Will need to see if the 9.6kw ProPower on the Lightning will be neutral bonded like the 7.2kw on the PB. If so that’ll kill that plan unless you want to skip the ground and have it wired in a somewhat questionable manner.
I assure you this won’t be a “Ford thing” but an industry thing. What makes you think the others won’t follow suit? I’d be shocked if they didn’t. Moving to this process is long overdue.
Anyone have the link handy where you can get the raw API data about the update that’s posted above? Been meaning to check mine for a while. I got 1 OTA back around July after I had The truck for about a month and have gotten nothing since. Have a schedule set, have tried manually checking...
No, only the base package (Which I think might be standard everywhere). Assist is optional on XLT/Lariat and might standard above that, not positive though. Active is optional on Lariat and above.
There are 3 levels:
- Co-Pilot 360: Basic lane keep functions, pre-collision warning, backup camera
- Co-Pilot 360 Assist: Adds lane centering and adaptive cruise
- Co-Pilot 360 Active (BlueCruise): Adds hands free and park assist
You have the potential energy there, but the way it works is you have 2 30A “legs” of power coming out of the inverter, each running at 120v. Each of those has breakers for 30A on them and only has wiring meant to support 30A.
You can run those in series to get 30A @240v which gives you the...
Plenty of people are tripping the breaker on it already from surge current on things like AC compressors. It’s not going to give you any more power, it’s simple math. 240v x 30A = 7200W (7.2kW). Not going to magically make it supply more power by putting a different plug on it.
I have to agree. I've heard of very few actual issues. Saw one or two people that needed transmissions swaps, but not some chronic issue causing recalls etc. Viewing one of these forums gives such a jaded view because you're only witnessing an extremely limited number of the over all owners, and...
People need to also realize that EVs are often so fast/powerful because it's just the nature of the electric delivery system. Electric motors are most efficient well below 100% utilization, so it's much more efficient to put very powerful/capable motors in a car and expect them to see 40-70%...
Weird that 400A stuff is so hard to come by, I thought I had heard that was increasingly common in new construction now, that 400A was the new 200A for bigger homes, especially in areas where they don’t have gas for heat/cooking/dryer.
He does this everywhere. Went off a few months ago on some rant about how lane centering and BlueCruise are far more capable than they actually are then he disappeared for a while when everyone laughed at it. Expect something similar to happen here.
Seems like they want to hold certain trucks to certain versions. A lot of the people thinning OTAs are “broken” seem to just not be targeted for one. I myself have only received one since getting my truck in June, and there have been at least 2 newer versions posted that people have, but if you...
We have the same situation here in MA. A few billionaires own literally dozens of dealerships each across the state and own all the advertising on TV/billboards and just make an absolutely killing on all their poor customers. Nice big flashy dealerships, tons of sleezy sales reps, and service...
