On the routes I travel between Arizona and NE Oregon, the longer gaps between chargers are in 180 mile range, but there are a few of those gaps that will be shortened up soon with the addition of a few very expensive Pilot/Flying J/GM/EVGo locations. My preferred travel route, through the Great...

ISO 15118 is a family of protocols related to EV charging. Since the V2X portions of this protocol are just barely getting to be properly defined, it is very unlikely that the existing programming on our trucks will support ISO standard V2X as they sit. If we a VERY lucky, Ford/Chevy/Rivian...

I‘ve been gone a couple weeks and yesterday was the 1st I’ve driven the truck since I got back. While we were at the store, it installed the window update and when we got home from the store, it installed BC 1.4. I was surprised that there were no settings in the menus, until I read in the...

In my driving, it seems like the hours that the HOV lanes are in effect, already allows me to use them most of the time, Except I never drive 85+, so I’m always having to move back out of the HOV lane to get out of the way of the flow of fast-lane traffic.

I went through the process, as others have an got the web success message, followed by the unable to process message. What my account shows now is that it still expires at the end of the trial, but it will auto-renew at the end of the trial for $0 per year, so I think it worked. I suspect I am...

Tesla only supports NACS at selected sites (about 60% of supercharger sites) Telsas charging at superchargers do not use NACS, they use Telsa’s proprietary CAN based communication. Ford is supporting NACS (via the adapter at this time.) Telsa is, by design, keeping 40% of their network private...

Just a comment, the Lightning does not charge faster when you arrive at a low state of charge like a Tesla does. You’ll generally see your best charging performance if you arrive above 15%. On road trips I target 20% for each stop and generally charge to 79% each stop and I arrive on the high...

I also got the AM radio tab added today and mine also doesn’t work. When I select it, it does nothing.

All V4 dispensers have Magic Dock, because it’s more cost effective and versatile to have all of them be the same. 40% of Tesla superchargers are not open to non-Tesla because that is their strategy. I believe they do the absolute bare minimum necessary to honor their agreements with the...

The screenshot is from the app “A Better Route Planner” which is commonly abbreviated ABRP. The premium version works over CarPlay and Android Auto. It communicates with the car through an OBDII Bluetooth connector to get real time consumption from the truck and tunes you profile to match your...

Tesla has been very consistent for the last several months. As they bring brand new sites online (V3/V4 without technical limitations.) 60% of the sites support NACS and 40% of the sites are Tesla only. This is quite consistent with the overall % of supercharger sites that support NACS and...

We can start with a screenshot of the best I have found to date. 1) Auto plans routes, with charging stops, including whichever networks you want to use and excluding those you don’t 2) Dramatically more accurate prediction of state of charge at arrival to charger, displayed front and center...

I got the Lasfit mat set (front and rear) from Amazon about 18 months ago. Both The front and Rear mats fit very well and lay flat nicely. I have no regrets, very good value and great quality.

It sounds like the app talking to the servers is working fine, it just sounds like the truck isn’t reporting current status to the servers. If I see that the status is not updating, I usually send a door lock command to the truck, which seems to get it to refresh

No, I haven’t used V12, since I don’t drive an EV expressly designed around the hardware that V12 needs in order to be able to function. Tesla is struggling to make it work on the CT, which is designed around it’s requirements. I have a hard time believing it will be working on a Ford anytime soon

I have Autocharge+ set up on my Lightning, so I just plug in and it bills to my EVGo account automatically

Same experience here. No discounts at the Flying J EVGo stations

As others have stated, the Tesla UWC does bi-directional AC charging/V2H, but it does not apparently conform to any standard and is almost certainly entirely proprietary. I don’t think the standards for V2H/V2G are finalized yet. Most of the solutions I’ve seen that are aligning to the...

Tesla can’t even make FSD work in the all of their own vehicles, that were presumably designed with all the proper hardware, in exactly the right locations to support it. I think it is very optimistic to think that anything other than a ground up redesign, with essentially Tesla hardware, will...

I used mine this weekend for a trip from Phoenix to Laughlin, then Vegas, then back to Phoenix. Charged 4 times in total. Quartzsite supercharger is AWESOME. Laughlin is problematic with most stations ICE’d. White Hills and Kingman were great. I bought this one because I also have an Audi...
