It is interesting to me that the one piece of equipment that has been rock solid for me has been the FCSP. I have never had connectivity issues or problems like everyone else. The two possible reasons are that I have always had it dialed down to 64A or below using the hardware limit. I also...

I have been in this state for almost 3 years now. My modem literally decides at the beginning of each trip if it wants to do anything or not. Often times it craps out in the middle of a drive which causes Ford Pass to think the truck is still on, even hours or a day later. Other times it...

As mentioned before I have the 5.3.8 version and I have no issues connecting with the station. The ford pass app connects to it as well. I don't think the issue is related to only the software. I have not used the station to charge since June however, and it was powered off almost the entire...

I have received the new 2.500 software and everything appears to be working fine. I can see the info in the charge station pro app and it is showing a ready to charge status in Ford pass app. One note is that I have never had it above 64A in its 3.5 year lifetime. For the last 18 months it has...

I was in Lebanon NH twice where I used the EA at Walmart. They were still like $0.59 / kWh and I think the most expensive on the whole trip. We did go to Wendy's nearby and the staff was extremely friendly.

I use ABRP for the planning part, and then share each location to google maps for navigation. Other than trying to route me over the GW bridge by NYC, it does a great job at picking and estimating stops. We usually beat the plan by about 30 minutes on the long days. I do wish it had a way to...

In my 2023 when you unplug it goes to accessory mode. You have to hold the brake and press the on button again. This also shuts off the AC and Pro-power.

I recently completed my second 5000+ mile road trip. For the record I went from Texas -> Maine -> Martha's Vineyard -> Connecticut -> New Hampshire -> Vermont -> Maine -> Connecticut -> Tennessee -> Texas. My opinions and thoughts in no particular order of importance: There are lots of...

I appreciate the update but the minimum required power needs to be lowered. I have an awesome cooler and it pulls less than 100w. It’s in use almost every weekend and I turn off the lights and AC for hours at a time. I’d love not to have to do that anymore but this new feature still won’t work...

What happens if you have a generator plugged into the bed charge port, and you also hook up something on the regular charge port (either AC or DC) at the same time?

I am totally ok with the "I just want a change and can afford it" analysis. I bought this truck, my solar system, and my home backup battery V2X all with the same argument. Most people are not honest with themselves about how few financial decisions have a ROI, and how unnecessary that...

On topic to this discussion, I really don't understand going from a lightning over to a Rivian. It certainly is not a financial decision. The only rational answer I have seen is the person who needed the vehicle to fit in their garage. Even that for me would have been to park in the driveway...

The Rivian's currently work with Signergy V2X system.

Yes this system is very flexible and seamless in operation, so it works for many use cases. My system has 3 batteries and a V2X split across 2 inverters. When I have a power outage, the stationary batteries alone can hold the house all day with full 5 ton AC load in Houston TX. I can plug in...

The setup really depends on the use case and your energy profile through the day. What you can do also depends on what you have within a stack. The inverter itself can send or receive up to 11.4kW on the AC line back to your panel. That does prove to be a limiting factor in many cases. For...
