2224 on the way! 2 weeks too late for our two big trips this year, but that’s ok. Still a win going forward.

This is literally 2 miles from my house. They’ve been expanding it for months. A year ago there would be 20-30 cars. Now the whole lot is full. Usually it dwindled at quarter end. This time it didn’t. Just kept growing. There is a Tesla dealer 2 miles away. Another 30-40 cars sit on that lot at...

I’d say this is like watching the grass grow but this time of year the grass is growing fast. Certainly faster than this rollout. My continued fear is Tesla is in control of this. And they want to slow roll the impacts. There’s no reason Ford would want to warehouse thousands of adapters...

There’s a small number of Aprils left (less than 500). It looks like whatever caused the roughly 300+ #7800 orders to get theirs is why they missed their total April numbers. The question is the size of the next batch ship out. The first public shipment was around 1500 units. Hoping the next...

Ok. Officially driving to Ames on May 9th. Hoping to have the adapter by then as it will save me an hour each way. They’ve clearly decided to slow roll so will continue to monitor. The April ones went out at end of first week, so hoping the May ones ship a week earlier around 4/25-4/26. Just...

What number are you - didn’t see it when I did a quick scan of the sheet but I’m on my phone. Will have to ask my wife to check her fedex account for the house.

If stateside manufacturing then there’s even less reasons to throttle other than Tesla requirements. Storing adapters vs drop shipping them is a waste of money… of course if Tesla is making them in Buffalo at the Supercharger facility they’d fully control the rate and would be willing to...

Not a promising week. Seems like a drop shipment of about 1500 (1000 to early reservations and a random amount to #7000+) and then nothing. Would imply we are gonna wait a couple weeks until the next shipment arrives from China. Hopefully that one is a much larger one. The other possibility is...

Shhhhh… you’ll jinx it and they’ll skip us and start shipping to the 7000s!!! Oh wait… 😂😂

Hopefully they ship steadily from this point forward. A couple hundred a week and we don’t sit until May while they build up inventory and do another large drop.

We are considering a June trip of St Louis to San Antonio with stops in OKC, Fort Worth and Waco. The charge adapter is the only way we will consider taking the truck. Supposed to get it in May but will see. Also have a trip to Ames, Iowa to get the daughter home from college at beginning of...

I’m at 2224 and doing the same. Convinced mine will be here soon, followed by sad shuffling and bemoaning how it will never get here. Then wife says you don’t need it until May you’ll be fine. Dammit… I don’t need her positivity right now! Then I look at that batch of 7000s and I panic they...

It was always a mistake to assume EVs would be cheaper per mile than gas. When supercharging was free and L2 was enough to get around town this was mostly true. But as soon as free superchargers went away and vehicle battery size made L2 impractical except for overnight home use, the market was...

I just need to get a few more rows down that list!!! LFG!!! And stop shipping to the 7000s!! They need to wait their turns! 😂

Might as well throw mine in since I wake up every morning and it’s the first thing I check… haha 1FT6W1EV7PWG08740 I tend to get updates in waves. Last update was March 17 - connectivity.

That’s a really good call out. The Silverado is in the low .3 range. Actually rated lower than Cybertruck and about equal to R1T. F150L is .4 so a good chunk higher. So really at the end of the day it seems the Lightning trade offs are most impacted by higher speeds and wind, but undeniably...

I’m thinking it’s wind. I’m in the Midwest where wind is either strong and constantly in your face no matter what direction you drive or it’s 0. I get either 1.7 - 1.8 at 70 or 2.1-2.2 and that’s driving the same way and same roads at similar temps, only difference is wind. I’ve driven EVs...

I’ll test it tomorrow morning and see if it changes. I’ll keep you updated. Good news is (depending on where you are) we are in the window where remote start is less important for a few months.

Ok I tried it with auto-auto 5 and my original setting of 15. Both worked. 2023 LARIAT ER. The latest update was 6.4 prior to this one.

I received it and it installed on March 17. So definitely not paused.
