Oh yea, the frunk blows people away.

I somewhat regularly have people ask me about it. And yes, questions about battery replacement do come up now and then. Charging on the road is usually the biggest question after the "how do I like it". And with what is happening in Iran right now, expect gas prices to go up more...

After the second charge of the day (middle of the afternoon at 90+ degrees), the battery temp was slightly elevated (less than your photo above). It had cooled a little when I did the third charge (the one with the somewhat reduced rate), and was right back to the middle line for the fourth...

Charge rates can vary quite a bit and sometimes in surprising ways. Yesterday I did an almost 700 mile drive and charge four times - all at Tesla SuperChargers. The first and second were both at the V4 station in Baker, Calif., the third was a V3 in Perris, Calif., and the last a V3 in...

Remember in the old days when DRLs first showed up in the US, it just was the low beam headlights. After a few years the manufacturers started adding separate lights for the DRLs.

I have no real operational issues with the FCSP, but if I knew better at the time, I would have not bought it and gotten something else instead. My Flash is limited to 48 amps so the 80 of the FCSP is no value to me, and I have no plans to go with any integrated Vehicle to Home. I will later...

Having the ability to have Automatic headlights and using that capability are two different things. Many people (including me most of the time) do not use the auto headlights on my Lightning or on my wife's Corolla. In fact I used FORscan to change the headlight setting so that at startup the...

Incorrect. With parking lights, the rest of the clearance / tail light would be on. With the lights turned off, ONLY the DRLs are on and the rest of the car is blacked out. Can't drive 5 miles at night without seeing a car blacked out with the DRLs on. Driver sees the light from the DRLs and...

More like $4 per gallon - and that's Costco price. It wandered up and down of course, but that's a decent working number. I generally used 36 - 38 cents per mile depending on cost per gallon. I was going through about $500 per month on gas. So yes, the Lightning is saving me a ton of money...

And the worst part is that the rest of the vehicle is completely dark. See it ALL THE TIME.

Assuming you are asking me. Partially. At the time I sold it, I was getting 10.8 mpg - who knew, a V8 engine running on 7 cylinders does not work well!

If you think that running almost entirely on gas is the intended use for a PHEV. Which is what the article says is happening.

As of yesterday evening, I have owned my '24 Lightning Flash for one year. Here are some of my observations and stats. I will be touching on various topics in no particular order. Overall impression at the very end. Yea, this is going to get long... Purchase: I started my quest to purchase...

Just curious why you traded it in? I maybe remember another post from you that you were going to do something else.

I have never noticed anything odd about the brake pedal feel on my 24 Flash. I essentially always use 2 pedal mode. As someone else pointed out, I can tell when the friction brakes start taking hold as I stop (at around 3 mph) in the truck, but not the pedal. I will make a point of paying...

Better question - why would you want to be someplace that gets that much snow?

Did a short drive to pick up lunch for my wife. On the way back I had Android Auto route me back home for a test. Sync screen properly showed the distance, but the IP screen showed zero. Sync 4 Software Version: 25211_Product Revision: 1966 Google Maps version: 26.08.05.870506946

I have not been able to park any vehicle in the garage - ever. Always lived in single family houses with a 2 car garage, but one of my issues is that I always have multiple 2-way radio antennas that require more height than a typical garage. One of my maybe plans is to tear down my garage and...

What version of Google Maps are you updated to? I just looked, I'm at 26.08.05.870506946 That update shows a date of last Friday (20 Feb.), but I don't know when my phone actually got the update. Last time I used navigation (last Saturday), I still got the 0.0 miles issue. I should be able to...
