if it has been doing fine it will probably keep doing fine. I’m curious how did you route the wire in to the fuse box?

In fairness, I’m not sure it was the Putco install but it was a concern of Ford’s 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...

A video 1 year and 2,000 miles in the making! ⚡️ 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 taps—just clean OEM headlight power. Don’t miss this...

Would definitely love to hear how it goes and what your SOC was if you can remember to note it. I’m curious if there is a pattern we can discover for when it’s successful and derated

You can’t if there are not 2 spots to occupy which their weren’t 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 can’t take spots that don’t 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 didn’t have an issue but the...

If anyone is going to get it right will be them!

Yeah these attempts were all started below 10% and the successful ones were higher but I haven’t absolutely confirmed if that’s part of it or what that threshold might be. It’s expensive and time consuming to test just because it takes about a week to get back low enough to charge and then I’m...

I really haven’t figured out why sometimes it’s been fine and other times not

After 3 successful tests, I went out to retest the Tesla Supercharger Extension Cable after seeing @TomMoloughney’s findings. What followed was a bizzar day. Random unrelated 12V faults that found me in an AutoZone parking lot. 180kW ➡️ 35kW derating and Yo-yo charging. Video live now. ⚡👇

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! 👇 🚨 Note: While I successfully used the extension cable 3 different times, Tom...

You can do Google Maps but it’s not integrated and linked with the trucks BMS like it is with Android Auto or how Apple Maps attempts to and does poorly. It’s basically navigating but not showing you real time battery percentage, estimated performance at arrival or route planning based on that...

I miss Android Auto and Google Maps. When my daughter got old enough she needed a cell phone to keep in contact i switched to iPhone for FaceTime just to make it easier for the family and Apple Maps is so bad

The lightning is an amazing road tripper for sure my favorite vehicle of all time. It’s definitely nice to have access to the full network of Tesla chargers, though especially if you’re lucky enough to have a Tesla that has free supercharging still. This was more of just a thought as I was...

⚡️🛻 Come along for an I-5 chat as I share why I went electric, what I love about EV ownership after 4 years, the biggest differences from gas vehicles, and why I think it’s okay if EVs aren’t for everyone. No hype. No politics. Just my honest experience. 👇

Makes me wonder if the sensor or board went bad. I’ve used mine 3 times so far haven’t had any failures but also never pulled as much as the Rivian does. Seems like something fried in that cable though.

We just did a Podcast with the CEO today as well they have a lounge they will be opening and more charging they will be adding. Also adding a Barstow Charger probably early next year followed by two more locations after that.

I didn’t stop at the new one yet that was my original plan and then they reminded me of this free option but I want to check out that new stop I here there are so good Tacos there!

Yeah Baker is similar with 2 Telsa and an EA. I know of a 3rd location being built out as well and there are also 2 Tesla locations there. Might have to get them on the podcast and see how their model works and their thoughts on placement. It’s interesting for sure.

Just no longer free but it will still be there and they mentioned there is another location they should be opening soon. No word on pricing yet.
