  1. Google Maps EV Routing for Android Auto Now Available for the F-150 Lightning!

    I played with it some more and can report that there is no ability to replace a charging stop on a route with more than 1 charging stop. There is also no ability to set an arrival state of charge, if you have any stops other than the final destination on your route. Both of those options...
  2. Google Maps EV Routing for Android Auto Now Available for the F-150 Lightning!

    You mean I have to start driving? I’ve built several routes and if there’s more than one charger on the route, there is no replace option on the screen. If you click “edit stops”, it only shows the waypoints and destinations, not the charging stops. I guess I’ll know more tomorrow after I’ve...
  3. Google Maps EV Routing for Android Auto Now Available for the F-150 Lightning!

    I finally got access to an Android phone to play around with this and I’m somewhat surprised that the weaknesses of this implementation are not being discussed more. Replacing a charger seems to be pretty decent if there is only one charge stop in your route plan, but as soon as there are...
  4. Use of Capacitor to save 12V battery?

    This behavior is one reason that I choose to charge the truck at a lower amperage. I don't drive a lot each day and the longer the truck spends actively charging, the more time it spends maintaining the SOC of the 12V battery. If I charged at 80a, the HVB would hit the target SOC so quickly...
  5. Comma AI self driver assistant

    I personally like the more subtle texture I get from my BIQU Cryogrip Glacier build plate, which to my eye, is between those 2, but a bit closer to the smoother one.
  6. Pro Power Onboard Turns Itself _ON_?!?

    23 Lariat, My cabin outlets seem to be on by default at startup. I often turn them off on road trips and after every DC charging session, they seem to turn themselves back on when I press the Start/Stop button to re-enable the truck.
  7. 2025 Lariat Trim rear drivers side top seat fold down

    I the XLT and lower trims, there might even be usable space back there. On Lariat and above, the space is almost completely filled by audio components.
  8. Comma AI self driver assistant

    With the current level of functionality and my driving habits, the only way I can imagine paying for BlueCruise would be to buy it for a couple individual months to cover the 2 or 3 road trips I usually do in a year. I’m accumulating the pieces I need to get a Comma up and running, but I’m...
  9. Stick to Rotary Shift Knob Conversion w/ 3D Printed Rotary Shifter Holder

    It seems to depend which version of the shifter you get. I got the $30 one from the original e-bay listing and the knob definietly physically rotates if you open the door or shut off the truck with it still in D or R
  10. Stick to Rotary Shift Knob Conversion w/ 3D Printed Rotary Shifter Holder

    I've now printed both the basic shifter box configuration and the Big Cupholder version on my P1S using Black BambuLab PETG-HF. The basic shifter box fits great, but the Big Cupholder version did require some moderate carving of the console structure to make space for the cup holder bucket. It...
  11. Stick to Rotary Shift Knob Conversion w/ 3D Printed Rotary Shifter Holder

    I printed the "flat" version, so I could get bed texture on the top surface. The way you describe the fit is the way mine fits, but I haven't added the magnets that the part is designed to use to hold it in place. The fit is acceptable to me, but not as precise as I'd hoped for. I think I'll...
  12. Stick to Rotary Shift Knob Conversion w/ 3D Printed Rotary Shifter Holder

    A few note to anyone trying to print their own shifter holder bin on a 256x256 printer such as the X1 or P1 series printer. It will fit, If you download the angled 3mf file from the files section, that is a good start. Also, from what I can tell, the oval shaped feature, that the whole print is...
  13. V2H possible with other equipment?

    Do you have any links to Enphase info about an AC Bi-directional V2X system. All the information I have seen from about a year ago show a DC Bi-Directional V2X system Perhaps you are referring to how the Enphase DC bi-directional EV charger will output AC to the grid through the use of IQ8...
  14. V2H possible with other equipment?

    PointGuard looks promising, but the language on their website is very consistent with my understanding. “* V2X functionality is limited by the EV's capabilities. Once the relevant standards are published, V2X feature can be upgraded through the OTA. For the official support of vehicle models...
  15. How far are you from a DCFC? (Within 200 miles in the Contiguous US)

    On the routes I travel between Arizona and NE Oregon, the longer gaps between chargers are in 180 mile range, but there are a few of those gaps that will be shortened up soon with the addition of a few very expensive Pilot/Flying J/GM/EVGo locations. My preferred travel route, through the Great...
  16. V2H possible with other equipment?

    ISO 15118 is a family of protocols related to EV charging. Since the V2X portions of this protocol are just barely getting to be properly defined, it is very unlikely that the existing programming on our trucks will support ISO standard V2X as they sit. If we a VERY lucky, Ford/Chevy/Rivian...
  17. Single-occupant EVs will no longer be allowed in Arizona HOV lanes starting in October

    In my driving, it seems like the hours that the HOV lanes are in effect, already allows me to use them most of the time, Except I never drive 85+, so I’m always having to move back out of the HOV lane to get out of the way of the flow of fast-lane traffic.
  18. PSA: Get an Additional BlueCruise Year for Free (2022 and 2023 Models)

    I went through the process, as others have an got the web success message, followed by the unable to process message. What my account shows now is that it still expires at the end of the trial, but it will auto-renew at the end of the trial for $0 per year, so I think it worked. I suspect I am...
  19. If a Tesla can recognize all versions of supercharger, why can’t Lightning be programmed to do the same?

    Tesla only supports NACS at selected sites (about 60% of supercharger sites) Telsas charging at superchargers do not use NACS, they use Telsa’s proprietary CAN based communication. Ford is supporting NACS (via the adapter at this time.) Telsa is, by design, keeping 40% of their network private...
  20. Battery Temp... with pictures!

    Just a comment, the Lightning does not charge faster when you arrive at a low state of charge like a Tesla does. You’ll generally see your best charging performance if you arrive above 15%. On road trips I target 20% for each stop and generally charge to 79% each stop and I arrive on the high...
