I'm order 9188 with a May estimated ship date. So far, no sign of a shippment.

It was a while back, but probably around freezing.

Holy crap! I didn't realize how much power was used for pre-conditioning. I just looked at my sense energy monitor and it pulled around 9kw for almost an hour this morning! That's almost as much as I use to recharge from my 25 mile daily commute. Thanks OP for this thread alerting me to this.

I just got the call and email as well. I took delivery at the end of July.

It felt better towing with my Lightning than it did with my 2018 F150 that also had a crew cab and short box. On the highway, I felt much less swaying when going by tractor-trailers. I'm still amazed at how I can merge on the highway or accelerate from a stop light while towing as quickly as...

This past weekend, we took the camper out for real on a short trip to camp in family's backyard in Mass. The trip there was 72 miles and we drove about half of it on highways and half off highway going trough New England towns (Slow, many stop lights). I was wondering if we could make it there...

Update on the GFCI issue: Looks like New Hampshire adopted the NEC2020 code but with a few amendments where the GFCI requirements are not expanded beyond 120V 20A. https://www.nh.gov/safety/boardsandcommissions/bldgcode/nhstatebldgcode.html Swapping my breakers for non-GFCI ones solved my...

Great to see that the Tewksbury EA can be trailer friendly! It will probably come in handy when I head south to go camping.

Thanks for this info. I can confirm that the truck didn't ask for more than 11 amps from my OpenEVSE set to advertise 24 amps when plugged into a 120V 30A circuit. This should be updatable via software if Ford decided so right?

Did the truck pull the full 24 amps? I tried this using an OpenEVSE which powered up fine on 120V and let me select 24 amps. When I plugged in the truck, it didn't ask for more then about 10 amps. I tried when the SOC was probably around 80% and thought it was just limited by the higher SOC but...

Yes, I've noticed similar noises which seem to come from the front end from time to time. Reminds me a bit of a u-joint going bad. I don't have an answer yet but I'm thinking of taking it in to the dealer for a check up. I'm at 2500 miles so far.

Yes I tested this at home while charging off of my 14-50 outlet and powering the camper from the bed using a 30 amp adapter. I ran the camper's AC for a while without a problem.

OK, so when I finally get around to getting up there, I might still be one of the first 10?

In this case, we're talking about charging the Lightning from a GFCI protected outlet. I think I did see potential issues mentioned in other threads with using the Lighting to power your house without using the home integration kit. Something regarding the neutral and bonding, but that's beyond...

I had noticed your avatar and figured you probably visited my neck of the woods. I used to roadrace in Loudon and some of my buddies would go to the drag strip to practice their launches. Let me know when you'll be there again, I might go check out the action.

Yup, that's what I'm discovering. So, going forward, as code requirements for GFCI breakers to be used with NEMA 14-50 outlets in garages and outdoors get adopted, how will this issue be dealth with? Will EVSEs meant to be plugged in need to be redisgned? Is there another solution to use an...

So I started with the gain set to 6.0 as recommended in the manual and when I did a low speed test, the trailer brake seemed to be about half as agressive as how I used to run it on my old F150, so decided to start there. On the Highway, I used cruise control to maintain 65 on the way out and...

Yeah, now that I tried a Wallbox as well, I'm more convinced the issue is not with the OpenEVSE but with the use of EVSEs with GFCI breakers in general. Seems like to remain within code, I'll have to hardwire the EVSE so I can switch to a non-GFCI breaker.

Yeah, that Bowlus is a bit out of reach. I do like the idea of having batteries and propulsion in the trailer like Airstream is demoing with the eStream Concept. https://www.airstream.com/air-lab/concepts/estream/

Yeah, I have the Max Tow package so it's probably not a heat issue. I'll keep better trick of the charging curve next time I fast charge.
