Just my luck. At the end of August I figured it was unlikely I would get the free adapter any time soon, so on August 30 I ordered an A2Z typhoon pro. A label was printed September 6th, but it hasn't shipped yet. Today I got a notice that a label for my free Ford adapter was printed and...
That particular one is rated at 375 lbs., but they make them rated as high 800 lbs. Though I am not sure I would want 800 lbs hanging 4 feet off the back of the truck
Here is a link to one rated at 750 lbs. That's the highest load rating I have seen. If you google hitch mount bed extender you will see a number of options available.
The bed extender makes the support out at 10 feet. Most of the beams were 12 but one was 16 feet. I had an orange flag on the end when I was on the road. Also 6 tie downs Crossing the lumber in the bed and tied to the bed extender as well. It was fine for the ten miles from the lumber yard...
I would have preferred an 8 foot bed. I saw some one else on the forum had a hitch mount bed extender which extends the bed out to 10 feet with the tail gate down or can be used with a headache rack for ladders, pipes ,lumber, etc. So I got one. Its comes apart and can easily be stored in the...
I also have a around four kilowatts of solar. I regularly charge my Truck at 12 amps using only the solar generated electricity unless I need to charge faster for a quick turn around. I have an older GE Durosation that is adjustable. 12 amp, 16 amps, 24 amps and 30. I have used all of these...
I have solar in California like you. Net metering is different here and there is still charges for importing vs exporting energy. So it cheaper to self consume then to export. My off peak rates are $0.26/kwh and on peak is $0.65. Charging off peak is still expensive. I produce around 40...
What he said ^^^
The industrial ones are slightly larger in diameter and significantly more expensive but worth it. Because of the larger in diameter they will need a new face plate as well.
You have to put in a reservation before June or they will not ship you a free adapter. After June the adapter will cost $200. There are threads on how to reserve one so I won't go into the details of that here.
No and yes. No it can't be used at the current time. Tesla must open their sites to each brand. Once Tesla allows access then the adapter will work. Currently only Ford and Rivian brands have access. The others will gain access over time.
According to the link they are only available for "Pre-Order". Which as far as I can tell just means they are willing to collect your money now and will send you one if they ever actually make any.
