  1. Request: A concise answer to how to connect Pro Power to a generator inlet

    I was advised of two additional Meter Collar vendors: This startup: https://connectder.com/ And some company called Tesla: https://www.tesla.com/support/energy/powerwall/learn/tesla-backup-switch
  2. Request: A concise answer to how to connect Pro Power to a generator inlet

    The cable has protection inline. That is the picture I show with the two reset buttons. This function is also covered in the manual pages I subsequently posted.
  3. Request: A concise answer to how to connect Pro Power to a generator inlet

    Thanks for the marine info! I learned something! Based on commentary here, I did a terrible thing! I read the manual supplied by PG&E. Pages of interest excerpted below. Note: As a veteran of many legal encounters, I recommend downloading the manual and printing it out for the truly paranoid...
  4. Request: A concise answer to how to connect Pro Power to a generator inlet

    Looks like this is the company that makes the devices PG&E is installing: https://www.tescometering.com/ Please give them a call and advise us on the UL certification of the device.
  5. Request: A concise answer to how to connect Pro Power to a generator inlet

    The Lightning has been verified to work with the PG&E variant.
  6. Request: A concise answer to how to connect Pro Power to a generator inlet

    Yes one should turn off the breakers for automatic high consumption devices. The instructions also state solar systems must be disconnected via the associated switch. I am trying to work with Enphase to support this meter collar generator input when one of their System Controllers is...
  7. Request: A concise answer to how to connect Pro Power to a generator inlet

    As the collar provides no power, there is not a mechanism for the meter collar itself to do any damage. When utility power returns, the collar switches back to utility mode. The generator is disconnected automatically. In the event of a Lightning strike (no pun intended) on the house that...
  8. Request: A concise answer to how to connect Pro Power to a generator inlet

    Originally I found this company: https://www.generlink.com/ When I inquired with them, they told me they could not ship one to me as my utility would not allow them. Fast forward a couple of months and PG&E is offering them directly at no cost. I should have bought a lottery ticket that day!
  9. Request: A concise answer to how to connect Pro Power to a generator inlet

    While everyone who has posted is trying to provide good & safe info, please understand this is now obsolete information. the new meter collars with generator input provide the functionality you want.
  10. Jim Farley talks about switch to NACS

    @tommolog @Ford Motor Company Thank you for the interview. A few interesting nuggets. The next time you have the opportunity, please ask the Ford team the following questions: 1) For the ‘24 MY why was the “fake” passenger side charging port on the Lightning removed when the smart thing to...
  11. saw my first cybertruck

    Regarding the Powershare, what’s the deal if you already have solar from another provider (e.g. Enphase or SolarEdge)? In other words what are the specifics on wiring?
  12. ‘24 Flash Sighted in Dealer showroom

    Goes between XLT and Lariat. Adds tech features to the XLT without adding the sunroof or ventilated seats of the Lariat. If they had kept the XLT head unit it would have been the perfect truck for 99% of the use cases.
  13. Jim Farley's Note to owners as they open the NACS Adapter box 📝

    Very nice! Does it say on the back there will be an upgrade to a bigger capacity battery and 800 V architecture for minimal net cost after the existing battery is resold to a grid energy storage project? If so, the Lightnings will start flying off the lots!
  14. ‘24 Flash Sighted in Dealer showroom

    At Serramonte Ford in Colma, CA (10 min South of San Francisco) Shockingly there was no markup! I do think it would have been better served with the head unit from the XLT. Ask for Sebastian if you want to buy it. He was kind enough to answer all my questions. Note: I was there for a service...
  15. Ford stops shipment of 2024 Lightnings due to unspecified issue

    What a hoser! Every model year starts this way. Are you on the payroll of some stock shorter?
  16. HORRIBLE FORD EXPERIENCE: SP 23B57 and 23B70 delays along with HVB and Powertrain Malefunction warnings

    I suggest you start dialogs with the dealerships across the country. look what popped in my inbox today from one of the desperate dealerships:
  17. Lariat Leather installed in my Lightning Pro

    Katzkin for the win!
  18. Ground fault using manual transfer switch

    If you live in PG&E territory request the generator adapter collar for your meter. I read that the Pro power plugs in with no issues.
  19. New Simpler Approach for HIS wiring

    How would they know if I buy the parts and install it myself? Also the need for backup is temporary given an outage. That’s what the HIS is for. That’s what the collar is for.
