...

Yes, that is a shame. This is an example of why China is going to beat the pants off US EV makers if someone doesn't get a clue soon. What about FORscan tweaks for some things? And Is there nobody who has figured out the module changes made to it to sell in Norway/Germany yet and how to use...

There are shops that can swap out the bad module or modules for used ones: Alex's email: [email protected] Alex's shop: https://wattworks-ev.com In the mean time, if you continue to drive the truck with one (or more) bad modules, unpleasant things could happen, like getting the "stop...

The ER battery $47k is more than the deal I got on my 2023 Pro new in Jan 2024! Might as well buy another truck as pay that much?

With a power adapter you can pick pretty much any dash cam you want. I have a dash cam with front and rear views and use this adapter: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B088P4VFQ7?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title The dash cam...

Yes it always seems to take more time to put away the tools than it takes to fix whatever it was you were working on. And sometimes it takes an even longer time to find the darn tool you need for the job...and worse case scenario it shows up right after you finish the job using the new tool...

If made well, an EV should be pretty much maintenance free, so they have to make some after sale money somehow, and it's always in parts it seems. Some estimate that buying all the parts for a car would cost about 10 times what you'd pay for the car already assembled. I think that is a...

Yes, they made it too easy to steal the whole dang tail light, which is a thing in some areas. Some places they are also stealing tail gates! Always something...
