My Lightning is long gone and the Charge Station Pro was explicitly not part of that deal.
I have been talking with SunRun for 4 months about the getting them to send the unit (most of which I was in possession of the truck).
Only within the couple weeks I was told that they need Ford to mark...
Here is a recording.
The sound is present whenever the truck is on. Seems to come from under the steering wheel. I can hear it while driving too.
Does every truck make this noise?
Today I drove a 4 mile round trip, started at 66% and ended up at 60%. The truck showed 3.6 m/kWh. I didn't look at the SoC in the truck because it's only available on the calm screen. Instead I noted the starting charge state in the app this morning before driving.
I've noticed this a couple...
I have felt ear pressure while driving the Lightning, kind of like pressure buffeting except the windows are up. The first couple hundred miles were fine, but it has gotten gradually more uncomfortable over time. I tried driving with airpods in, and the result is the same so I suspect the issue...
TL;DR
Use Plug & Charge every time. Yes, it doesn't allow use of the Electrify America Pass+ discount plan, but it doesn't matter. Plug & Charge takes care of the initiation handshake and greatly improves the experience. A few extra bucks per session is well worth the luxury of having the...

Ran a single extension cord to the house and powered the following:
Heated blankets

From what I know Blue Oval consolidates payment systems from several charger brands into one system with the credit card set up in the Ford Pass app, most importantly allowing for Plug & Charge.
Since they do not use the Electrify America pass+ account info the session costs are much greater...
Just took my ER on a 5 station trip yesterday. Not once did I get even 150 kW, let alone 170 kW.
The stops were 125, 90, 138, 138, 125.
Weather was 70s to start, then 60s by the later charges. Truck was driven 125 miles before the first stop and temps showed dead center on the instrument...
Long time EV owner here. Been spending the past week in a RAM 1500 5.7. Amazing vehicle, especially for the money. Comfortable, minimal wind noise up to 85 mph. Engine is silent too when cruising, less than 2k RPMs up to 90 mph.
Lightning owners who have owned a RAM 1500 who does it compare...
