  1. Advice needed on minor accident

    A tractor trailer carrying heavy machinery dumped a big chunk of rock at the truck. The hood is damaged but I think it missed the windshield. If it did hit it after the hood, I didn't notice any cracks. The tractor trailer had both tags covered but I contacted the company. They said do you...
  2. What folks with failed HVB modules have in common

    People that have already had failed HVB modules, please share your charging and driving habits. All of our HVB packs have cells that are closer to the edge than others. I am trying to see what conditions pushes them over the edge. Of course some packs have cells that are more suicidal than...

  4. Using NACS adapter in Canada?

    Has anyone from U.S. has done a DCFC at supercharger in Canada with either plug and charge or Tesla App? I have a trip coming up and could use tips for planning. The Canadian chargers show on my Tesla app. Do I need Canadian apps or accounts to use superchargers there?

    I have had no accidents or tickets but in the past year my insurance has increased by 25% for cars with depreciated value in that period.

  6. What is your SOH? Milage? and how do you use your Battery?

    My SOH dropped to 98.5% around 6K and now at 9K immediately after a 1 minute 4kWh supercharging (at 168kW), SOH dropped to 98%. Battery temp was around 70. Ambient temp was in 60s. And I have extra cooling in my pro. I have no idea why this short charging session should shave off my SOH...
  7. Stolen and Barbecued Lightning

    I searched on the forum and could not find anything about this. With all the EVs on the road, I though hating may have died down. This happened last October to a YouTuber so I can't help thinking EV hate may have something to do with it. Any of you have experienced animosity because someone...

  9. Last gasp for my Ford mobile charger ?

    I have been using my Ford mobile charger as home charger for the past year. I always knew that is not what it is designed for but I have a better mobile charger and wanted to get as much use out of this as possible. It has been working fairly well and has been reliable. But lately, it does...

  11. Ford Pass new Terms and Privacy Policy agreement.

    Have any of you guys actually read this? Any lawyers in the house? What rubs you the wrong way the most? What does me tapping on “I accept” mean in real life when Ford (or someone they shared my data with) do something screwed up with my data? If I don’t click on accept, how do I know if...
  12. Best Charging Practices?

  13. How to resume OTA updates?

    Background: My last at home update (PU306) was in summer (7/14). There were two recent updates on the run (according to Ford pass, PU0724 and then PU 6.1.0). The truck says my latest update is PU 6.2.0 but there is nothing in the app message center about this. Last night reading the posts...
  14. “This Trip” does not reset

    I have noticed recently “This Trip” does not reset when I have a stop. Not sure if it is a part of one of the new updates or I never really got how it thinks. Does the stop have to be longer than a certain number of minutes to reset? Does GPS has to see you return home to rest? Does anyone...
  15. Lightning Pro Center Console Light Mystery

    Mine does not seem to go off. It is like the old question; how do you know if the fridge light go off when you close it? Except thanks to mobile phone video camera, I checked mine and even after locking the truck completely when everything else goes off, this light still remains on. Does...

    Today, I took a day trip and when I started the day, I was not sure if I had to use a DCFC to get back so I drove a bit conservatively. I was pleased by the results (2.8 mi/KWh). That made me think we need a thread so we can share tips and tricks to stretch the range so if we are in a bind, we...
  17. DCFC in Canada for Americans?

    Do you guys have any tips for traveling to Ontario? I heard American EA app does not work there. In fact can I get away with charging without my phone? Or using any apps? Are some providers worse than others? Do any of you have a personal experience crossing the border with an EV?
  18. Charge port cover options?

    I have to charge in the rain outside once in a while and have been covering the charge port to be safe with temp rigs. Do you guys use anything off the shelf or home made that you are happy with (or unhappy with that I should avoid)? I have heard it should be safe charging in the rain but...
  19. Is charging in cold safe?

    I just read this post and it totally freaked me out: https://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/263036/why-charging-li-ion-batteries-in-cold-temperatures-would-harm-them#289735 He says charging bellow freezing even once can permanently mess up your battery and in addition to loss of life...
