Ford Lightning and Texas BBQ. A Great Truck Uses The Lectron Vortex Plug To Get A Mill Scale Smoker
Переглядів 228Місяць тому
We took my Ford Lighting on a 2,400 mile road trip to pick up my new MIll Scale Metal Works smoker in Lochart, TX. We were able to use mostly Electrify America and Tesla chargers (using the Lectron Adapter) for the entire trip and it was a great experience. There is no better BBQ than in the heart of Central Texas so join us for the ins and outs of hauling a trailer, while having our pick of el...

Foundation Cyberbeast VS My Ford Lightning
Переглядів 1,4 тис.3 місяці тому
Would I trade in my Lighting for a Cyberbeast? I was fully prepared to dislike the Cybertruck, but I was pleasantly surprised by its capabilities as a real truck. The Tesla is a real showstopper and has more bed space and load capacity than the Lighting. Despite the early productions issues, it might be the best Tesla ever.
Mini Cooper SE is the Best Quality, Small EV, for the Money.

In Colorado, people are getting $17,000 dollars in credits when they lease certain 24 Mini Cooper SE electric cars. I love the mini and it is the best value on wheels for a second car or a short trip specialist! I do not work for Mini or BMW, but of the eleven electric cars I have owned the Mini is still the KING of most fun for the least amount of money.
The Refreshed 25 IONIQ 5 Must Steal These Features From the New 24 Kona EV!
Переглядів 1,7 тис.6 місяців тому
After spending two weeks in an New 24 KONA EV I really want to see Hyundai put many of the features in the refresh of the IONIQ 5. Hyundai addressed many of my pet peeves about my Ioniq 5 in the Kona, and to be frank, I hope some of them can be added to my 23 IONIQ 5 via a software update. Also, the Kona is a terrific little EV for the money.

The future is already here and it is going to get nothing but better as Tesla becomes the charging standard.

Great presentation,Principal Bob. Tks. Rick/79yrs old/Seattle🥸
Drag racer will love it. NOT for me, however. My Limited AWD is plenty fast for me -and is big on comfort and convenience.
Hi Electric Principal, I love your content! I'm interested in discussing a potential collaboration. Could you let me know the best way to reach you? Thanks!😊
Excellent Video, you deserve 14 likes, sorry they only let me give 1, one pedal rules, just use it (learn it -1) and love it. Under stand the repeat on eco mode climate controls. TY for the repeat but just drive in Normal all good!
Great video!! I also have the Ioniq 5 and I find that charging to 90% does not take that much more time than charging to 80% with a fast charger. It seems to be that tower from 90 to 100% that really slows things down.
I appreciate you making this video. I just got my ioniq 5 a week ago
Thanks for watching.
Great stuff. Got one on order for a 2025, wiper and 84 kwh bat. One other thing people should know, the worries of frozen door handles. Just hold the door unlock button down a few seconds and the window will open. I have seen a few videos complaining about frozen handles. Window frozen? Open the hatch. Hatch frozen? LOL Good job
We get cold weather in Wisconsin and Colorado. I have not talked to anyone who has had this issue.
Got my '24 Ioniq 5 Limited from your lot but bought it from Phil Long in COS (Abyss Black w/black interior and pre-tinted). I received none of this info. I should've driven up to you guys to buy it.
your video quality is amazing . There are many opportunities to grow your channel. If you want, I can work for your channel.thank you
Jak utrudnić sobie życie. Kupić VW
Bob, with the short tenure of salespeople and their tendency to push gas cars, how can they be trained to deliver your very appropriate guidelines?
Thank you very much for taking the time to show us these features. It's too bad we can't use the HD option in Canada. It would be so useful.
My sales person didn't show any of this. It was a learning curve ro learn all the features
i get my ioniq 6 next week....these are great tips!
What is the differences between Eco and Normal Mode for a RWD Ioniq 5?
Less acceleration is the big saver. Also, less heat or cooling on hot or cold days. Thanks for watching the video.
