  1. POLL: Let's keep track of what reservation numbers have received their Tesla adapters!

    1600 hrs. day 2 and I'm 21,793. But the servers were crowded and it took several log-ins to order.
  2. Front driver passenger windows went down by themselves

    Put the window down, then spray the seals with silicone spray. Same with your door seals if you live in freezing areas.
  3. What is the magic voodoo to use my charging credit?

    Do you have more than one vehicle with Ford Pass? If the registered owner is not you, it will need the owner to authorize the charge to the car.
  4. Is this a problem?

    The outer pin cap is there to open the spring contacts and wipe them clean at insertion. Sometimes previous users of charging equipment are a bit careless with the charge cord and it gets foreign material in it. It's a area that one wants to keep as clean as is practical.
  5. Announced: 2024 Mach-E gets more range, faster charging + GT model gets optional Performance Upgrade: 0-60 mph in 3.3s. 1/4 Mile in 11.8s @ 114 mph

    Once it gets below 20F, heat pump efficiency drops like a rock. In sub zero temps you would still need a resistance heat source to supplement it.
  6. Announced: 2024 Mach-E gets more range, faster charging + GT model gets optional Performance Upgrade: 0-60 mph in 3.3s. 1/4 Mile in 11.8s @ 114 mph

    Exactly. Raise it and it causes more drag. But the rally tires probably have something to do with it also.
  7. Software Update 6.14 Rolling Out to Mustang Mach-E

    Remember it's controlled by what the camera ahead of the rear-view mirror sees. Mist, bird dung, bugs all effect it. Especially oil coating and wash wetting agents. I had pine sap interfere with mine once.
  8. Mach-E Fast Charging Tesla Adapters Start Shipping TODAY Per Ford!

    That's odd. Mine shows a 12,793 and July delivery.
  9. Software Update 6.14 Rolling Out to Mustang Mach-E

    That's on the rental agent for not knowing his client and walking him through the operation of the car. And I've had contact with the same engineers for 45 years. Sub's are special, and their engineers are more so.
  10. Software Update 6.14 Rolling Out to Mustang Mach-E

    I know a few engineers like that. The manual is on the screen. But few read it.
  11. Software Update 6.14 Rolling Out to Mustang Mach-E

    Have you added a card to pay for charging and turned on the Blue Oval charge function?
  12. 500 mile Tesla SuperCharger road trip = SUCCESS

    That might be a bit difficult as both are backlogged.
  13. HVJB Deep Dive: Is there any way that software fixes the problem of overheating contactors?

    Exactly. Let's say that the low voltage charging is on a second after the main contactor opens. The current from the caps would cause a point arc. We don't have hard facts on what they found, but yes, timing is critical.
  14. HVJB Deep Dive: Is there any way that software fixes the problem of overheating contactors?

    Timing does matter because they use a smaller contactor and resistor to charge the large capacitors in the motors. Without the resistor the capacitors are capable of drawing well over a 1000 amps. Once they are charged, then the main contactors close and the car is ready. By using capacitors at...
  15. NACS Extension Cable Coming From Tesla

    or Quantum batteries instead of chemical.
  16. NACS Extension Cable Coming From Tesla

    Let's not forget center front like the "E" series vans and most other commercial vehicles.
  17. NACS Extension Cable Coming From Tesla

    Wire amp charts are specific to wire design. Like MTW is a lot more flexible than THN and has a higher amp rating per size. 4-0 welding wire is very flexible.
  18. Power Up 6.x Poll

    It seems that Ford periodically checks the car. Determines what you may need, and sends a update. Each vehicle is different because of so many variables. Dealer visits, build equipment versions, Trouble codes, and subscriptions/accessories. They are tailored for your car and it's needs. So don't...
  19. Power Up 6.x Poll

    Part of the code not only covers the circuit design, but all appliances that are UL approved in the US. They also have to have a overcurrent protection inside. Often a fuse or fusible link. Operating at lower than design is actually good for the longevity of the device. Less heat. All electronic...
