Totally agree! When my friend explained to me that the Huracan was an "off road" Lambo, I was like "WTF", then, wow, that is cool and crazy at the same time!

Thank you. Never owned a true SUV, so I don't know. My wife and I are pretty short, so the tallness factor never entered my mind as it is not a factor for us. YMMV!

You don't think we spent every mile on freeways, do you? We spent a ton of time on city streets in DC, Atlanta, Montgomery, New Orleans, Houston, etc. Plus, spend time on back roads in Texas. So, yes, 55 mph AVERAGE. On freeways, I drove mostly 74 mph, my wife, probably more like 69 mph. My 74...

Last Saturday, my wife and I returned back from a 2 week road trip where we drove from Massachusetts to Texas, stayed at a cousin's in Washington DC, friends in NC, visited Montgomery, AL, partied in New Orleans, stayed at friends in Houston, hit San Antonio, met friends in Austin, camped west...

Yes, it is your very high SOC - not the intended use case for fast charging. I fast charged many times on a recent road trip. If I started at a low SOC, say below 30%, and warm temperature (say above 70 degrees), I would routinely start at above 150 kW, although it would ramp down rapidly to...

Yes. In ABRP settings, choose "Chargers and Networks", then "type of chargers", then select both CCS and NACS.

My method is to use ABRP on my phone; it almost exclusively selects Tesla Superchargers, then use Google maps to navigate (a simple "Tesla [city name]" search usually works). It's worked for 21 Tesla charge sessions so far this trip...

This is where "Verify [the switch] is ALL the way open before attaching the Tesla cable" helps.

This did not work for me in 2 different charging sessions. I gave up and turned p&c off.

No way is it worth it IMHO. Takes 15 seconds to start the charge in the Telsa app; 0 seconds if your wife is doing it as you pull in... 😀

Yep. Watch the switch position. Verify it is ALL the way open before attaching the Tesla cable. Then verify it clicks solidly to lock the cable. From there, Bob's your uncle.

What manufacturer do you have?

I have charged 13 times at Tesla stations on an New England to Texas trip. All but the very first time (when it was cold), the Tesla station gives everything the car can take. Each and every time, I start at 158kW for a couple of minutes, then pretty rapidly ramping down to 110 or so, then...

No. Try: Fordpass app, Vehicle, Blue Oval charger network, Plug & Charge.

My wife and I have the Tesla app on our phones (hers-Apple; his-Android). She logs in as me and the discount is recognized on both phones.

Using the Tesla app is no big deal. So far this trip, I've had 9 Tesla charging sessions and 2 plug and charge sessions while using Tesla charging stations. Either works; just get the Tesla membership rate while using the Tesla app. In fact, when we pull up to a Tesla charging station, my wife...

3000 miles is about 1000 kWh at 3.0 kWh/mile (which is the efficency we are getting this trip), assuming no free charging at hotels. You save at least $0.10 per kWh with the membership, therefore, for your trip, you would save $0.10 per kWH * 1000 kWh =$100, if you paid $12.99 for one month of...

@Bonehead - I am in-process on a 4660 mile trip. I have an A2Z adapter as I knew Tesla charging would make the trip easier. I paid for a $12.99 Tesla membership as it reduces the cost per kWh to what a Tesla owner pays. I thought I would switch off the trip between EA and Tesla, but trust me...

My experience so far is many Tesla sites have a station set up for a Tesla with a trailer. See the photo for an example. Works great for Mach-Es! It is one way to only take up one charger. Even if there aren't any trailer stations, there are typically so many charging stations, and so few cars...

I'm 1300 miles into a trip with my A2Z adapter. I can't image ever using another EA station again. The Tesla stations have been a dream.
