Fortnine did an excellent video on the tendency of Tesla’s vision only “FSD” to kill motorcyclists.

This clip was posted by every Tesla-Stan on my Instagram. Clearly operator error and not like the CT accelerator which basically has a locking position as part of the design.

I wouldn't sweat this. These batteries are quite resilient. 100% isn't actually 100% either. Hope that you get your truck back soon!

I'd definitely still look at Plugshare, because I have encountered Supercharger locations with multiple charging stalls down. Yes, the Tesla ratio is better, because there are more plugs per location, but you will find Plugshare reports indicating which plugs are down OR not meeting rate. I've...

This is why I do my own work. I'll be doing all service myself going forward. I can rotate tires and replace the cabin air filter as well as any tech. :P

Yes, cold does have an impact. Leaving the truck plugged in keeps the pack warm. Wait until you get to the 70s. My local runabout stuff average goes north of 3 miles/kwh.

I subscribe to charging it when I need to charge. I don't bother plugging it in unless I know that I am going somewhere or the SoC is below 40%. This results in me plugging it in every 1-2 weeks.

As it turns out, the A2Z approach to latching the NACS connector has its merits. The gaps are typical Tesla build quality, but hey, the price is right. I can’t wait for mine to arrive!

For reference, we're paying $0.15/kWh all day long (no peak/off peak nonsense). And for us, that's before we factor in the impact of net metering, which works like it should in Pennsylvania. In addition to the California electric rates going hockey stick, the net metering rules have also been...

I am around 13000 by the order number, but there also appears to be randomness how they’re going out. It’s all to build suspense and drama! 😜

If you’re frequently relying upon Superchargers in your travels, pay for the Tesla membership. It will pay for itself in two uses per month. Without the membership, yes, they’re charging a premium for non-Tesla vehicles. There are some straight up bizarre assertions about Level 2 home charging...

If you're frustrated by the F150 cupholders, you won't be happy with German cars.

With the time that I spend up in Maine and New England, an LFP battery's cold weather performance just isn't going to cut it. That LFP battery chemistry is DOA for those of us in cold climates.

It's prudent. They'll get more out of their Lightning investment. No need to rush out more models. I love my Lightning. I own it title in hand. Not looking to get another pickup truck anytime soon.

Cheaper than a similarly equipped ICE F150 XLT. Do it!

Mine is still sitting in the box. We've got a single 40A Lectron that we share between the EVs. If I have a pressing need to charge quickly, there's a v3 Supercharger less than a mile from my house. It's rare that we have a need to simultaneously charge both of our EVs. Neither gets plugged in...

The inability of customers to understand the guess-o-meter are already a headache for Ford's customer support. The average owner is not wrapping their head around state of health.

The thermal management for these batteries appears to be very solid. High mileage examples fair very well. I am not going to sweat it as a number that I look at every day. It's a nonlinear stat to obsess over. https://insideevs.com/news/712417/ford-f150-lightning-high-mileage-battery-life/ In...

It's second nature. I am coming up to two dozen times using it on road trips.
