Is this normal? I've never discharged the battery this low so does it just automatically limit my output or could this be a battery module failing? There's no error messages or anything whatsoever thanks, discharged the battery this low.

Yes, totally normal. As the battery goes lower the power will drop lower as well.

Same thing will happen in the winter when the temperature gauge (not the trucks temperature gauge) starts to drop...

I think it starts limiting power before 25% SOC. You don't want to be driving it like you stole it with a low battery! You'll drain it fast!

Yes, and the lower you go in SOC, the lower it goes. Pops right back up when you charge

Battery SoC and Temperature both contribute to that. That’s why the gauge exists :p

One reason why I use the 'Calm Screen' - I'd rather be worrying about the other bozos on the road that fretting over all those vehicle metrics...but I understand the concern especially if this is the first EV one has owned, or the first Ford EV.

Aha...
Welcome to the world of EVs!

All that info can come in handy when you need it...I never really have, but I'm sure there are others on the forum who find it useful. :)
