The cable was inserted and clicked but apoarently it only takes a small amount of sideways tension to prevent a good connection on the DC terminals. Hopefully they will prodece an extension cable to fix the problem.

I had difficulty charging with the Vortex Lectron adapter. It turned out that due to the short power cable on the supercharger I was putting some lateral strain on the truck receptical. I pulled parallal into a SC taking up several spaces when no other vehicles were around and plugged in with...

This is what the agreement states. Third-Party Adapter Policy To avoid risk of serious injury and property damage, users of Tesla charging stations may only use adapters sold or provided by Tesla or by other automakers in the United States. Your use of any other adapter with Tesla’s charging...

I don't see anything about being blacklisted only this statement. Third-Party Adapter Policy To avoid risk of serious injury and property damage, users of Tesla charging stations may only use adapters sold or provided by Tesla or by other automakers in the United States. Your use of any other...

Our trailer is about 6500 lbs. We camp at local camp grounds. The range calculates out around 100 miles from 0% to 100% SOC @ about 50mph. I have not pushed the limit. After 50 miles I am at about 50% SOC. It really sucks up the electrons.

I have the XLT with the heavy duty tow package. 7000lb vs 10000lb It is just enough to let me tow my RV locally about 100 miles. It has additional cooling as opposed to the standard tow package 5000lb. I found going cross country if I used the APRP navigation app it was not that long a wait...

240 volt x 48 amp = 11.5 KW which is slightly more than the BC can accept (11.3 KW). The output is 10.5 KW. You should be using a 60 amp breaker to be in code with the 80% rule. Any higher setting than 48 amps won't increase the charge rate assuming fords data sheets are correct.

We have a 30MWH per year solar system and have net metering here in Florida. I set the charge time to electric company TOU on the truck to reduce charge cost. A direct solar to truck system would not do us any good.

Went through 3 dealers to finally get a deal done. The dealer in Pensacola was clueless. The second dealer in Crestview FL was worse. The dealer in Tallahassee FL knew about the credit/rebate program and had the appropriate forms required. The bonus was he had the exact vehicle and color (Rapid...

Thanks for the heads up.

I would run from that dealer as fast as you can. He is lying to you. Ford does not fix pricing at a retail level ever. Look at Edmund, kbb, guru to get a better idea of what is availible and at what price. When I bought our XLT Lighting there was almost 20K difference between 4 dealers. I drove...

So what do you think the charge rate will be on the SC's?

I am actually sitting at the dealer waiting for the BMS update. I am curious if the truck updates after it is completes.

That sounds about right. On a recent trip to St Augustine, FL from Pensacola we used the EA 350KW stations and they averaged about 149KW. Worked great with no problems. I assume that the Tesla SC stations will charge at the same rate.

I would buy an amprobe and measure the current draw to the truck. It should be close to 30 amps about 7600 watts. If it is more, open the main disconnect to the panel and tighten the lugs, they may have become loose. If the breaker is tripping after 5 minutes you either have a breaker going bad...

I have an appointment 02/14/2024 for the replacement that is in stock. Are there any additional software updates that should be done in addition to the regular OTA updates that anyone knows about?

My bad.

We picked up a 2023 XLT in Tallahassee. We live in Pensacola.Tax credit was applied at POS with no problem. Pensacola Ford and Crestview Ford were clueless about the credit. I assume it is at dealers description and if they have an under standing on how the system works.

Use #8 wire don't go over 50'. Most RV stores sell 14-50 extension cords. I am assuming you are using the Ford 30 portable charger, I would not charge at 48 amps with a 50 amp breaker used by after market chargers. Your internal charger is rated at 11,500 watts. V×A=W You can also hardwire the...
