NACS will be irrelevant. They are following in the footsteps of Ford (adapter/full switch)

Can you expand on that? I don’t care how I connect to Tesla network as long as I have access to it. As it is for trips like Maryland to Ontario or Maine with my standard pack on CCS network, it is a bit of a crapshoot when I read the reviews on plugShare. When I look at the map if superchargers along my routs become available, I may be able to getaway with keeping the pro. As of now I am using the pro for local drives (less than 200 miles away) and use my wife’s ICE for longer trips.

If for some reason superchargers do not become available in 24 or it is too watered down, I may have to upgrade my pack (Silverado, Cybertruck, Rivian,…). What do you think about long distance travel with Pro in 24? Do you think I need a bigger pack regardless?

Ford and Rivian are both on the same timeline for switching to NACS and being able to use the Supercharger network in 2024. So it’s irrelevant as there’s no difference between the two trucks.

As for longer trips, it depends on the type of trips you take. On a 500 mile trip, it’s 1 stop on my ER or the R1T. It’s 3-4 stops on the Pro. If it was just me, I’d choose the 1 stop. If my family is in the truck, I’d be stopping 3-4 times anyway. For anything shorter than 350-400 miles, it doesn’t make much of a difference on SR vs ER IMO.

To do a 500 mile trip in 1 stop, you need to have a charger at almost the perfect right spot (especially in cold weather) and need to have charging at your destination. I do a ~450 mile trip (each way) with no L2 charging at my destination. It is 3 stops on the way down (2 along the way, and a final stop just before arriving to charge up for the week), and then 2 stops on the way home since I can charge at home. Just new good charger at the mid-point so I have to spread it out. Bladder thanks me anyways!

That’s exactly right, I arrive at the charger with 4-12 miles remaining. If there’s traffic, I can make it to the next charger 20 miles away. And there’s a charger 20 miles before in case I’m running high on consumption.

I arrive at the hotel with a L2 with 4-6 miles remaining typically.

It took me several trips to figure out the combo and I have been messed up due to closed chargers (or I went too fast) those aren’t fun. Hence why I do that if I’m solo but not with the family.

I obviously do this trip frequently - about 6 times in the past 2 months alone. Wouldn’t cut it as close on an unknown route.

I know we like to derail threads here, but this one might win the grand prize!

This update also fixed the range issue for me. Several updates ago, I noticed a significant reduction in range. My 1 stop 500 mile trip was taking 2-3 stops and I was struggling to get over 240-250 miles of range from full. With the most recent update I now can continue making 1 stop.

Back on topic, happy?

*Disclaimer, it may not have been this update but I’m making it work..

Not sure if this has been mentioned yet, but the IPC update also changed the “BlueCruise Hands On” icon from the little blue steering wheel to a little gray steering wheel. Not really a big change. It’s slightly better contrast though because dark blue on black was easy to miss.

Any SR peasants like myself get the update?

Well, I have an SR Pro and I was the first to post about the update (obviously not the first to get it). It seems available to all.

I must not of had my coffee when you posted this then since I completely overlooked who made the thread lol.

Weirdly still no updates on my end but no biggie.

As long as you have no FordPass issues, I wouldn't be too concerned. It will come!

I got this update last night. It notified me yesterday so I tried twice manually and it failed. So I plugged in last night, took fobs and phone way out of range and it worked (this is what I did after about 10 failed attempts on the DC-CHG2 update.

Just like that update the truck charged to 90% (my home setting), then the update installed and it promptly charged to 100%. It did not change my personal profile back to Guest but did reset my AM/FM stations, re-enabled Brake Coach on my personal profile, and disabled Charging Locations (hence the charge to 100%). I did not lose the charge locations, just had them disabled. Also changed audio source from Carplay to AM radio.

What an easter egg, didn't even mention it in the release notes!

Hey Taxman. You always seem to have the right answer, so I'm coming directly to you. I've only had my Lightning about 6 weeks so a lot of this is still new to me. I have not ever received this OTA update. I am certain I have the truck set to accept the updates at 1am 7 days and have gotten one or two other updates, but not this one. Do they roll them out as slowly as this (A month or more)? Thx

Yup, they come whenever FORD thinks it's time for your truck to get them, a lot of variables influence the speed at which any one truck receives these updates, just be patient and don't worry.

You're the best. Thanks.
