Thank you for the response. You provided a lot of helpful information, and I appreciate it. As much as I would like to see the volts coming off the DC-DC converter, I will pass on that for now and order the adjustable EVSE. I want another 120v EVSE, and I'm going to end up purchasing it...

Has anyone tried to use a Level 1 EVSE with an adjustable amp setting? Last night was my fourth time towing my FFE because I ran out of battery. It doesn't look like I'm going to change my habits, so I think it is a good idea to carry a portable generator, in case of emergency. I want a 1000w...

Ohhhhhhh, It’s not the amount of kW used. It’s the amount of kW per hour….. 🙊

Can someone explain to me why the kWh usage in MyView is not always ~33kw? For example. Today, I drove on highway around 75mph and reached 14.3 kWh used with about 30% battery left, after traveling 44 miles. But, when I’m driving around town it will display much higher kWh usage…with the...

Anyone replace their sock suspension with aftermarket? If so, what did you go with and any impact on range?

Your project is awesome. Thanks for the updates! I just checked my 2017 FFE that was plugged into an Electricify America CCS charging station. The charging station was reporting a SOC of 60%, and my FFE reported 61% on the Charge Settings menu of the entertainment display. There was a...

Oh man, the link is dead…but I’m interested in the discord server!

I got 4 new stock Michelin tires installed today. Wow. What a difference in range. I get way more. The watts/hr is significantly less too!!!

Yeah, the hot and humid weather really sucks the power from the battery.

Check out EVTV. Many years ago I stumbled on them when trying to create a spare battery for my FFE. They have some solutions for full Tesla battery packs. evtv.me

You can install a disconnect between the positive or negative battery terminal. Similar to what is found on boat batteries. Something like this…...

Show me the ways, and I think I am super interested in this. I recently cracked the code on how to use Tesla Model S battery modules for power backup. I currently have 2x modules (50lbs/each) that have a capacity of ~10kw. This would be a nice addition to have in the trunk of the FFE, along...

Triangles, There is one on copart right now.....super low bid. I would buy it, but I don't need it. If you're ready, this might be a steal for you.. https://ibb.co/hfvQLCN

I’m curious, what is the advantage of wheel spacers?

I agree, my AC works more than wel enough to keep the car EXTREMELY cold, but every once in a while…cold air is diverted to cooling the battery. Actually, I haven’t had the warm air blowing issues since I posted last. That fat must have been the perfect trifecta of environmental conditions for...

I found this device in my recently purchased FFE. Anyone know what it is? https://drive.google.com/file/d/19S6KH7jgtRFe9x29WuWoGaSYMz2vdmWV/view?usp=drivesdk

My 2017 with ~ 30,000 miles does the same thing. The AC will blow hot air. Good info anti_climax. Thank you. Does anyone have schematics of the AC system? Also, not sure if related or not. Every so often, when I 'start' the vehicle after charging I get a red error message, "Check charging...

I’m not sure exactly how to fix it, but I agree that you should start by disconnecting and reconnecting the12v battery. Search the internet for “12v car battery replacement”. But, instead of replacing the battery, you only need to disconnect either the negative or positive terminal for a...

Traded in the crap FFE today, at CarMax. They had another 2017 shipped to my local CarMax location from Riverside, CA. I’m on the trip home now, and I already can tell the difference in range. The guess-o-meter says 113. I should have the opportunity to charge to 100% and get good data. Now...

All the talk about battery thresholds most defiantly makes sense. These talks are fascinating to me, so thank you for sharing. There have been numerous times when I have run the FFE to 0% SOC, to the point of no ability for the FFE to drive further. I turned the car off for 10-20 minutes, then...
