Wow that is a lot of work! We are going to do a 2500 mile round trip in my 2023 Lightning standard range and this is super helpful thank you. I'm going to play with it based upon how you showed it working so I can plan well in advance and your tutorial gives me a great head start.

Thanks for making this video. I’ve been trying to figure out how to plan my drive to Vegas in a couple weeks. Great job but goodness we need to get this fixed and have supported Tesla locations in the GPS and Google Maps etc.

Wondering, when will Ford install a proper "road trip planner," like or similar to Tesla, Rivian or Mercedes? Thank you for sharing, very helpful.

Three websites, 1631 steps, waaaaay too complicated. Love my ford lightening but this makes me never want to road trip with her. Shame because she is the most comfortable vehicle! Ford needs to load these in their Navi! Thx for the tutorial just the same, sir.

It's coming, this video just shows you how in the interim. New tech will always have bugs when it first comes out.

I mean just start driving and when you get to 50 miles left, tell google maps to find you a charger. Pretty easy!

been with tesla since my 2012 model s in 2016 . The real joy was my 2016 in in 17. The nav just worked even back then. When you showed us the automatic and it was routing you to level 2 chargers i was WTF! Like you i now have a 23 lighting Lariat big battery and am loving it but the nav is such a POS. I bought it from a dealer 400 miles away and had to do my own nav all the way home as it was trying to get me to very slow chargers along the way. Thanks God i had the lectron adapter so i was able to use 2 tesla stops in route for quick top offs. Ford really needs to get its stuff together with the nav! its horrific. Now to be honest this thanksgiving we will take our f150 from OK to AL and i will be using tesla all the way there and back. Its amazing how spoiled i am having been with a tesla for the past 8 years. Just works. The only reason i got the f150 was because it can use the NACS network. Had it not i was going with a Rivian. Your video here was awesome and thank you! But it should figure this crap out by itself. Again my tesla has been doing it since 2016 ( probably earlier!) EA is just such a crap shoot if its going to work or not. Chargepoint normally works but they are so slow! Anyway... thanks for this. I tend to just input one at a time but i hope ford sees this video and in utter shame they fix it to where its smarter .

Your right, tesla has the software side down much better than Ford at this point. I drove from Kansas to NC pulling a trailer and its not bad going I-40 through Memphis and down to Alabama. The stretch from Memphis to Birmingham is sketchy pulling trailer but empty it would have been easy.

With any luck Ford OEM will upgrade/update software to more efficiently add Tesla (and other) charging locations. THis work-arounds are way too cumbersome these days.

I think I saw other comments saying that it is coming eventually just not yet

Ford is working on it. Hopefully we will see it in the next month or so because I have 2 - 2k mile road trips coming up and would rather just automatically route rather than use my own work around. But it gets us by for now.

Conclusion: keep your EV local and buy or rent a gas vehicle for long trips lol that might make more sense

That's definitely one way to look at it. For me, I am not going back to gasoline. Truck is way to comfortable and powerful. I will deal with charging every 3-4 hrs. of driving for the benefits it gives me. But to each their own.

LMAO, dude. Do I need to take a college class to learn this method? I guess you didn't say it was going to be easy. But your method is a complete joke.

@@MartinRebuilds-fz1ep yes, better way... Find Tesla Superchargers with FordPass 5.X Open FordPass. Tap on Energy. Select Public Charging from the Charge section. A list of nearby chargers will display. Tesla Superchargers are labeled "Adapter Needed". Incompatible Tesla Superchargers will be marked as "Station Not Compatible".
