So I tried to sleep in the truck, but even with the max-recline seats I still found it difficult. However after being in the truck for over 5 hours, my SoC only went down to 68%.
As I type this now, I am here in the campgrounds with 35 degree F windy weather and the low is supposed to get around 25F (not factoring in wind chill). I wasn’t expecting it to be this cold and windy however by 11PM I was shivering and not feeling well. Thank goodness I had my F150L with 73%...
Old thread, but why did Ford go with another brand vs just sticking with the Tesla made one?
I would assume it’s safe to use the Tesla version, but which one is safer?
I was invited too, however I declined since it was a stick-on camera and was worried about it ruining the defroster lines when we had to take it off.
If we could have kept the camera, I would have accepted it.
I just tried carvana as well for giggles (since my my offer was expired) and realized they had my truck set to the Pro trim vs Platinum. I sent them a picture of the window sticker, and we will see what happens.
2x 40A is fine for 100A circuit
2x 50A needs a 125A circuit.
For continuous loads (lasting 3 hours or more), you should not load a circuit breaker to more than 80% of its rated capacity to protect the circuit and prevent overheating.
Technically some EVSEs have this setting already there...
Really pricey, but I heard of wattzilla.

I heard that OpenEVSE might be working on something, but I haven't seen any updates.

Maybe I misunderstood, however he is saying that the new DAS system will be 2.1, while the other ones before that are 1.5. So if we don't have the new hardware, you are technically limited to 1.5.
I just got this update and an email as well. It appeared to stop my auto target charging, and it was "waiting" to charge which I found odd. I just started it, and it appears to be charging now.
It was only a small subset of EA users and the next batch will be sent out in the next several weeks. They take what they learned from this batch and correct any issues with the deployment.
With all these “free” subscriptions, Ford will get an idea of how popular BlueCruise is. Besides all the information that they get that gets uploaded after every drive.
