  1. My first all-Tesla-Supercharger road trip

    This was the final shoe to drop to make this a perfect truck IMO. The public charging infrastructure (outside of Tesla) is horrid as we all know. Now we just need a marketing push, or wait until the old farts die. Most people (I would guess) still don't know the difference between and kW and...
  2. Generator inlet w / solar…

    Personally I'd open the backed breaker and keep PV off. Not sure what would happen if the PV inverter tried to sync with the truck, but the cost and risk of that experiment is not worth it IMO. Power is designed to flow OUT of the 30A outlet in the truck, not into it. The inverter in the...
  3. Ford Delays T3 Electric Truck Development and Updates EV & Hybrid Plans

    Just send my Tesla adapter please. Aside, either we need better outreach and EV advocates, or we need to wait for the current generation to die off. I had a lengthy conversation with my ~70 year old uncle and the ignorance on display was mesmerizing. Granted it's new tech but even explaining...
  4. GM’s proprietary V2H system goes on sale today

    JFC. Total estimated cost is $12,700! I could buy three Enphase AC batteries for that cost. Legit surprised they did not learn from the failure of the HIS. Everyone wants backup power, but no one wants it at that price, especially when you can do you own whole or partial backup for ~1/3 of...
  5. Ford Charge Station Pro (2024 Review)

    This. I wish they just made an 80A version with a J1772 connector. The Whole Home Backup is bloatware, and the charger does not communicate with any of the utility Demand Management programs across the country. And the new truck don't even have 80A of charging capability. I feel like a...
  6. Ford not participating in EV charge discount programs

    MA has similar programs. I was participating in NGRID territory for a number of months before Ford decided to stop sharing the data.
  7. Less range with DC charging?

    Theoretically routine DCFC can degrade battery performance, but not instantaneously like you observed. That was due to speed and weather.
  8. Sunrun Free Installation?

    I wouldn't let SunRun park in my driveway, let alone do any work in my house. Your state likely has a database of authorized installers if there's an incentive program. Start there
  9. Request: A concise answer to how to connect Pro Power to a generator inlet

    The answer is here, if you read between the lines. The N and G conductors should never "see" each other. Lots of folks will state that you're creating a hazard by wiring the system in a particular way but my theory is, if you don't have an existing fault in the house, you're not going to be...
  10. Out of Spec EV range test - Lightning/Cybertruck/R1T/Silverado

    Wonder whats the $/(mi/kwh)? Dollars spent divided by efficiency?
  11. Update: F-150 Lightning Fast Charging Tesla Adapters Start Shipping TODAY Per Ford!

    Where do we find our reservation number? I submitted mine successfully through the app, but now I can't find anything confirming the number or estimated ship date? Thoughts?
  12. Photos from new Tesla Supercharging station w/ new charger placement (for trucks)

    Missed an opportunity for a red, white, and blue photo op. I am disappoint.
  13. 6.14.0 Software Update Released

    I left them a 1 star Yelp review. That probably did it.
  14. Tesla Chargers & 3rd Party Adapters

    I suppose that would depend on it there's any electronics in the adapter, and if some sort of digital handshare takes place. Some folks on here have already charged with A2Z and we haven't seen any followup posts about them getting black listed. IMO it's not worth the risk. I have no desire...
  15. Tested: Pros & Cons of charging Ford EV (Mach-E) at Tesla Superchargers -- by WSJ

    Imagine in a few years time, rolling up in your Model X to see thee stations blocked by a Chevy bolt charging at 50 kW. I'd punt a baby.
  16. I charged on a Supercharger

    I'd love to see my max tow package be able to sustain 150kw for at least half a session due to the extra cooling loop. Seems like that could be programmed pretty easily. I'd bet Ford nerfed TF out of the charging curve for safety and real world testing. Hopefully once they have 3-4 years of...
  17. I charged on a Supercharger

    I just can't wipe the smile off my face. This was the last hurdle to make the Lightning a perfect vehicle. Now the crappy DCFC network is no longer a threat. Just amazing! Can't wait to get yelled at by a Tesla fanboy for hogging two charging stalls!
  18. I charged on a Supercharger

    That thing looks much more elegant than the box Ford is sending us. Wonder if I can sell the Ford and buy the A2Z
