Yep. This happened with our daughter's Benz as well.
Harley-Davidson dropped the telematics and app support for my ELW Livewire less than 3 years into the ownership experience.
As long as everything works and the app is actively maintained, I really don't need a constant stream of vehicle software updates. I'd rather have stability and performance versus some new fangled nonsense landing every few weeks. It's a truck.
That's not to say that I don't appreciate updates...
The thermal stresses of DC fast charging is way overplayed. Studies have shown DC fast charging isn't nearly as detrimental to battery life as people once thought. Modern EVs like our Lightnings are quite good at managing temperatures across the modules. It's not like a phone or laptop where the...
That difference in charging rates is not my experience, but then again, I have only been through 20 states on EV road trips. Your assertion is probably true somewhere.
Personally, I like having a nicer interior, more usable cabin space, plus a more useful frunk and more functional bed. Plus, in...
Thanks. Yeah, that I-70 corridor is especially nice now with those IONNA chargers. It's good to hear that one is coming to Limon. It should give that expensive Pilot GM charger some competition.
With your IONNA contacts, please let them know that the 7AM-7PM hours for lounge access at Reynoldsburg, OH is not awesome. It was frustrating for us to not be able to access the lounge at 7:30PM. It was broad daylight outside. We had to walk over to the Waffle House to use a restroom. It should...
Thanks! I will keep an eye out for the events.
I was jumping up and down like a kid with excitement over the IONNA chargers. We used them in Goodland (KS), WaKeeney (KS), Abilene (KS), Blue Springs (MO), Reynoldsburg (OH) -- all of them are along I-70. These sites all just recently opened up...
Most of it was 70-75MPH
Lots of Blue Cruise. Typically, I locked Blue Cruise in at 70MPH, because that fit the flow of traffic and the truck is significantly more efficient at 70 vs 75.
That being said, Kansas was Blue Cruise at 75MPH.
We passed a lot of trucks not able to maintain 70MPH up...
This 100%. There are areas in the Midwest where all of the options are CCS with no Superchargers to be found. Adapters will be with us for years to come. If my truck had a NACS charging port, a CCS adapter would be seeing much more action than my NACS adapter.
Our recent college graduate landed a job in Fort Collins Colorado. So, we loaded up her stuff into the truck and hit the road. I've regularly done long trips (1000 miles or so) in the Lightning since taking delivery in 2023. The truck currently has over 45k miles. It's a rapid red metallic...
