Thank you! I guess I hadn't actually clicked on any of the charging stations within my app to see this screen. This is great to know.

Okay, everyone. I’m an idiot! 😆 I now see that if I’m in the Tesla app I go to Menu —> Charge Your Other EV and I can activate the session there. Very easy and I won’t be factory resetting anything. I kept trying to find something under Menu —> Charging and that’s what threw me off. Usually I...

In this case it looks like they didn’t have any plug and charge set up — I plugged in and nothing happened. No EA chargers near me or I would have used them (I pay the monthly fee for their discounted rate). I’m probably just dumb but I can’t figure out how to initiate a charge using FordPass...

How do I activate a charger in FordPass?

Where do I go in the Tesla app to activate the charger? I have a Tesla and every Tesla I’ve rented has been added to my account so that I can plug and charge. I’m probably missing it but I’m not seeing anywhere in the app where I can activate a charger.

I rented a Mach E. Went to add it to my FordPass so that I can use a Tesla charger with my adapter. However, I’m getting instructions in the FordPass app that I need to factory reset the car. I don’t know exactly what this does and I’m not in a position to do a ton of research. Is that safe to...

I think larger battery packs are overrated. Charging speed is more important (and the Lightning isn’t great there). If you’re truly road tripping, a bigger battery pack only gets you further for the first leg of the trip. And if range is cut in half during the winter, then so is the range...

Wow, that was easy! Very glad that I went with these Tesla chargers. Confirming that I was able to use the Tesla One app (I just used my Tesla credentials to log in as an "External Partner") and configure the group management settings. Also confirming that it appears that this worked despite...

Very cool. Do you know if just anyone can use the Tesla One app? This video indicates that "Group Management" can only be set up via the Tesla One app:

As much as I wanted to use the full 80A available with my FCSP, when my electrician showed up they didn't have copper wiring for a 100A circuit and I didn't want to use aluminum wiring due to the fire risks highlighted on State of Charge, so I decided to pivot back to my initial plan of...

Good catch, but that was just a typo on my end. Should be Generac 6853. I edited my post above to reflect that.

I had a Generac 6853 HomeLink installed but we are still getting GFCI issues. Curious for any recommendations here for troubleshooting or things to look out for? E.g., over on the ICE 150 forums I saw someone mentioned needing to wrap the ground wire in the junction box to avoid a ground...

I have the Generac Homelink 6852 for connecting from the 240V. Anyone know of a manual transfer switch that would work for 120V output?

Just to make sure I'm following... Are you going from the DPU into Generac transfer switch in this photo? I ask because I have the Generac Homelink 6852 Transfer Switch installed already. However, I like the idea of being able to have some batteries to backup if the truck isn't there. If I go...

I bought a 2023 Platinum in October of 2024. Wasn't 100% sure if the FCSP would come with the truck during the Power Promise promotion, but since it is standard equipment on the 2023, I did still get the FCSP shipped to me. I had already purchased a Tesla UWC after watching the State of Charge...

Completely understand your frustration. I'm hoping I don't run into any similar issues because I just recently purchased a truck from an out of state dealership. That said, it sounds like everything you are dealing with has stemmed from a single issue. Doesn't make it any less frustrating, but...

Thanks for the links! I may be confused here, but I wasn't thinking about using their EcoFlow generator. I was thinking there could be two potential paths to get power from the Lightning to the EcoFlow system: 1. Plug the 240v PPOB output into the EcoFlow DPU. The manual states AC input as...

I’m looking at getting an EcoFlow system with the EcoFlow DELTA Pro Ultra or the EcoFlow DELTA Pro 3 and then a EcoFlow Smart Home Panel 2. EcoFlow advertises that inputs can be from grid, solar, or a generator. So would it be possible to run a cord from the bed of the Lightning to the...

I'm looking at a Lariat (511A) with the max tow package. The window sticker does not list PAAK, but I've noticed PAAK listed on window stickers for Platinums. Does this just not get listed for some reason? Is there a way to confirm that it is included? The guy at the dealership is telling me it...
