I have standard range. On my Atlanta to Harrisburg trip, I used ABRP to locate chargers along my route, but used my Apple Maps to navigate to them. I didn’t use ABRP’s suggestions though; to make my trip stress free, I planned to always charge to 80% and drive 90-120 miles to another charger...

I’m pretty sure I see 2.8 occasionally, though it does skip it a lot. Never 2.6

Yeah, that 400+ miles of range makes me jelly too, especially since I have standard range. I gotta remind myself to be content and thankful for what I got Lol. After many long trips though (including a recent 2,000 mile trip), I realize that range isn’t as big a deal as it feels. For my use...

Pro Power runs while driving; my first charging stop was at a Walmart to stock up on pizza, pizza rolls, pop tarts, and water; the fridge/freezer kept stuff cooled and frozen, then I’d cook a meal when charging. The truck would be ready to go before I could finish eating!

Others have gone much further, and I won’t be too detailed, but I want to share a good trip report. My brother got married two weeks ago and moved to Harrisburg Pennsylvania; he couldn’t take everything with him, so I loaded everything he left into my ‘23 lightning Pro SR and took it to him...

If it’s a destination charger, you’ll need an adapter for destination chargers; that adapter will work for all level 2 Tesla chargers. if it’s a supercharger, then pull up the Tesla app, click on the charger and scroll to the bottom of the charging description page; it will say if it’s a NACS...

Your truck should absolutely run the well!! but don’t let random people on an Internet forum tell you how to wire it up :)

Mine dropped to exactly 64% power reduction a month ago; searched here and found a couple others also had it happen and it disappeared after a day or so. Mine was back to normal overnight and no issues since.

Those numbers sound exactly right 👍 A Tesla should get ~4 miles/kilowatt hr, while the rolling brick we call our truck gets ~2 miles/kilowatt hr. Thus, a Tesla can go twice as far as a lightning using the same amount of energy. If you’re charging at 6 kilowatt hours, then a Tesla should get...

Excellent questions, “At least once a year outside at an airport for a month in January.” This concerns me because EVs maintain a minimum battery temperature since batteries won’t charge below ~freezing; if left cold, the battery will drain itself to keep warm enough to accept a charge.

I just got the SoC update last night on my ‘23 pro!! So glad it finally arrived after 9 months and almost 20,000 miles! So be patient OP, they are slow but it is coming. They shouldn’t be this slow with updates, and you have a right to be upset, but the update is coming.

Excellent question The 240v plug puts out 30 amps which totals to 7.2kw, but you still have the cabin/frunk circuit which is 120v at 20 amps which totals to another 2.4kw; thus, the truck can output 9.6kw, but you have to use the front and back of the truck.

I’m trying to convince my Mom to get an ev, and the 240v plug lets me tell her that I can charge her car if her battery dies (she has range anxiety). I have used the outlets plenty of times at job sites running hammer drills and such, but never gotten remotely close to the 9.6k watt range...

I was hoping for a residential DC Fast Charger...

I had a very similar trip efficiency (1.5 - 1.8 mi/kwh)a couple months ago on a 400 mile trip (60-70 degrees F, 70 miles/hour; headwind/tailwind had the same effect you described); I made a 600 mile trip two weeks ago at 70-85 degrees and 70-80 miles/hour (no noticeable wind effects) and got 2.2...
