All I have is positive things to say about A2Z. When I went to cancel the adapter when I heard it was free and a partial refund was issued, the owner called me to apologize and addressed it with me directly.
Then I needed to go on a trip in a month... so I just put an order in for one again...
Using tesla mobile connectors is way more flexible than ford's options. Having the ability to plug into almost any electrical source with the adapters made it a must have being an early adopter and new to EV's.
Plugged into fair grounds, wall outlets, 220v 15amp circuits that have the small...
Edit: A2Z really stepped up here to correct a partial refund issue and issued a full refund. Although I cancelled the order, i would highly highly recommend them simply for their customer service. I was a little caught off guard Amine called me himself to correct the error and apologize but from...
I'll admit it... i reserved one... however they will not issue a full refund on the product when you request a refund. Not quite sure why that's the case because there's no place in their policy that I found that said you won't get a full refund.
Charger availability... don't need to say more.
Going from ohio to chicago... there's 1 DC fast-charger in southbend that's close to 100 miles between chargers. Looked at the tesla app and there was 7 superchargers between them. This has been the same since 2022 and still in 2024.
Yes. MagicDock. Very easy. Never used it before. Entered card info. And got going. Ran around 120kw. Id stop again but wish the magicdock would hit 170kw like EA does.
On the way out. About 70. On the way back... 70mph. I noticed a terrible headwind when heading west so i went from 2 to 1.8mi/kwh to 1.6 on the return.
Had to get super close to the charger to the point the parking noise was constant. I didnt realize there was a handicap spot on the left side originally and i had blocked that and parked sideways. That worked great for the cord... but realized i shouldnt have done that and moved it.
Wanted to drop a trip report from Chicago to Upstate NY.
Takeaway: Yes I would do it again. ~$220 in charging costs and $$ in tolls. Would fly and rent a car if flights are cheap.
Summary:
Outbound Trip
Lariat ER. 14k miles.
729 mile trip on dec 28th Google Maps estimated 11hrs 30min...
I believe i got the new update that changed the UI interface and for the life of me i cannot find how to tune the base and treble anymore. I noticed my music got way worse, went to adjust it and couldnt find it.
Who here has travelled the farthest on a single charge before hooking back up to a charger? Not guess-o-meter range, but truly ran the distance.
I managed to clock 340 miles from 100% down to 8% with 25 miles remaining on the battery in a single day.
Trip was from chicago to Lafayette, IN...
Looking to do an EV car show with our company and wanted to get some ideas of how people show off the truck to other people in this kind of setting. Most of the people coming are a bunch of engineers and not too many people here in the midwest drive EV's from my observation.
It would be cool to...
I should ask... is a gas truck's range to empty accurate?
I bet the lightning is more accurate than a gas car.
Plus. No vehicle can predict what you will drive in the future.
Powering a saw to build garden beds for the farm.
Getting gas... thats a truck thing (diesel for the tractor)
Towing a car (zero emissions towing zero emissions)
Towing a tractor for service
And hay runs! I love this truck... although the hay bits get all over the place.
It's interesting that one pedal drive was what makes the difference to me. Great to see how this community can dig into this more. Now i can really shock my friends with this truck!
Oh wow... i didnt dig into it that deep but that definitely reflects how the truck reacts between one pedal drive and not one pedal drive.
I was theorizing on the sport mode but I am not 100% certain that will also get you better performance over nornal mode or tow haul.
To me its very obvious between one pedal drive on and one pedal drive off. When you leave opd on, the brake almost cuts the power off. If opd is off i noticed with even a moderate amount of brake pressure the accelerator breaks the holding power of the calipers and i really have to press the...
