My truck has developed a small "blacked out" area (about the size of a pea, with a "shadow" trailing away from it towards the truck body) in its 360 camera view. It's pretty much directly away from the front right (passenger side) corner of the truck. There must be something on the camera...

I wonder if they even sold 40 HIS systems honestly. I guess they must have.

Ooooh I'd be very, very careful about that with no way to synchronize the inverters. It's asking for trouble.

Can the inverter in the HIS actually supply 100A (when it works at all)? The marketing materials available when I bought my Lightning quoted a decidedly lower figure.

Our air conditioner outside air intake and blower housing filled up with water when debris got in the drains in that area. We cut down the pine tree that used to hang over our parking spot, but a few months later residual crud we evidently hadn't managed to clean out did it again. This time it...

I don't know about the FCSP but we are about 50' from the transformer feeding a long run up the mountainside with about 100 houses on it, and we routinely see 250-253V instead of the nominal 240 - about a 5% difference. Neither our Tesla wall chargers (the old 80A Gen 2 models) nor the onboard...

Tesla onboard chargers will accept 277V single-phase and older Tesla EVSEs were rated for it. That's 22kW. I don't know if Ford's equipment - in the truck or their branded Siemens EVSE - can handle 277V without blowing up and I don't think I'd try it.

Do they actually dig in aggressively enough to help if all 4 wheels are on ice? Might depend on the particular wheel chocks. I have a rubber coated pair around here somewhere that I use when I have to put more of me than I'd like under a vehicle up on a jack, and I think they'd slide on ice...

I think part of the reason I'm less bothered by the awful Ford nav experience than others is that our first few years with a Tesla in 2015 heavily conditioned me to use PlugShare and ABRP whenever travelling somewhere I don't have full comfort that I know where the chargers are. Back then the...

Guessing yes, though, interestingly, I have what may or may not be the same issue (see above - I was able to add locations in Sync though not FordPass while others can't add them at all) after manually applying all available module updates (except BCM) to my truck about a month ago via FDRS. I...

Is the "it" here the ford nav software? All I can say really is just don't use it. Its tendency to suggest insane "corrections" when it decides its original (likely very poor) trip plan was wrong is only one of its many flaws. Try a segment of your trip with ABRP and/or PlugShare. It might...

I don't understand, really. You decided not to use the charging technology (there's nothing new about it, public DC fast chargers have existed for 10+ years) that exists in the market specifically to enable long trips, and therefore long trips are not for you? I mean, it's your car and you...

I've always had trouble changing location settings in the truck or in the app while charging. I added the locations back while unplugged, after charging at them previously; they showed on the truck display but not in the app. Then, after exiting and restarting the app, I was able to set the...

I wasn't able to add locations in the app but adding them in the truck did work for me.

It's not a big deal. In much of the rest of the world, entire homes are on a master GFCI. Home chargers there still work fine.

I applied everything available via FDRS about a month ago and had this problem immediately thereafter. It took me weeks to figure out what to do. In the end it turned out using the menus in the truck, instead of in FordPass, let me add charging locations again. Unfortunately it is now...

I was pretty happy with my Lightning in the snow, in upstate NY, in 1-pedal mode, this weekend. I do have snow tires, though.

I mean, I can't even...how can their release process for an application that really has such a small number of user-exposed controls be such that 5.10 goes out with two of them completely disabled, and then 5.10.1 ships with them working kind-of-sometimes-if-you-try-repeatedly? Do they have no...

I am getting messages in the notifications screen of the app that Plug&Charge has been activated even though I switched it off and want it off for reliable use of my Tesla and EA discount plans. Meanwhile we need to turn it back ON on the Mach E so an older relative who needs the convenience...

I'm aware of all that. Try to find a "normal" 18" tire that's rated for our vehicles and actually is close enough in size to the 20" stock to not cause annoying speedometer error. Not easy. I was expressing my mild surprise that that doesn't result in an issue with the 18" temp spare when...
