Yes it does. From my understanding and according to the shop manual there are two distinct, divorced refrigerant loops, one for the battery and one for the cab. But what I'm not super clear on is is there one compressor or two?

Well guys, it seems to be getting worse, compressor continues to short cycle when DC fast charging and battery temps rise significantly higher than normal. But if cabin HVAC is turned off, the compressor runs constantly while DC charging and temps are lower. Also cabin AC still seems to blow...

The sudden decline continues... 😕

See I thought that at first as well, but I could hear the fans blowing steady outside the truck, but I only heard (and felt) this noise inside the truck (because it blocked out the roaring electric fans) and was very clearly an AC compressor short cycling. And I guess while still blowing cold...

Interesting, yeah I guess it could be that problem. It stopped doing it once the temperature dropped below 97 so I'll try again in the next few days to get a video. As for the dealer, I won't be able to realistically until I get to my friends place up in Washington, but once there I'll bring...

Yeah I was gonna say, I totally get what you're saying, I'm very familiar with how the HVAC system cools the pack, but this compressor short cycling is something I've never heard before...

TL; DR: AC compressor audibly surging while DCFC, stops when cabin HVAC is turned off. AC outputs cold air. Hi All, I'm currently traveling and towing my teardrop trailer cross-country like I have for the past two summers. Its currently scorching where I am. I just passed through Colorado...

It actually tracks the BECM Battery Capacity metric and how it relates as a percentage of design capacity (397Ah).

I hope you're right! It's just disconcerting to me since mine always read 100, and now has dropped twice in the same day. But the values seem small and given the age and use of my truck (lots of DCFC every summer on cross country towing trips), I guess some minor wear really isn't unexpected.

That is Squeaker (Squeak), she was my beloved ringneck dove that I had since I was 11. She passed away a couple years ago now. But thank you, she was a pretty bird :)

My mileage is WAY higher than my truck's mileage. The truck's SOH is higher than my SOH. My age is WAY higher than my truck's age. In terms of calendar aging, most would still consider me young, but my health issues mean my SOH is worse than most that are 65+ 😬

My detailed stats

Uh oh... It dropped again... Maybe I jinxed myself lol

I recently charged up to 100%, before I first left PA, but I can try that again. As for multiple stops, you can bet I've had multiple stops towing from PA to where I am now, Colorado! Still many more to go before I make it to WA!

Well, guys, I guess it's time to send her to the crusher, my SOH dropped below 100%. 😂 Lol in all seriousness, a bit sad to see, but not unexpected given my truck's age and and now coming on three summers in a row of cross country road-tripping DC charging all the way. All in all, I think I'm...
