Nice short video and no/little fluff. Most interesting part was when he compared pricing. Tesla bumped the price for him 30% over his mother's Tesla. Though it was still cheaper than the EA down the road. All prices he mentioned seemed to be non-subscriber prices.

Truck was outside overnight, low in the 30's. Had 100% charge from L1 outlet at the in-laws. Left around 11am to go to a steak house for lunch, drove 9.6 miles, mostly freeway around 50-60mph due to construction. I didn't pay attention to SoC when I parked. After lunch, it was 60F and I was...

My brother saw a cybertruck in Phoenix this afternoon. Said it came up to him near the airport on I10 and was still on the freeway in front of him when he exited in Avondale. CA plates, no stickers or lettering, said the bed cover looked black. He thought it was tinted glass at a glance. He...

https://nxuenergy.com/news/Nxu-Opens-Game-Changing-Charging-System-to-the-Public-on-Sept-28 I wish I had the time to go up and test it out, looks very interesting. I seem to recall this Nxu company mentioned by Out of Spec when Kyle went to an EV charging convention not too long ago. And hey...

I just saw an ad for the Lightning XLT, it showed 1.9% financing for 36 months + $2000 cash back. The savings just from the lower rate is pretty good.

At first I chalked it up to Ford's cloud connectivity issues. But I haven't been able to see charging information on the "insight" tab of the FCSP since Aug 27th. Is it just me or is anyone else not able to see recent information?

https://amrtechsolar.com/products/emporia-v2x-bi-directional-charger-coming-2023 Was looking to see if there was any new updates and came across this site, says $1950. @EmporiaEnergy is this a leak? A place holder? Genuinely for sale/pre-order? I'm interested at that price. One confusing thing...

My outside temp reading seems to be consistently 3+ degrees (F) higher than actual. This is after I've been driving for a while. I fully expect it to be high after sitting in a hot parking lot all day. But after 15 min on the road it still shows higher. Pardon my laziness for not checking the...

https://electrek.co/2023/07/05/ex-apple-exec-wants-subscription-services-fords-evs/ Reading through the article kinda ruined my happy Friday vibe. This guy has no clue, none. *sigh*

https://electrek.co/2023/06/21/texas-require-tesla-nacs-connector-on-charging-stations/ More options using the same standard is a good thing.

If I read this correctly, it will be a 24kW DCFC that can pull straight from solar/battery/grid and also allow V2H and V2G. I don't really need to charge that fast but wow...

Kyle gave a tour of the Electrify Expo (I really like these videos since I hardly ever go to them). There where several Lightnings on display in the video. The one with the roof tent (at 28:10 of video) was pretty neat and one that looks like they modded the front light bar to be color? I need...

I finally got around to hooking up the LED lights on the tonneau cover, which uses a Y-splitter trailer harness adapter (so that the trailer plug gets split to go to the trailer plug and the LEDs). But now the truck thinks I have a trailer plugged in at it disabled the cross traffic alert. Does...

Article from Electrek which has a link to the video. I skimmed the article and haven't watched the video yet but it appears to be encouraging. https://electrek.co/2023/05/02/electrify-america-road-trip/

Charging up in Deming on the return leg and wanted to share the charge rate I got. Will write up the rest of my trip later tonight.

Thankfully I've been reading up on the various issues here and knew how to do a sync reset which fixed it. It was 6am and took me a minute though 😂

Sitting here at the EA station in Tucson. It's busy, only 3 of 10 spots open. Pulled into on open station, open app, and it says unavailable. Screen didn't have an error and I need to charge so I tried plug n charge and it worked. That's annoying, but at least I'm charging. Up to 139kW at the...

The permit for my 240v outlet in the garage was finally approved on the 10th, however the lady that controls the schedules is out of town this week. So it looks like I'll be on level 1 for another 2 weeks or so. The problem is that it isn't quite keeping up with my daily commute + other errands...

Bought, on clearance, a tonneau from Oedro that is designed for the 2004-2014 series F150's. I looked up the specs as best I could and I think the primary difference is just a slightly wider bed by 1 inch. I don't really care if I can get the LED's on it to work, was more interested to see if I...

I'm getting a lot of different numbers between what the truck shows at the end of a trip and what shows up in the FrodPass trip log. What is the most accurate way to determine our efficiency? If I believe my logs, I'm averaging around 3.0 m/kW on my daily commute (which is 27.5 miles each way...
