The chargers at hotels are level 2 (Ac) chargers and the adapter from Ford is only for level 3 (DC) chargers. At least that's the way I understand it, I have a lectron adapter for hotels and it's worked great.
Do people use the brakes that much? I stay in 1P and I’ll bet I touch my brakes once a month (normally after an update shuts 1p off).
I’ve driven about 10 different evs this year and honestly think the one pedal and regen are better on the lightning than the others, although as mentioned by...
When my truck popped the update notification yesterday saying it was going to update overnight i about fell out of my truck. I havent received an update (at least not one that has popped up on screen or in fordpass) in almost a year. So happy to be back on track!
I've slid mine around a few times and was caught off guard the first time by how much Ford let's you get away with before the correction begins. On my 3.5 I would have to turn off traction control to get remotely sideways, the lighting let's me play more but when you ease off the throttle it...
I think the best option is for US companies to work with or license battery tech from these Chinese companies. I do believe Ford has taken steps in that direction but with the recent slow down on ev based growth idk what Ford is doing now.
That i did not know! I still think most OEM chargers are going to stay within the confines of the UL standards, Using the ford plug to charge another ev is a very unique and specific case that I dont think most chargers will consider. I cant imagine the headache when people say "well the breaker...
You don't want to run it at 30 amps on a 30 amp breaker. There's a 20% over head requirement, so max load for a 30 amp breaker is 24 amps, for a 40 amp breaker it's 32 amps. Im not an expert but I imagine this is why most chargers are 16a, 24a, 32a, and 40a.
Other than the super charger update i havent got one since June I think. Ford dealer says everything is fine and nothing is missing but I know that's not true based on missing charge %.

Just throwing this out there but make sure you plan accordingly in regards to supercharging in the Midwest is mostly V2 chargers and will not work with non tesla vehicles. EA charge speeds are normally good along the I-80 corridor.
Man I cant imagine paying that for a truck now. With the bath most of us have taken on the lighting ($89k in early 23 with no rebates vs $59k right now) I will never be an early adopter again....
in my experience its just not big enough to jump start other vehicles. I have successfully jumped 4 cylinder cars but my 4.6L Lincoln and 5.0 mustang are no goes. Have to use the jump box.
Log into Ford.com and check your vehicle. There is a CSP for the 12v battery not reporting the corect voltage and its preventing updates. Been documented a few times on this forumn (im stuck waiting on my dealer to actually do something about issues like these since October).
This is from the...
I would assume it’s possible but considering they can’t get it right with EA…. I wouldn’t hold your breath. Although I trust Teslas software capabilities much more than EA.
I would love to hear what kind of range hit you see over the coming months. I keep tetering on what i want to do when its time for tires (hoping to make it through summer) and going to a smaller wheel with bigger tires is the only way i think im going to get the look i want without a level kit.
I could see an argument for any bc activated prior to the price drop being offered free bc as long as they are the owner. Wouldn’t cost ford anything but would at least let us who didn’t know the price was going to drop or that bc was going to be $800 a year feel some sort of appreciation for...