Our salesperson did not cover a single item on your list. Apparently the radar feature is not available on the base SE models, at least the 2022s.
You don't need to be in Utility Mode to run a external V2L adapter. Car can be completely off.
Correct.
Is there a utility mode to save the 12V?
I love that doppler feature. Wish other vehicles had that.
This be a helpful video for Ioniq 5/6 newbies! My dealer didn't show me any of these, but I discovered 14 of them all on my own. The only one I didn't know about was the doppler radar. I just never imagined that it wasn't an option under the HD Radio section… since I never use HD radio. I have discovered another useful feature that you haven't covered: you can fold the cargo floor in "half," pull it out slightly, tip it up, and then insert it into angled slots on both sides of the frame that supports it. It really helps when you're trying to access items that you store under that floor!
Wonderful tip! Thanks for watching the channel.
These cars are awful. I’ve had two id4s and one was lemon law. Just got a flat and had no friggin clue there’s no spare tire. Electric vehicles are an effin scam. Stay away from vw id 4
Wonderful videos...but I have been searching for an answer to this: I purchased a used ID.4 (2021) software v3.1 and I cannot figure out how to clear a previous owner user. This is an ongoing problem as the software continually says sorry, you are a GUEST user. Help! I can't connect the external VW apps.
Why are Tesla chargers so slow? , Electrify America sucks, but when they work, I can get 150 KWH and go form 10% to 80% in 25 min.
Great info and well done UA-cam presentation. 'Statement & question: I like visiting Yosemite Park, Lake Tahoe & the Mammoth ski area in the winter time and I live above 4000 MSL in the Tehachapi Mountains which experiences about 6" accumulation snow storms, but only for about ten days of the year. How useful would a rear-wheel-drive ID.4 be for me with all season, 3-peak rated tires and Konig snow-chains on the rear wheels only during the worst conditions with steep road grades? My primary concern is controlling the ID.4 during a steep descent on packed snow mixed with black ice. Thank you Electric Principle!
Can I start the AC from the Remote Control?
Hi Principal Bob! Question for you: how much more energy does the IONIQ 5 burn going up to the mountains? I live in Grand County, and I’m thinking of getting one…but I’m curious about mountain driving. I’d love to hear about your experience with mountain driving.
Usually preferred time only, I have struggled to stop charging my ID4 charging ahead of off-peak times. This is the clearest explanation of charging options I have ever seen and is very helpful thanks.
Technically, there is not "Level 3: charging. It is called DC fast charge. Also, why are you at a 350 kwh charger, when you can use a 150 kwh? Everyone should be courteous to use only the power they need!
Technically, it is Kw and not kWh when measuring the speed of electricity. KWh measures the amount of storage capacity in a battery. Also, I left the 150 Kw open because it has the only plug a Nissan Leaf can use. I would use the 150Kw if it was the only open station.
you can't build that truck differently because of that material they choose
UK VW dealer handover, tick all these boxes on the form and here's the keys - bye.... :D :D I learnt more in this one video than days behind the wheel fiddling - thanks!
That's wild there's an iD.4 pulling a high profile trailer in the background as you are charging, wonder how that is going. You should have interviewed that person, would have been worth adding that video separately somewhere.
I wish I'd found you before we bought our 2024 ID.4 Pro S. I love the car. However, the abbreviated manual sucks... Heck, even the $50 full manual sucks because it does not cover any upgrades to the 2024 version. I'm going to take my tablet out to the car so I can watch and do. Thank you so much for doing these videos.
I’ve just purchased a 2024 ID-4 and am pleased that my wife found this video to begin my learning process. My question is ‘Are there any critical or useful differences between the 2024 and earlier versions of this vehicle?’ Also, have you by any chance produced any other videos on this model that I should watch.
