I'm also a first time ev owner and with regen set to max, I've been getting used to feathering the accelerator to creep back. If you don't make it the first time just creep forward and back it again...or use the blocks everyone has suggested!
Even with the squeeze I think you should still garage it. You can plug it in before closing the garage door if the charger would be in an inaccessible spot!
I'm also new to EVs. ????
You can leave it plugged in. I think about the case where the charging station is down and maybe I'll need to visit an RV park and use their 240V outlets to charge, hence why I personally will carry the portable charger all the time, just in case I forget. (Yes I am...
1) 120V with portable charger getting 2 kw/hr if that. I think you'll find putting the portable charger back in the bag to get harder to do over time. I'm on day 3 of ownership and curling it back up is getting old.
Will you feel comfortable leaving your car without the portable charger and...
When you test drive, have the regen set to Standard instead of High. I found that regen with Standard is very very light to me so I think you can have some form of coasting.
Hey Nermal, it is expected. 120V x 20A = 2400W x 0.8 which is 1.92kW/hr so it is accurate. It's also a beefy truck so you can't compare the miles/hr you'll get on a 120V outlet to other EVs which are more efficient.
I'm parked in a 225 inch long garage and it's a crazy squeeze...the tow hooks stick out in the front but it doesn't eclipse the nose of the truck by much. As far as the back is considered the rear bumper is the one that sticks out.
You're going to need to modulate the reverse and apply steady...
I'm bringing it in Monday morning so I'll be happy to send you all pictures when it is complete.
I'm no expert at ppf or ceramics. This is actually the first vehicle I care about protecting based on price and the first vehicle I am putting ppf and ceramic on.
My decision of not going with...
@User433 Here's the email response I received from them. I also asked for full vehicle ppf quote and it was 8500 for Stek. Note these quoted prices are before sales tax. I ended up going with Stek full front, ceramic gold, and ceramic interior.
@Sdvictor I am going to APC Auto Spa in Monroe. They walked me through Stek vs Kavaca and had samples on hand that you can try take to compare the differences. I did contact a few others that was dropped on these forums but either they had 1 or 2 layers of ceramic or were crazy expensive for...
@Sdvictor I'm actually bringing my truck to get the front ppf'd with Stek Dynoshield and coated with Ceramic Pro...Hopefully the shop can get all of it out...otherwise I might need some of it recoated. How I do tell if there's an acoustic film layer?
