  1. PSA: Keep your Tesla NACS adapter cool

    This applies to charging with it too. Try to make sure the adapter is not in direct sun when charging. I had a session crap out on me Sunday after 10 minutes because the adapter overheated in the 100F direct sun. I've heard you can either get some kind of shade thing or cover the adapter with...
  2. ✅ 7/11/22 Lightning Build Week Group

    I'm still here. Still have mine, no mechanical issues other than I did have a wiper motor go dead (covered under the recall). My lightning isn't quite unscathed though. Back in September, a semi backed into it while I was parked. They ended up replacing the whole tailgate and one of the tail...

    Hey all, checking in, I forgot to check in on Friday, which was my 1 year anniversary of my blend date. Still have the truck and still loving the truck.
  4. Anyone have a reservation for Silverado EV WT ? With recent announcements, will you continue with an order for $60K+ EV truck ?

    It was directly said in the reveal that a 40k truck wasn't going to be available at launch anyway, so early reservations were never going to get it. But not surprised. I am also a early reservation holder, but not sure if I'll convert. I'm pretty happy with the Lightning and if I swap, sure...
  5. Munro predicts Ford will switch to NACS only (Tesla standard) based on their announcement from last week.

    The exact line in the specification is "The North American Charging Standard is compatible with Vehicle to X (i.e. Vehicle to load, Vehicle to home, vehicle to grid) power transfer. Future versions of this technical specification will specify the functional requirements and specifications...
  6. Different Tires on Stock Rims - 116 Load Index

    I ran into this trying to get winter tires, Costco wouldn't put Blizzaks on, because they have a load index of 115 and the Grabbers are 116 (so the door sticker says 116). Was really frustrating.

    Congrats! Glad your were able to get it before the end of the year!
  8. Snow tire problem on Lariat

    Our local discount tire is the worst. They've stripped studs and improperly mounted tires several times.
  9. Snow tire problem on Lariat

    So I can appreciate that they don't install something that doesn't meet spec, except they didn't catch it when they ordered the tires two weeks before the install date. Also, after looking into it more, the AT tires on the Lariat are 115 load index, they just derate the GVWR a bit to make up...
  10. Snow tire problem on Lariat

    Again, those are 115 load indexed tires, lightning with A/S tires from the factory need 116 tires to be compliant with their load sticker.
  11. Snow tire problem on Lariat

    Does anyone have a Lariat or XLT 312A that has the factory AT tires? I suspect they are rated at 115, which is why the trucks with the ATs have derated payloads.
  12. Snow tire problem on Lariat

    I ordered tires (Blizzaks DM-V2) through Costco and have run into a problem. The load sticker on the truck specifies that you need 275/60R20 116T tires, but the Blizzaks only come in 115R. Costco ordered the tires because their system said it would work, but they wouldn't install them when...

    If color is the issue, just wrap it.

    Why would you even consider keeping the 2023? It's objectively the worse vehicle, given it is missing features and costs more... You could flip the 2023, but it's up to you if it's worth it. If you think you can sell it, go through the process unless the dealer makes you sign a no sell...
  15. Outside Frunk Button not working

    There is a design flaw with the advanced keyless entry, the frunk, and the Blue Cruise package (I know that's something of a wild combo there). It turns out that the sensor used for passive unlock of the frunk with the advanced keyless entry is integrated with the parking radar sensor used for...
  16. Lower Range from Day 1

    Temperature below 50°F will reduce range. Both because you need to consider extra energy to hear the cabin and because the battery is less efficient at those temperatures.
  17. What are you plugging in to your On-Board Power outlets in your Lightning?

    My kid has an electric blanket in the back seat.
  18. ✅ 7/11/22 Lightning Build Week Group

    I'm around 3300 miles. Still loving it, but I still need to try taking over the pass on the winter. My GOM is giving the rather pessimistic 140 miles range @ 80% when it's below freezing and it's 82 miles from here to the nearest EA on the other side with 3500 ft of elevation up and down
  19. Quick question: is the steering wheel capacitive?

    It's a torque based wheel
