Huh, wild. Check that your truck will charge at 80A, not all Lightnings can (mine can't, max the truck will take is 48A). If it can, you will need something like this: https://ev-lectron.com/products/lectron-tesla-to-j1772-ev-adapter-250v-80-amp

Are you sure it's 100A? I think the Tesla ones are only 48A? Maybe check that first, this adapter is only rated for 48A.

FWIW, I have this adapter for L1 and L2 charging at places with NACS plugs, works great. https://ev-lectron.com/products/lectron-tesla-to-j1772-adapter-max-48a-250v-for-tesla-high-powered-connectors-destination-chargers-and-mobile-connectors-black

Unless you want the discounted Tesla rate. If you have blue oval active, it will default to the Tesla outside network rate (I think). For me, when I am on a road trip, I turn off blue oval plug-and-charge off, pay Tesla $12/month for the in-network rate, and then get the cheaper Tesla rates. But...

Oh, and to stop the charge, first push the little button near the charge port of the truck, wait till it turns white (I think), then unplug the adapter from the truck, then unplug the adapter from the NACS handle.

I think you either need plug-and-charge enabled on your truck (in which case you can't get the Tesla discount) or you have to initiate the charge from the Tesla app before plugging in. Just open the Tesla app, select Charge my non-Tesla, pick a charger and a stall, plug the adapter into the NACS...

C'mon Ford, c'mon GM, c'mon Chrysler, let's roll again ...

True, but you only don't need the Tesla app in a Ford if you have the Blue Oval network enabled. Blue Oval allows plug-and-charge, but doesn't allow you to access the charging prices of a Tesla membership, though. (None of this would help OP, though, since they were trying to charge at a...

Pretty sure this Tesla voting is like the 'close door' button in an elevator: fun to push the button, but does nothing.

No, totally, I agree and I get it. The first trip I took in the truck was up to Flagstaff in the winter, and while I knew in my head I would make it, it was still nerve wracking since it was new (and there is essentially zero chargers once you get out of the valley). Part of my reason for making...

Yes, definitely. But I didn't keep track, sorry.

Yeah, that was the hardest stretch, the AZ infrastructure is weirdly lacking north and west of Phoenix. I charged to (if I recall) 81% in Kingman, got to Phoenix with 15% (where I charged at home). I was going more-or-less 5 over the speed limit, which is of course about 15 mph less than...

Just got back from a road trip in my 2024 Lightning Lariat (so, the ER battery). The route was basically: Phoenix —> Los Angeles —> Sacramento —> Portland —> Missoula —> Salt Lake —> Las Vegas —> Phoenix. Total miles: 3338 Average mi/kWh: 1.8 Worst efficiency: 1.1 mi/kWh (25 F with a 25-30...

In my experience, ABRP with the OBD dongle is very accurate, with some training. I've done thousands of miles using this approach, and the ABRP estimation of ending SoC is really accurate, usually spot on. The worts I've seen it be in terms of estimation is about 5% too ambitious in its...

This seems to be a common thing. Happened to me, came back in an hour or two and has not happened since. Good luck.

Happened to me last week, resolved itself in a couple of hours, has not happened again.

The update to FordPass 5.12.0 (just updated this morning) fixed this issue for me, on iOS 18.1.1.

Good news, for what it's worth, the update to FordPass 5.12.0 fixed this issue for me (about the time to finish charging showing up as --:--).

I agree, Tesla is ahead on software (I sold a model Y for my Lightning). Telsa's 10 year head start and software focus shows. But we also have a Hyundai Ioniq 5, and if you want to see really terrible software just take a look there. The app is expensive and horrid, and the in-car stuff is even...

It's FordPass 5.11.0 on iOS 18.1.1
