  1. Installed some mud flaps today - they were desperately needed

    This is the thing I found out about the mudflaps on both my MME and Lightning. Ford would sell you mudflaps for their ICE vehicles...but....not for their EVs. There must be some drag there that they don't like and what it does to the efficiency numbers or the drag coefficient. Tesla vehicles...
  2. Received First Part of Rewards for Completing Recall 23S56 for HVJB

    I received the reward points last week, also. Waiting for the rest of the goodies.
  3. Ford suspending accounts due to third party connections

    I agree. Electric Utilities use a third party to do the monitoring for them. I had the unfortunate experience of having my account locked 3 times. Ford makes it known that they have the right to do that. Proprietary information breaching and they don't take it kindly.
  4. Complimentary Ford Pick Up & Delivery and Ford Mobile Service — Vehicle Service That Fits Your Life

    It is a bit more involved process than calling for a mobile service. I know Tesla does it for their customers but their service centers may be hundreds of miles away.
  5. Complimentary Ford Pick Up & Delivery and Ford Mobile Service — Vehicle Service That Fits Your Life

    I agree. As soon as my dealer starting offering it, I took advantage of it. Basically, that is how my dealer prefers to do business with me. It is working very well. They took my MME for HVBJB work. My Lightning for battery replacement module just yesterday. As long as you are located within a...
  6. Costco EV charging business?

    Ohhhh......yes. I know the feeling.
  7. Costco EV charging business?

    Hello there, neighbor. I asked the Costco folks in Greenville SC if they were interested to installing DCFC at that location. They just finished a major upgrade to their gas pumps. They said, we are looking into it. How long, who knows. I guess when Walmart starts installing them at their...
  8. Costco EV charging business?

    Folks, I just saw my first Mercedes DCFC stations, yesterday. It was at Bucee's in Florence SC. Opposite side of Bucee's from the Tesla chargers. I had to do some digging. Are listed in the ChargePoint network. They are the 400kwh stations. Anyone can use them. Build for the Merc owners...
  9. Costco EV charging business?

    Which app are you using for this location of Costco? Plug Share, Charge point??
  10. You can't road-trip in an EV...hold my beer

    I agree. Great points that all of us are aware of. ICE infrastructure is still getting built and expanded even today. The reality is, this is my opinion, EV charging infrastructure is like raising two kids. One by Tesla, which has given it all the resources that it needs to flourish, and the...

    Another true statement. Risk.....such a wonderful word.!!!
  12. You can't road-trip in an EV...hold my beer

  13. Towing a teardrop camper from Colorado to Virginia - 3,000 miles (through snow) in January 2024 :-D

    How much of any European regulations apply in Canada, if any??
  14. Towing a teardrop camper from Colorado to Virginia - 3,000 miles (through snow) in January 2024 :-D

    Yes ....yes ...yes it is useful info. I deal with these indications and warnings when I tow my camper with my Lightning. Most of the folks tend to look at these warnings, literally. Ford is trying to save you from peril. Most of the folks focus on one particular indication and fail to see the...
  15. Towing a teardrop camper from Colorado to Virginia - 3,000 miles (through snow) in January 2024 :-D

    Another one of those interesting posts. This story will melt all of the naysayers negative comments. I remembered when I towed with my Explorer a 4500lb camper to Yellowstone, Grand Teton, Badlands, Mount Rushmore and Mammoth Cave National Parks. It can be done with planning and tender loving...
  16. Ford to Offer Complimentary Tesla Supercharger Adapter to Eligible Mach-E Owners (1/31/24 Update)

    Well, at 150KWH charge rate and 400V, the amperage peaks at 375A.
  17. Ford to Offer Complimentary Tesla Supercharger Adapter to Eligible Mach-E Owners (1/31/24 Update)

    If the Mach E can maintain the 150KWH rate up to 70%, then the max current will be 375A. I just got the HVBJB module and the software updates. Let us see what happens from this point on.
  18. Ford to Offer Complimentary Tesla Supercharger Adapter to Eligible Mach-E Owners (1/31/24 Update)

    That is the intent if you didn't want to use the Tesla app.
  19. Ford to Offer Complimentary Tesla Supercharger Adapter to Eligible Mach-E Owners (1/31/24 Update)

    Good question. Although I have a Lectron adapter for almost 2 years. Hotels have Tesla destination chargers and I wanted to be able to use them while on road trips.
