  1. Reflections on the State of DCFC Charging in the US

    Nice review and you give me hope as I prepare a charging station review on YouTube, twodogsdennis. Having recently completed a 2600-mile road trip from CO to Boring OR with Guide Dogs for the Blind puppies, I had an 11 out of 10 experience at 16 Tesla stations. It feels like the Tesla...
  2. Increase range by 18% with Flated Cap

    There is no wiring in Flated caps or toppers
  3. Increase range by 18% with Flated Cap

    We still talk about all of the calculations we did on flying blobs of Jello. As I said in another reply, I doubt this increase will have a long-term change on range but until that time I'll enjoy the savings.
  4. Increase range by 18% with Flated Cap

    I haven't noticed any long-term change with the tonneau cover in 12K miles, just that the stuff inside is dry and doesn't fly out.
  5. Increase range by 18% with Flated Cap

    So many darn variables is right. This type of reply is why I posted, an opportunity to discuss the same questions that Derek #1 and I had at A-Basin (long story). We surmised that the increase was due to a deflection in the turbulence behind the cab and the fact that the Cap from Flated dot...
  6. Increase range by 18% with Flated Cap

    I was thinking the same thing. Right now, the plastic window covering on the outside of the cap is preventing the entire width of the cap to seal against the back of the Pro cab. Unfortunately, a slider window isn't available on the Pro, so squeezing the cap to the cab may prove moot. I'm...
  7. Increase range by 18% with Flated Cap

    Good morning, I recently added a cap to my Pro from Flated that has increased the range by 18% to 2.7 mi/kWh. I posted a video of the range test and now with ~800 miles the range is still holding the 2.7. I met two other Lightning owners charging at A-Basin on our last ski day and we exchanged...
  8. Should have just bought one... but here we are.

    I've seen pics of Toyota and Chevy tags as well.
  9. 2023 F-150 Lightning Windshield Cracked After Defrost—Ford Won’t Cover It! Help Needed

    I don't think this is an option on the Pro, at least I can't find it anywhere. In one of the latest app updates, there now is a "climate" option after I initiate precondition. Even with climate temp set at 60 and defrost and seats set to off nothing changes with precon nor are there any...
  10. 2023 F-150 Lightning Windshield Cracked After Defrost—Ford Won’t Cover It! Help Needed

    I had this happen to me last month and started a thread on this forum. The problem for me is that when I initiate preconditioning on the Pro, the defroster can kick on so high and so hot that if there is thick ice on the bottom of the windshield the glass warms unevenly and the crack forms. No...

  12. Pressure crack on Windshield at -16F

    Update Thursday: I appreciate all of the comments, and I had a good idea that things would turn out as they have thus far. I spoke with the dealership today and the service manager traced the crack nearly the full width of the windshield and thought there was a chip that would prevent Ford...
  13. Pressure crack on Windshield at -16F

    Thanks for the reply. If indeed this was a stone chip, it was microscopic and at the bottom of the windshield. Like you, I don't fix the chips on the Silverado since often the cost to repair is half the price of the replacement windshield that my ICE mechanic shop charges. Safelight gave me a...
  14. Pressure crack on Windshield at -16F

    Thanks for the info. At the time of purchase, the dealer wanted an arm and a leg for glass coverage, so I stuck with the glass coverage on my personal policy.
  15. Pressure crack on Windshield at -16F

    Temps over the weekend got to -16F, which is not that cold depending on where you live. I turned on preconditioning Monday evening and went out ten minutes later to clean the windshield of about 3" of snow and ice in preparation of a 7:30am departure on Tuesday. On Tuesday morning, I again...
  16. Having issues with CarPlay not able to send audio to 22’ Lariat.

    I had a similar issue last Friday, but with the dongle that connects the Sirius car kit to the truck stereo. Bluetooth could see and connect to the dongle but no sound. I reset everything several times, then the music suddenly started in the grocery store parking lot. My thought was that the...
  17. UPDATE: Dongle for Sirius Car Kit

    I'm glad you found a transmitter. I tried a similar model and had problems with finding an empty frequency that worked across CO, which could have been due to my impatience or that there was just nothing available.
  18. UPDATE: Dongle for Sirius Car Kit

    Update: I found a dongle that SYNC4 recognizes and will allow the Sirius car kit to play through the stereo system, for the nice price of $10. The dongle has transmit and receive capabilities, so use the TX side. Directions are in small print, but very understandable. Connect using "Audio"...
  19. UPDATE: Dongle for Sirius Car Kit

    cell phones stop working when you're out of range of a tower. satellite antenna will work in remote areas.
  20. UPDATE: Dongle for Sirius Car Kit

    So far, I haven't found a dongle that the Pro will pair with. The truck will pair with any phone, but that is limited to wifi whereas the satellite antenna works anywhere. An FM connection, from reading other threads, is often washed out. So I'm still hunting for a USB dongle that Ford will...
