During the media dinner, they did mention that there are some areas of future locations where Solar and grid scale battery storage are part of the plans. Hopefully that does become more common although itās not yet the majority of sites by any means.
It was awesome to get to meet you and a couple others who I have only been able to interact with in the forums, chats and groups. Thanks for making the drive down man and bringing your awesome Lightning!
ā”Huge congratulations to Josh & Jessie who met and developed the idea as part of our community on opening PowerUp America Site #1 in Manchester, Kentucky! It was an honor to celebrate with so many great people in the EV community!

The harness comes from Putco but is for the gas F150 and is too short and 2 pins are swapped so in Martins video (which is linked at the end of mine and in the description of mine) he shows how he made the extension we used and which wires to take power from. He doesnāt sell the harness himself...
In fairness, Iām not sure it was the Putco install but it was a concern of Fordās and they removed the Lightning as a supported truck for it on the Ford website after my problems but I also had the rear light bar and the entire 12v harness replaced (twice) and a HV battery module replaced and...

MartinRebuilds made the journey from Kansas to California as we re-engineered the Putco Light Up Ford Emblem install for the Ford Lightning!
No pinched wires, notching, drilling, or fuse box tapsājust clean OEM headlight power.

Would definitely love to hear how it goes and what your SOC was if you can remember to note it. Iām curious if there is a pattern we can discover for when itās successful and derated
You canāt if there are not 2 spots to occupy which their werenāt in my first video, or in my Vegas roadtrip stop at Kettleman City or in San Leandro or in this video when you watch it. You canāt take spots that donāt exist.
I have one in the original video and show it in the short I made at Kettleman City. I also took them when I tested at Gateway near Lucid but cut out that in the interest of time. The external thermals were actually lower than I was getting in Kettleman city when I didnāt have an issue but the...
Yeah these attempts were all started below 10% and the successful ones were higher but I havenāt absolutely confirmed if thatās part of it or what that threshold might be. Itās expensive and time consuming to test just because it takes about a week to get back low enough to charge and then Iām...
After 3 successful tests, I went out to retest the Tesla Supercharger Extension Cable after seeing @TomMoloughneyās findings. What followed was a bizzar day.
Random unrelated 12V faults that found me in an AutoZone parking lot.

Yo-yo charging.

My road trip to Vegas video is now live! I successfully test the Hansshow Tesla extension cable, ABRP reroutes me and leads to an amazing surprise, then we score some free charging before arriving in Vegas! š
šØ Note: While I successfully used the extension cable 3 different times, Tom...
You can do Google Maps but itās not integrated and linked with the trucks BMS like it is with Android Auto or how Apple Maps attempts to and does poorly. Itās basically navigating but not showing you real time battery percentage, estimated performance at arrival or route planning based on that...