The sad thing is that 5 months after your made this video, you can’t to anywhere from Colorado and have access to a Magic Dock-equipped Tesla Supercharger. There are none in New Mexico, 2 in Texas, none in Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, Kansas, 1 in Nebraska, none in the Dakotas, Montana, Utah, etc etc. The Magic Dock program has been an enormous bust for Tesla. I assume the reason they are not building any more Magic Docks is because they are waiting for EV makers to switch to the NACS connector, so there is no reason to build any more Magic Docks. Of course, this switchover will take years and meanwhile, none of us with CCS cars in these blank areas will ever get to use a Supercharger.
It's my opinion that magic docks is Tesla's way of testing and validating the charger software and adapter hardware for other OEM cars. It will make them more money in selling SC access and adapters than retrofitting existing SCs with magic docks stalls. And with adapters, any EVs can go to all the existing V3 version SC locations so in the end, it's a win win for all.
@@hvu6037Except that here in the western half of Oklahoma and western half of Kansas and the panhandles of Oklahoma and Texas, there are no V3 Superchargers at all, so we are just totally out of luck and hope that other providers will step in and build some DCFC sites to use
Well my 15 y.old car can do that, fully automated. Well not the memory thing, but if the spot still exists the next day, it will just park itself again anyway…
Just bought the Disney 100 Platinum Limited Ioniq 5! Can't wait to try out this feature! Love your videos - very helpful - keep them coming!
On Wisconsin
Thanks for the map thing #5
Great video. I should point out that it remained silent on Lane Assist which, when used in conjonction with ACC, is a 'baby Travel Assist.' Lane Assist provides some steering wheel input, while ACC provides the acceleration-deceleration input. Thanks
No way does anybody have a better autonomous system than Tesla! Tesla is light years ahead my good man.
Phantom braking makes it almost unusable on the highway. Besides, the truck I had did not have it available…not ready yet.
@@electricprincipal543 Phantom braking hasn't been an issue in nearly a year at least not on a wide scale but specifically this year.
I am anxious to see a legitimate new source source that says Tesla has solved its phantom breaking problem. The last 23 model three certainly hadn’t. It would be a major achievement if Tesla actually solve the problem without using sensors.
Oh man! My IONIC 5 fob doesn’t have this
Thank you so much. This was great information as I start the adventure of home charging.
Can you recommend a specific home charger?
The fact that Tesla charging stations do not have LCD screens that try to provide information is surprisingly smart. I wanted to know everything, and I wanted to see it on the charging station. But then I started seeing BUSTED screens, which made me think that the entire charging station was not functional. So good insights by Tesla.
This is a really good video that explains the ID.4 charging scheduling system well. My one question is if you want to charge at off peak hours and battery is low, say 30%…what do you want the Direct Charge 0-50% to be set at to start the charge at off-peak hours? Do you set it to 0 to insure that charging will start at 30% and go to 80% during off-peak? Thanks for your help.
Thank you for sharing very informative
Matt Farah does a great take on the Cyber truck and it's not flattering or practical for a true truck person. The fit and fitment is terrible with many sharp leading edges that can lacerate.
I guess Ford is more practical if you're not doing the road trip often. Cybertruck has better charging infra ( well this is mute since Ford now has access to SCs). faster charging speed, safe to go down to 0%, better adaptive cruise control (when it's released) and better turning radius.
Unless Tesla has fixed the phantom braking problem, I will never be a fan. I keep getting updates that tell me it is fixed, but "it ain't so."
LOL, is see mountain bikes hanging off the tailgate or on a hitch mounted rack, never seen them actually fit in the bed of an F150. Meanwhile I swing mint into the VW GTI with rear seats down 😂
Works great if no one else is in the car...I found my 23 GTI was pretty tight with a bike in the back.
NO ONE CARES ABOUT YOUR EV SHIT. BOTH VEHICLES ARE GIANT LIBERAL FLOPS!!!!!
You're wise to stick with your Lightning. Tesla has been going south for quite a while. And I'm encouraged that you also drive an Ioniq 5, like I do!
