I drove dumb vehicles for 45 years before I got the truck and and I don't see how adding an app and letting Ford know everything about me is an improvment. I didn't really used the app when I got the truck back in Jan 2024 and I didn't accept the new "Terms and Conditions" that popped up about...

How about this, stop making changes to the body and trim levels and take the same dollars and fix the software? I know what I'm saying ... Stop being a "Car Company" for a while and focus on the, all too important in the modern word, human interface to machine ... Or just get rid of it and go...

Just hope the people in charge of the team will listen. I worked for a couple of software companies and it felt like "once you own the product, it's your problem" ... I hope this isn't the same sort of .thing.

I think the doc was written for home batteries so like 5-10 kWH. I wrote to the person I've been talking to as Sunrun to see if she knew if the truck being driven would be considered and 0kW event. I'll ask the folks running the program

I wonder if the tuck not being connected is considered an "opt out"? If a customer opts out of an event or has some communication or other issue that prevents them from discharging during an event, they will be given a 0 kW performance for that event. These will affect the customer’s average...

The solution is you just need to use MORE electricity! :)

Can you "go back" if they no longer want to move forward with the program after Dec 2026?

In the last few days I've signed the "Home Inprovement Contract", "EV Ford Agreement from Sunrun" and for the "Interconnection of Sunrun/Ford system to National Grid" docs. The system will also do a automatic cutover if the power goes out (and I still the ProPower to Panel backup if the system...

Ouch ...

I want to see what happens when it hits of these

I have the side hustle being paid for by the the Massachusetts Vehicle to X Program. Total cost to the grant for my install is $17K, total cost to me $0. It will be interesting to see if the hardware and software stack work together and how well that will continue in the future as each vendor...

I just sent a copy of my National Grid bill and signed two docs as well as spoke with Jason at Sunrun about the install. The total cost to the grant program is $17K and the system will automatically cut over in the event of a power failure (sweet!). I don't have a date yet but things are...

I haven' gotten a date yet. I don't have solar and Joe (the site survey guy) mentioned that I'd most likely go early because the electrical is all new and therefore it should be pretty straightforward. I'll keep the thread posted on any updates

DOH!

Too much to know, too little time to learn it and too much information and misinformation available = too much to worry about. :-)

That crossed my mind too and, as mentioned above, the box is GFCI protected by the truck when enegized so "toss a coin" so to speak. I guess if a circuit was leaking current to ground and/or the panel ground had a high impedence for some reason then having the panel ground isolated could...

BTW, in reality, the camper is not "free" so perhaps buy a small camper that you can pull with the SR?

I'd be interested as well. What is the tire size? I have a 2023 XLT

We all know if you want to deliver a baby quickly to just put 9 pregnant women in room for a month. Too many moving parts and, yes Ford SHOULD be the owner but look at just how flawless their other software/hardward/firmware offering are.

The question is my mind is "who owns the fix?" Sunrun or Ford? Both do and both don't so it's just like Schrödinger's cat, it's dead and alive at the same time.
