you're in that 'aggravating' time in your ownership, but, when you get all those 'issues' resolved, and 80,000 miles later you look back - you'll hardly remember.

this conversation, or argument, makes me think that a few believe that we LIGHTNING owners are only on this forum to promote our Lightning purchase, as if no other option is 'better'... but... I have plenty of conversations with folks who ask me about my Lightning, whose main concern is 'how...

Buc-ee's, or any other parking lot or fuel station owner, does not determine Tesla units compatibility with 'Other EVs'... only Tesla does. per Tesla App: Buc-ee's Fort Valley, GA 44 Superchargers Up to 325kW max available to "Other EVs" Yes, there may be mis-information, even from...

"If those parameters were programmed into a communication device when the circuit was installed..." yes, but the idea of a 'pure' autosensing plug-n-play EVSE doesn't exist because, well, you would have to PROGRAM it TO the breaker size/wire size/outlet size , first... sure, that is a HUMAN...

yes, it really would be nice to have 'auto amperage sensing' for many electric devices, tools, etc., to make life in the EV world easier - but, at this point in history, there is no physical or electric/electronic method to automate the process of identifying the 'maximum power' to any breaker...

yes, there is nothing prohibiting using ProPower while charging the truck: those are two separate actions that do not interact with each other... A) Charging is using the CONVERTER to change AC power to DC power B) ProPower is using the INVERTER to change DC power to AC power but, you can also...

by the way, if you'll look up VentureOutPanamaCityBeachFlorida, a planned 'rv, trailer, tinyhome' community of 750 'units'... the ALL have a single type of Electrical Connection: the typical Campground Full Power 240v50amp/120v30amp/120v20amp Main Panel, with individual breakers. Even as...

these are all the potential options that many of us have had when traveling with our campers, depending on the campground/RV park and the electrical options they provide... A) I have certainly used the campground's 240v 50amp outlet for my LIGHTNING to charge with my 240v 30amp EVSE, and at...

as a consumer, I would suggest that any new vehicle purchase comes with the assumed Manufacturers Full Warranty, from the date of PURCHASE, unless told otherwise BEFORE the sale, and/or within a signed contract stating otherwise.

yes, and there are PLENTY of us SR EV owners, like me, with almost 60,000 miles, who have NEVER used any EVSE anywhere CLOSE to 80amps... my Ford Mobile 30amp EVSE, or using our adjustable 30amp MaxGreen EVSE, works just fine, and I don't even plug it in often, or certainly every night. The...

we recently moved to a rental home, with our TWO EVs, both SR range, from a home we sold which had the drive thru carport, and PLENTY of options for outlets, etc... the new rental home, with a tight garage, made for an interesting situation for 'where' to charge: A) there is a typical...

my son just experienced a similar move from a rental home where he had a nice 240v outlet for his 240mi BOLT, to a brand new upstairs Apartment, where the owner doesn't allow any external outlet usage for car charging, not that he can even park that close, anyway... at first, yes, he just...

so, to best define the differences in what some folks might accidentally say, or assume, is 'insurance'... let's look at the differences in what 'protects' your truck, your investment: A) MANUFACTURERS WARRANTY: This is from the factory, and protects against mechanical, electrical, software...

there's a whole different set of issues that comes with a 'manual' hand-held 500v 'extension cord', as you might can imagine... - first, there is the need for an absolute SOLID and unbreakable connection between the NACS connector and the 'extension' cable. While a CCS to NACS adapter that we...

I have seen this same phenomenon over the last several months with my own Ford MOBILE EVSE, although it worked perfectly fine since August 22 when the truck was just a baby : ) The LED notification on this unit is not real clear: why, Ford?, we don't know... but, since there is no relative...

...'wiring up' a 120v 15amp household outlet to '240v' power would require a rather in-depth understanding of what to do to accomplish that - moving it's Neutral wire in the main panel to the other side of a new 240v breaker, along with also moving the regular hot wire to that same new...

not sure what you are referring to, but dedicated 240v 20amp outlets are designed with a different prong configuration, although they may initially look seemingly identical to a traditional home wall outlet - but the prongs are HORIZONTAL, rather than VERTICAL. There is NO WAY to plug any...

no, not really: don't confuse the question of "can an EVSE automatically sense the maximum amperage it can use from the outlet/circuit it is plugged into" with this mentioned 'smart EVSE equipment'. This EVSE is NOT the EVSE being 'smart', but the device which you have to INSTALL within the...

the truck will already handle it's own needs regardless of it being 'ON' or not... these computers with wheels are pretty smart. No worries - there's nothing you can do to somehow 'damage' or otherwise create negativity with your habits. The other option is to just simply leave it 'ON'. I...

notes: "Insurance" or "warranty" have nothing to do with this. -There is no 'you wired something incorrectly' Claim Rejection within the insurance world. -There is also no 'you wired something incorrectly' Warranty Rejection within the auto manufacturer world. These type of things are...
