Before I go down this road, with this plugin can you change the appearance? I've used torque before but I don't care much for the dials and prefer just a grid with numbers a la car scanner.

Following... I also feel the console shifter is wasted space/annoying to the point that I never ever use the armrest work surface. That god awful noise of the motor... ugh.

Does anyone have any experience/recommendations for other brands of BLE+ devices? I bought the veepeak last year, did not really use it much at all in the past like 8 months, tried to use it for a trip last week and struggled to get it to connect/even see the device so I think it is now broken.

Hmmm... have the Bosch Icon and RainX blades always been that expensive? ~$30 per blade? That's crazy. I think I will probably just go with the Costco special... Michelin blades for $6-8 per blade.

How did you come to this conclusion? I was under the impression most systems would fall back to a resistive heating element (though I think in Tesla's case they use the motors as the resistance, same idea though).

If you understood how the studies are done you'd realize attribution error is a huge thing. This statement in particular is ridiculous. If you google this question, you can find some links that say homes with EV chargers sell for 13% more, but that doesn't mean it is the EV charger itself that...

I think by far I've seen the most negative complaints of the Grizzl-e chargers... might have just been the refurbs but a lot of scorching/burning up reports. Uh, I find it hard to believe you have any reliable method to prove that point. The most expensive part of installing an EV tends to be...

The truck has a limit of 12 amps on 120v (this is regardless of the EVSE supplying 24amps off a TT-30 or whatever 120v connection)... so the whole point of the 240v conversion is to allow the truck to charge faster than ~1.1k-1.2kw. 240v and 12a would give you somewhere around 2.2-2.4kw...

Yeah I think that's obvious. I was not saying let us pull 24 amps on the Ford Mobile charger, more like the juice that I tried last year for camping.

Oh that's a cop-out and you know it :p This park does have 50 amp sites, but my spouse booked it and didn't know (in the future I will be asked at booking time to look over the site info). But still at least in my neck of the woods TT30s are way more common at campgrounds.

Agree to disagree I guess. There are other EVs on the market that let the vehicle limit the charging (the mini is one example). It severely gimps the truck. I'm sitting here at a campsite with a TT30 and forced to use 11/12a, not even going to the 80% 24 amps, if I could increase to 16a or 20a...

Yep, same. I have solar with enphase microinverters, just waiting to see what their system is going to be vs go ahead with DIY and using the truck just for longer outages via generator port.

I did a week's worth of routine driving, got 2.8 mi/kWh over 220 miles. Edit: this includes maybe an hour or so of idling with AC on.

Emporia is cheaper, with the same or better features and still has great build quality.

Oh shiiiiiiiii I thought we lost that with every other card like 3 years ago. I tend to use the unlimited for most purchases so that is great to know.

Which card? None of my chase visa cards have any extended warranty anymore. Amazon prime, freedom, freedom unlimited, ihg, sapphire reserve.

Camping right now and starting to look at utilizing the pro power... Induction cooktop and a plug in cooler (dometic is what I'm looking at right now) seem like logical things to start with.

I agree, and literally just came across this issue today. Especially odd is that, with the truck locked, the remote let me open the frunk with the 2x button press, and then kept the truck locked and wouldn't let me use the frunk button to close it. Odd decision on Ford's part.

I don't know what I was expecting, but I just have to say... the comments here from the foxnews article on this is just, ah man there's a lot of work to do with educating the frequenters over there: https://www.foxnews.com/auto/how-far-electric-f-150-haul-load-aaa I'm not really gonna argue...

Not yet... been a lot busier lately than I expected.
