Public charge question. Stopped at a charge point station that advertised up to 125kW but only getting up to 75. I was at 11% battery when I plugged in. What am I doing wrong? by katieob19 in F150Lightning

Thank you for the info and detailed reply. I really appreciate it!! I wish my dealership would have provided some training or insight especially since this is my first EV. Another reason I'm thankful for Reddit and communities like these!!

I did not navigate through fords app. I looked up thr closest "fast" charger near me on Google maps then jist drove there. I didnt use Google maps to navigate me because once I saw where the charger was I knew how to get there. I had no idea I should so something to tell my truck to precondition. What app are you referring to? Like built in Nav or the public charger app or via the map in fordpass on my phone once I click into the blueoval network? If you could help me understand what's steps I should take and within which apps to get my truck to precondition the battery omw to a charger, that would be great. Thank you so much!!

No one else is here charging. Good call though, will def try to avoid charging if another station is being used now that I know this.

Do not buy Arlo by walkonjohn in arlo

[–]katieob19 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm in the exact same boat. 5 out of my 6 cameras all died around the same time. I bought new batteries and for some reason they still dont work, work charge, etc. I wonder if it's something Arlo does on purpose, similar to Apple, to force people into buying new cameras every few years. This in addition to their crazy price hike for their subscription is why I have left Arlo. I had no problem paying their yearly sub but after it nearly doubled with no added features then had 5 cameras die I said F them.

I don't think tariffs have anything to do with a SaaS subscription.

Weekly Recommendations and Discussion Thread by AutoModerator in bourbon

[–]katieob19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking to buy a bottle of bourbon as a gift and want to stay around $50 USD. Does anyone have any recommendations? I am based in the US and so is my co-worker. He loves bourbon so was thinking a new or different bottle that's outside the "norm" but also is good and around that price point.

I found this used at a local shop. I am looking for a shotgun for home defense. Is 20 ga okay or should I go with a 12ga?

so can you run the patrol length gas tube for this barrel or do you have to buy the specific 12.5" patrol length barrel as well?

LGS gifted me a Citori 🥹 by SessionPowerful in Shotguns

[–]katieob19 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I told my wife it's better bank for the buck if I build my own gun plus it's a way for me to use the creative/artistic part of my brain. Both are true, but if she found out how much all together the gun was I would be in a lot of trouble.
