I don't see how I can use it at all while in deep sleep mode....currently, the app does nothing. Deep sleep shuts down all communication.....in spite of batteries being fully charged.....dumb!
Oh, so if the seat belt is buckled it won't auto go into park when opening the door?
Yes, I ALWAYS have my seat belt buckled....I grew up with seat belts since 1955 when my dad, who was a test pilot, put them in our car....long before they were required.
But, on backing up slowly to fit in a...
Very cool....we'll done....well, except for the initial error. But I don't get how it even happened. Everytime I open the door when the truck is moving it goes into park. It's very frustrating when you're opening the door to see where you're going. Did you change something to keep it from...
OK, thanks....you're correct indeed. However, it's strange that the deep sleep started after just 2 weeks and, what the heck, we're "trying to reduce the loads on the HVB?" What loads? The LVB is fully charged and on trickle charge and the HVB is at 80% and plugged into a level 1 charger set to...
Thanks all.
First, I can't turn on anything via the app as suggested...it's in deep sleep.
But I don't know why it would go into deep sleep when both batteries are at full charge. It seems to me that deep sleep would be triggered more to battery voltage.
And I haven't seen anything in the...
So I go to Georgia and Florida from my home in CA for 6 weeks. In preparation I leave my Lightning at 80% (yes, should have run it down to 50% but didn't have time) and set my 120v level one charger at 50% so, if somehow it drops it will never get below 50% as it would start charging again...
Thanks Javier, Yes I realized the updates failed, but why doesn't it tell me why or how to fix it? Why is there so little info on anything? It must know why it failed.....at the very least some kind of error code to look up. You say you can determine the error with the VIN. Is that because you...
This truly is frustrating.....the Tesla system is SOOOO much better.
It seems that I never even get a complete update. It took 6 months before I got any updates. Now I've seen two 6.2 and 6.4, but neither one was completed (see attached photos). If it's not complete, what option do you have? It...
My situation was a bit different....I have 3 EVs in my garage and need charging access for all of them (my Lightning is in my workshop that has its own charger). Because I needed to get to all 3 vehicles, I mounted my charger (a ChargePoint in this situation) in the center and built a rotating...
Of course the truck doesn't have a "ground" ground....if you know what I mean, but I assume the truck frame is a ground for for the pro power electrical circuitry on the truck (and the 12v too, I guess).
As for the GFI protection, I'm not a "professional", but yes, with 120v circuitry it is...
Yes, as I stated previously, we had a 4 hour outage a few weeks ago....I backed my truck up to my panel, opened main breaker and solar input breaker, hooked up cord, closed main breaker and started lightning Pro Power. It took 5 mins to set up and powered entire house (avoiding AC and large...
OK, here's the back up power cable supplied by PG&E....it has a standard twist-loc plug for connecting to the Lightning and, what I assume is a standard generator input connector on the other end. Yes, there are four conductors at each end of the cable....L,N,L, and ground. I checked continuity...
What even ARE any of the Ford options? Are they Ford generators?
All I know is that I did have one of the generators listed so signed up for the program....a PG&E contractor came out about three weeks later and installed it in about 5 mins and left the cord and a basic instruction sheet (no...
To Wsh68 and frautumn,
Yes, PG&E has a list of acceptable generators and fortunately mine was on the list...so I was approved. But, as was stated, no one ever confirms your generator....not PG&E or the installer. Also of note, I did see a list of compatible generators elsewhere that...
Thanks for sharing, but I don't see how this test can work. My understanding is that the generator (or Lightning) connector isn't even active unless the transfer switch has activated, which can only happen when grid power goes away. There is no user way to make the grid power go away as it's all...
To William...Thunterfamily,
Thanks for your comments. Yes, everybody's situation is different and my thoughts are theoretical and simplified.....but possible??
My main home is on the central coast of CA, but I also spend a lot of time in yes, rural Georgia where I have 4 grandchildren!
But...
I would be using ProPower only to feed my main panel...of course not trying to backfeed through it...yes, it's not bi-directional. But, because it's feeding my main panel, I can then plug in my Emporia charger and plug in the Lightning to charge. Since the solar also feeds the main panel and...
