The circled one here is V3 and is not open to NACS (from Tesla's map). The icon for NACS open chargers is the one in the top right corner of the image. (@bmw325_num99 tagged so you see this)

Complaining about something besides the adapter reservation process... Seems Tesla didn't open any of the superchargers that I was hoping they would that would have improved options on the trips I would want to take despite those superchargers being V3. That kinda sucks.

Funny story, it's actually only weaker in that you need the adapter setup. In this thread we learned that those "20 AMP" outlets are actually perfectly content providing 30 amps, or at least they were when it was posted. I certainly don't suggest doing that, but seemed relevant.

The single 240V plug is doing the exact same thing that you are going with your combiner/adapter, so it's not at all surprising that the voltage between the "A" plugs and the "B" plugs is 240V. All you need to do to prove the second point is plug something in and observe the pro power screen...

FWIW, you CAN get 9.6kW from the truck without the HIS, but 2.4kW of it must come from the 120V inverter that is provided in the Frunk or interior of the truck. A conceivable setup here might be having backup to most of your circuits from the 240V plug via a transfer switch and then powering...

It's very important to note that you can't combine the 120V outputs of 2 inverters to get 240V power just because it's a "different phase". They need to be synchronized to be exactly (or at least very, very close to) 180deg out of phase, meaning their peaks are opposite, which is where the 240V...

Can you provide any details on the specs of your central AC? I'm considering whether to wire up our small basement AC in a similar setup to yours, but I'm worried it will have the same issue.

Your lifetime efficiency doesn't tell us anything about recent behavior. Even just looking at the "Current Trip" view would be more useful. I'd still recommend trying my suggestion to calculate miles per reported battery percentage. The only other DIY thing that would be useful would be to buy...

Have you recorded what your consumed percentage was on a few trips? As somebody else mentioned, because it's an SR, the math is really easy to check. Write down battery percent at beginning of trip, then divide miles driven by battery percent consumed at the end. You should get something better...

One possible cause for detecting a ground fault would be a ground fault. Maybe try testing for any shorts to ground with the switch set to generator. Have you confirmed that your pro power works outside of this transfer switch system (powering something from the 240V plug)?

I'd bet the difference is just that the 2 subsystems were engineered by different teams/vendors who did not have the same set of requirements. I would suggest trying not to think about it so much because it seems really unlikely to change. Might as well invest that energy in wiring up a 20amp...

Didn't really mean to kick off so much anxiety here, just wanted to reduce some potential risk of fire in the future. The way this is protected in your home is by having a breaker set for the houses wiring, but you could use a 15 amp extension cord on a 20 amp outlet in your home and achieve...

Glad that the truck came to save the day! Assuming I am reading correctly and you were using a single 120v outlet with 1 extension cord, I would suggest using 2 extension cords next time. 2600 W or ~22 amps is not safe to run on most typical 120V extension cords. I'm frankly surprised the truck...

https://www.crescentford.com/new-High+Point-2023-Ford-F+150+Lightning-Platinum-1FT6W1EVXPWG05377 $15k markup is pretty ridiculous given current market conditions.

True indeed. I've been harassing my local dealers for the last month and this week one of them sold me a '22 Lariat SR at '22 MSRP with a $1500 "dealer option" which is well under '23 pricing and only marginally more than the 312a XLT SR I would have wanted to order. Plus I have a heated...

A heat pump system combined between the AC and air handler might be over 50A of MCA if it includes a beefy resistive heating element for aux/emergency. One of my systems combines to something like 64A, but 40A of that is the resistive heat kit. I bring that up because in researching all of...

Here's the window sticker if anybody is interested in what options it has or how much over MSRP they are asking for a used car.

That's a good set of cars you have there... Our current set of cars: 2021 XC40 Recharge 2019 XC90 (T6, not PHEV) 2018 Tacoma (to be replaced by Lightning eventually) 2011 Cayman

That's true. Here's my theory on why it's bad that I don't necessarily have the expertise to claim: The truck's neutral is tied to ground at the truck and the house's neutral is tied to the house ground, which are not necessarily the same. This voltage difference can mean a couple of things...

At a minimum, the truck will not detect and react to ground faults.
