@Lyle I think your charger install is not allowing the LVB BMS to calibrate, assuming it works the same as other Ford vehicles. As @Mikerson noted, a spark means its pulling a load. Even a relatively small load could stop the calibration routine. ~Source: ⁠Forum.forscan

Yes, it's a very rudimentary implementation that leaves a lot to be desired. Its seems to process its surroundings with a serious lag. Car in front of you is slowing down? It doesn't seem to do anything until it decides to panic stop. Car in front of you speeds up (or takes off from a stop)...

I am fairly certain that is above the runaway temperature for NMC batteries. It is definitely well above the boiling temp of coolant. So it would seem the battery never actually got that hot. Something else is going on. Unless it was your truck on that recent ’StacheD’ video.

I have no answers for you, but it is wild to me that a consumer could do anything to reset it. Akin to resetting the odometer in my opinion.

This is Bluecruise in 2021: This is bluecruise literally today: You simply cannot make that level of progress in just 5 years without some serious capital to back it up. If you want the improvements to continue, you have to pay for the service. Wait a minute... just taking another look at...

Ford UK has an FAQ that talks about SOH. Apparently it is viewable within settings for newer EV's available there. BSOH is defined as the actual energy capacity divided by the energy capacity when the battery was new (in %). A value of 100% means the actual energy capacity is the same as the...

If you were not a aware, the Union Pacific 4014 Big Boy has been making a coast to coast tour in celebration of America’s 250. That brought it into my kneck of the woods (Ohio) so I decided I wanted to go see it. The wife and I made a trip of it and drove from Cincinnati to Cleveland and spent...

6.16 on IOS is the first version I've had phone as a key issues. I've had to manually open the app several times to unlock the truck and had a few key not detected while driving. The PaaK experience has been rather reliable for me prior. Just checked, no 6.16.1 for IOS. Edit: 6.17 just...

I had factory powered running boards on my 2017 F150 and was not happy with them. They were great when they worked. I had issues with them being down when they shouldn't be, although admittedly was somewhat rare. I could hear them retract after crossing around 5 MPH, which I assume is a safety...

I've retried the Return To Sport selection 6 times over the past week, and it still reverted back to Normal for me each time.

I believe Carplay video is a Ford problem. Its available in Carplay if the vehicles allows it. I have a few minor phone glitches, but Carplay and Ford app seem fine. There is also now a background that matches the slate blue of the gauge display in sport mode quite nicely.

Do you mean staying on after being prompted to stay in Sport Mode? If you have figured out how to keep it in Sport Mode automatically through power cycles, we need to talk. :) Assuming you meant staying on after being prompted, I gave up trying months ago. I'll have to remember to try it out.

Ah yes, a profound American idea; forged into a mighty hammer by the Japanese.

The fact that this tiny little, yet highly annoying, bug still exists 7 months later is really sad. Especially being it used to work just fine. I typically try to stay upbeat and optimistic, but there comes a time when one must be realistic with the facts laid before them.

My last few updates have done the same thing. Set a destination and turned on routing. Took me a minute to figure out what was going on.
