Only thing to be aware of for those considering this is that if you ever intend to use the panel for any 120V loads, you'll need one extra wire in the cable feeding it, for the neutral. The EVSE itself just needs two hots, no neutral. This will increase the cost of the cable itself but because...

It depends which code cycle your municipality is on. For recent code cycles, a disconnect is required for any charger over 60A. However, unlike some other disconnects, this one does not have to be within sight. It does have to be "readily accessible", and it has to be lockable - which is...

Neither would anyone else sane, but there you have it: why the entire FCSP/HIS system is such an unreliable mess. They use wireless (2 different protocols!) to communicate between all the parts of their overly complex system when they have perfectly good wires available everywhere they need to...

Same here.

No - activate the charger you're using from the Tesla app, *then* plug into the truck. The other way may work but ensuring the charger is activated before you plug in will be more reliable.

I have worked for two companies that stopped shipping with UPS because of similar problems. I can tell you from painful experience that if you file an insurance claim, they will probably deny it because the "item was improperly packed". They did this to us with a box they literally ran over...

Ford shipped exactly that adapter with early Lightnings. I got one - you didn't? Mine is bright yellow and was in the lower compartment of the frunk at delivery.

If you have a Tesla membership account, at $12.99/mo, you pay the same per kWh price as Tesla drivers. This price varies by time of day at many (all?) locations. Unless you charge at peak hours, it seems to be between a little cheaper and a lot cheaper than other networks around here. For...

You won't get your Tesla discount if you use FordPass to initiate charging. The only way to get the discount is to use the Tesla app to start the charger.

I see similar efficiency in the winter in northern NY and New England. Our temperatures aren't as extreme for as long but it's mountainous. There are more options for snow tires if you go with 18" wheels. Only the 18" wheels from the Pro, or the "64H" wheels from the heavy-duty payload...

That doesn't sound right. Are you sure the lock isn't partially engaged or something? None of my A2Z adapters (two AC adapters and the DC adapter) have this problem.

Haven't had any trouble locking mine but that's probably because the lock works just like the one on the A2Z AC charging adapter and I've had a month or so to get used to that one. It becomes automatic to just push the lock into place with a thumb after plugging the adapter onto the charge...

Wow. Are you guys also in some other related business? That kind of test equipment is not cheap. I still remember, about 20 years ago, working with one of my colleagues who was a mechanical engineer to see if we could actually build the apparatus for one of the vibration tests required to...

They always say the next release, the one that's about to ship, will be just great. I remember this starting when they shipped an Autopilot V1 update that was literally vomit-inducing because of its steering behavior. Elon tweeting that the next release, the one he already had running on his...

They won't have trouble realigning the headlights. This seems like the kind of quality control issue @Ford Motor Company should care about, but which you may have some trouble getting a dealership to handle....

For what it's worth I don't know how the TeslaTap Mini could be any better sealed up and in freeze-thaw conditions, water eventually got pushed in and shorted its bypass circuit. There's garbage like the Hansshow adapter, which leaks and falls apart for sure, and that's just different, but in...

I hate pulling solid and stranded bundled together. It doesn't matter where and how you tape them to each other, the solid will twist around the stranded at some bend, or the exit from a pull box (worse) and you'll be yanking the wires back and forth and back and forth for an eternity before...

They are amazing. I ordered two AC charging adapters and they got one in stock and shipped it immediately in a box that looked like it could have held 2 - but showed 2 shipped in the notification email. I sent them a grumpy email message assuming they'd shorted me on my order, which really...

If you select those two options (Supercharger network and the Tesla plugs) it will show you all Supercharger locations, whether they will actually charge your F-150 or not - or at least that seems to be the behavior of the app for me. Is it doing something different for you?

How do I get Plugshare to filter for Supercharger locations that are open to non-Tesla vehicles? It should really have this as a new connector type. It doesn't. Selecting "Tesla Connector" as a supported connector in the advanced settings comes close, but either includes V1/V2/Urban SCs or...
