We have a long range Model Y and a Lightning. The Lightning seems to have slightly better real world range than the Tesla. I can get an honest 300 miles of range in the Lightning with mixed city/rural highway driving. I usually do 270-280ish on the Y even through its rated for 320. Either one is...

Some of the older Tesla stations power share with an adjacent stall eg. 2A and 2B split capacity when two vehicles are plugged in. It’s something to watch when the stations are not busy and only a few people are charging. Or the truck battery could have reached a higher than ideal temperature...

Negative on a 2023 Lariat. I’m sure they’ll get it to me in 2026 just as my 3 year subscription expires 🙄

Is Google EV routing a thing? I know they did Apple Maps EV integration but haven’t heard of the google doing it also

We literally got Ford to figure out BlueCruise 1.4 updates before we got GTA 6 😂

10.1.1 did indeed break the 24 hour clock for me AGAIN. @Ford Motor Company It’s unbelievably frustrating when these bug fix software updates break as many things as they fix….

same - order 1200ish

It would be more efficient due to the lighter weight and less drivetrain energy losses. I’d imagine it would be similar to the Mach E and Tesla lineup where you get approximately 20 miles of extra range on a typical 300 mile vehicle. I most likely would have bought a single motor variant...

Darn at the rate I’m going I’d only get 400 years of service out of a V1 adapter….

There’s no active electronics in the adapters, so third party adapters like A2Z and Lectron have worked fine. It’s really only an interesting situation if something was damaged during a session and Ford or Tesla started asking questions after the fact.

Can someone explain to me why I’d pay anything for BlueCruise in its current 1.0 form? From my understanding the truck always has lane centering and TACC so it would literally be $500/yr so I don’t have to keep my hand on the wheel? That doesn’t seem like an incredible burden that’s worth the...

I’ll probably upgrade once the lightning hits 500-600 miles of range and 250+ kW charging speeds. Given the cost of these vehicles it’ll need to be a pretty healthy jump in specs. We would like to do a camper setup some day and that’s really the only area the current Lightning falls short. I’m...

This is certainly interesting. I haven’t had any issues up until this point with the Ford supplied adapter. I’ll update if I find any visual differences with the newer version

Sounds about right for 80 MPH. Backing it off to 70 will be a noticeable improvement since all of your energy consumption is fighting wind drag.

YES FINALLY I CAN CHECK MY DEF LEVELS!!!

To be fair, the Lightnings 150kw max rate is not much better than the Bolts 50kw rate once you consider the Lightnings battery is twice the size and will take on twice as much electricity in an equivalent charging session. Given that the Lightning is still firmly below average in charging...

For those of you using the OBDLink MX+, does the automatic sleep function work well? Are you comfortable keeping it plugged in all the time without draining the 12V battery even when the truck has to sit for a few days? Just got one and learning the ropes with it and Car Scanner

I can definitely see Teslas concern here - on my Model 3 charging at a 150kw station the handle gets extremely hot after more than 10 minutes of charging. I can see why it was mandatory for the 250kw stalls to have liquid cooled cables which actually seem to stay a bit cooler. I couldn’t...

Don’t forget Generator Mode as well

Sounds like you successfully updated the BECM in FDRS to a new version that complies with the CSP.
