Not AI or A1 Steak Sauce....

At PNM in New Mexico I pay $.03 per kWh plus about $.04 in taxes and fees when charging between 10PM and 5AM. That works out to less than $.035 per mile. So for 10,000 miles I would pay $350 in Electricity. If I had a gas F150 with equal power that gets a combined EPA 15 mpg at the current gas...

I have the PRO with all options except the large battery. It's now 3 years old This was the first Lightning sold in NM. Only problem in 24 K miles, is the rear half shaft replacement for a leak. It's quiet as a Mercedes S class and rides like an old Cadillac. Very little degradation to the...

I was doing an electrical update to the 7 unit apartment building in Mammoth Lakes, CA. This is a ski resort in the Sierra Nevada mountains at 7000 feet. We needed to remove the main electrical panel and replace it with 2- 400 amp main panels. This required SCE, the electricity provider to...

Both were turned off automatically at my house. There is a setting to shut it off at different locations.

OK, so here is my back of the napkin or should say paper of my 17 day test between my 2022 Rivian R1S with the old large battery rated 131 kWh, my 2018 Tesla model 3 with a 75 kWh battery and my 2022 Ford lightning Pro with standard 98 kWh battery. So while I was working on my house, I didn’t...

Make sure you have fun when you’re up in Mammoth. After a storm I like hitting the empty parking lots and see what I can do. So far it’s been extremely capable up there. I remember going off road down by the Green church in my BMW, X5 and getting stuck for a couple hours.

One thing we should all remember when parking on a slope that’s icy in Mammoth. I believe only one wheel has electronic brake, if that one’s on ice the car will roll. It’s happened to me before so I put a block under the tire where there’s pavement showing. My truck almost slid down the...

From when I calculate, it looks like you have the standard range battery not the extended range. I used to do that trip back-and-forth from LA to Mammoth in my Ford lightning standard range pro. Before we got the adapter, it was a pain in the ass to drive up there. Electrify America was always a...

Good job ??. Just imagine if you were in my shoes paying $.03 yes, 3 cents a kWh. That's $751.03 for electricity. The asterisk is that rate is only from 10pm to 5 am. Just a little over 1 cent a mile. To put it another way take 71,000 miles, divided by 18 mpg which is pushing it in a gas F-150...

The EA station in Mojave is back in business as of last week when I drove by. I think they had a solar problem and was taking down the panels and beams. The photo was from Aug 22

I have done it numerous times in my Pro SR using EA only in the winter. Going up that hill to Mammoth Lake takes about 1.1 kWh/mi. Don’t plan on Coso Junctuon EA to work. They have been down numerous times in the past. I charge to as close to 100% as possible i Mojave then at the EA at Vons in...

Here is what I found on Ebay. Seems to be good so far. Imagine catching up to this in the dark, you know Zeus is in front. These are reflective thick vinyl ...

Using my Rivian map planner it shows Albuquerque, Milan and Socorro New Mexico as the only central NM Tesla Supercharges open to Ford or Rivian adapters. Kingman in West Az is the only one along I40 in AZ. Otherwise about the only charging in NM is mostly EA stations. Tucumcari, Santa Rosa...

Here is my take: I do the LA to ABQ every few months. I have a SR Lightning and a Rivian. Its alway best to have a backup plan and when available charge back up to 80% or more when available. Do invest in a tesla to J1772 adapter so when you stop overnight pick a hotel with a Tesla destination...

2022. I bought one of the first ones in New Mexico. Anti-blue is the color and against the New Mexico rainbows it stands out. I was able to buy the Pro model with the tow package and pretty much everything you could buy on the Pro at the time and out the door with the tax credit it was under...

Trust but verify. Why not charge a deposit and refund when returned and shipping paid. Where are you located? I have a SR Pro Lightning. Driving 300 miles from LA to Mammoth can be tough with EA chargers.

Where are you located? I am interested. Live in the west valley

How did you get that info? I wonder if LADWP will allow this installation down here? Who actually installs the collar?

Here is some cold water on the subject. Look down the list for the Ford F-150 which should be similar to the lightning and they say this collar will not work. Love the idea of a simple meter collar. https://www.generlink.com/files/137310232.pdf
