I like the idea of going with cheaper UPS / portable power stations, either way. In retrospect I agree with @Runaway Tractor that it's a lot of marketing, but they do have a great form factor for stowing them in out of the way places. I'd need to do the math as most UPS systems seem to not...

Seems like I could install these in a few places around my house, and connect "core" devices to them. In the event of prolonged outage, I can run an extension cord to my truck and recharge them. While it may not be as easy as the promise of the HIS. It seems like it'll be a hell of a lot better...

Last I heard they're looking at 27 or 28, which I think is the next gen Wrangler line.

I don't see it over midline till 97-98F, I also don't have a garage, so it's in full sun all day. When I get in, I've seen the onboard thermometer read over 140F in the dead of summer. I think there's also something to be said that even at night it's still in the mid to high 90s in PHX, so the...

Yes, this is with the max tow, Hopefully someone without the extra cooling can weigh in. I bet it would cool the battery but would also steal the "chill" from the cabin AC somewhat. Balancing range for the EPA would be my guess. It does take a noticeable hit to my efficiency, maybe about 0.2...

It was mentioned in another thread, but I wanted to share my test. If you didn't know, Summer decided it wanted round two in Phoenix, so despite some cool days a few weeks ago, the last few days have been in the 110s, so I was able to test it out. If my battery temp is over the mid-line...

I figure that like the glare free headlights, there is some legal reason, accurate or not, that keeps Ford from fixing this. The point of the message is that this doesn't replace your rear-view mirrors, it doesn't show you blind spots. So it's not the full rear view. I've heard people talk about...

Ford doesn't even try to update vehicles that are new and not yet sold. My theory on this after working at a car dealership is that you can NOT change anything that a sales person gets used to. So all of the same model-years better have the same software, cause that sales person is only going to...

This is a great message. It's further compounded by the fact that the truck has no idea how much potential is stored in those cells. What it knows is that more potential equates to slightly higher voltage. This is the same with any battery really, even your phone. It can only infer your state of...

Everything else would still be under warranty. Warranties don't cover aftermarket parts, and won't cover any damage to anything your aftermarket alteration damages. But it's not really different than upgrading your sound system or something, changing your speakers doesn't invalidate the warranty...

Good time to point people to the tool in my profile to help you figure out range at given charge level and driving efficiency. Also, OP. Set your charge limit to like 80-90% at home and plug it in any time it's parked. Even if it's not charging, being plugged in allows the onboard systems to...

Did you pour liquid on it? I mean, I agree that it's pretty bullshit that a little splash from a cup holder the thing sits next to could disable it. Kind puts a dent in their whole "work truck tough" image. Since you're going to be out the money anyway, there's a thread on this site where...

Likely because it is. Remember how much many/most dealers resisted the Model E certification program? Dealers don't like change. Service techs don't either, that means they have to learn something new, and not just like an evolution of what they already know. EVs are practically alien to ICE...

Y'all plan too much. I charge to 80%, and while it's charging use plugshare to find the next charger on my route 150-200 miles away, stick that in apple maps and repeat till I arrive.

1) get it fixed, it's a much bigger PITA if you wait beyond the CSP period 2) It likely wasn't a CSP yet, and Ford was still figuring out that it affected everyone and not just a few people. 3) Your dealer was shitty, and can't see past the high-margin oil changes. They didn't bother to diagnose...

I've noticed this when shifting into neutral to coast, it clicks and moves, but is still applying regen and slowing me down. I'll have to try the drop and reset trick to see if that cures it.

This is a toss-up In my first 9 months I was in service 4 times. They could not (and still haven't) figured out how to get my 360 camera view aligned. So 2 visits for that before I gave up with one dealer, then another visit at another dealer who got it close enough, and did my 10k service...

Also consider that interest in a forum like this is transient for some people. They may no longer be active after 6 months when we all reserved them. Hell I'm seeing a bunch for sale because they don't even have the truck anymore.

Goddammit Jeep, just release that Magneto concept as a full on Wrangler option already.

Are these illegal in the states in some way? Why are they disables when all the hardware is there?
