Hi! My truck got 2000km and for the first time today when i unplug it and i take off, i look at my cluster and my power was reduced to 64%. The power gauge was grey from 64% to 100%. Full throttle was only 64% power delivery. I shut it off and start again, boom, 100% power available. Anybody know what the cause of that? The truck got the 3.4.0 updated 2 days ago.

A completely wild guess: Battery was hot from charging and reduced available power until it cooled a bit

Thats was i tought too but the temperature was is the middle… maybe i take off too quickly after unplugging it… maybe 10 second or so. No message in dash or nothing, just the sound and grey power gauge.

I just had the exact same scenario today. I parked overnight in the garage charged it up from 60-80%. I set it to charge 2 hours after plugging in for battery cooling. Charge was done overnight and I preconditioned the truck for 11am. Hop in nice and toasty, back out and notice the 64% power level. Also the front motor drive isn’t engaging on the screen. Normally you see both front and rear working in tandem. Drove around leisurely for 25 minutes in 55* weather and parked at the store. Getting back in the Truck 30 mins later, all back to normal. I truly hope this was a software glitch. I just updated to 4.1.1 the other day. Battery temps looked right in the normal range like they always do. Back at home I checked the 12v battery connections for the first time and they are nice and tight. Not sure what else to look for? I’ve seen a few more cases of this online.

Im puzzled? Hope this isn’t a start to something …
