FWIW, I just went through this replacement this afternoon. The BLIS sensor is a bit tricky. three screws remove the housing, but the wiring isn't long enough to fully disengage from the lamp housing, so you need at least two, maybe three, steady hands. One holds the housing, other removes the...

I wonder if it's possible to retrofit a higher powered wireless fast charger into the existing location. As is, that stupid thing basically functions as a wireless phone heater instead of a charger.

I was cautiously optimistic that it would be a week between my window update and the BC 1.4 update. That came and went today with no BC.

That's got to be from Car Talk

I still kinda regret not buying one. The dealer I went to had a Rapid Red and Atlas Blue in NEARLY the exact configuration. Turns out the RR truck was exactly what I was going to order anyway, and they had a $40k "Market Adjustment" markup on the AB. AB was still on their lot two years later...

Sorry bub, but you're late to the game. This service already exists. And I would short the s**t out of a new business that tried to start in this market. EV owners don't spontaneously "run out of charge". We plan and overcome. Aside from when you were a stupid teenager, how many times did...

1. How in the heck did you get the utility to give you a service drop for just an EVSE? 2. I'd bet your scenario would make you MORE likely to be selected. The program is trying to determine how big of an impact dispatching EV batteries can have on helping the grid during peaks. Having no...

FYI to all MA residents, the Clean Energy Center just opened up the application portal for their new Vehicle-to-everything demo program. Best guess is if you're chosen, they put in a new EVSE capable of backfeed, and you get some incentives kicked back for helping squash grid peaks. Only...

I'd just short of guarantee it's a comms issue. The Lightning initially was eligible for the Charge Smart MA program to incentivize off-peak charging. A few months later Ford decided to not share the backend charging data so the Lightning was pulled from the program. Very poor decision IMO.

To be fair, the state did not design the program very well. Only very select configurations of Lightnings are eligible with the key being a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating of 8500 or larger. My truck qualified by 50 lbs, but only because it was equipped with all season tires. If it had shipped...

I don't know all the trim levels, but there are at least two Pro Power Onboard versions. The 2.4 kW version only has 120V receptacles all around and 2.4 is the rating that could be pulled by plugging extension cords into the various receptacles. The 9.6 kW version has all the same receptacles...

Myself as well. EJ Zone across the street

Do it anyway. Don't tell them. Keep it within the margins if you're concerned (less than 25% increase). Most utilities, including Muni's, don't have the desire or resources to audit any of this. Sure you're usage will go down, but that's explainable by energy efficiency increases if they...

I really want to think that emoji is a punch to the face. I know its not, but I want it to be.

250 miles at 75 MPH is 3.33 hours. at 70MPH is 3.57 hours. That's 0.24 hours, or 14 minutes. Ive spent more than that debating what tires I should put on my snowblower. Worth it? Open question.

Never will understand the obsession with optimizing range when people also claim to driving 75 on the interstate. Dropping to 70 will add more range than any of these other aesthetic tweaks

My sales guy bragged that I could use my ford point for oil changes, lube jobs, and air filters. Long way to go bub.

Spare tire now optional. NACS adapter included 1 year of Blue Cruise No more On Board Scale or tow Tech package Meh. I will still maintain the 2022 ER Lariat in either Rapid Red or Atlas Blue was the best configuration ever available.

That red line at zero percent SoC was a useful add. And remember, we're getting Blue Cruise 1.4 by the end of the year. "What year?" you may ask, which is the best part, they won't tell us! Super hard to justify spending $800/year on BlueCruise when they won't let anyone try the new features...

Thanks for your insight. I have a hard time believing that I'm the first to have this issue. Which is even more surprising that we're up to nearly 300 pages on this thread and seemingly no one has brought this up. I'd continue on this diatribe, but I'm tired. I drove two hours round trip...
