As he said though it doesn't have the heat of the motor (or torque converter) to really tear up the fluid. It may get warm (I have seen 140f) but fluids handle pretty warm temps well, even significantly higher than that wont break down the fluid. In differentials they may be exposed to more...

There has been a fair bit of discussion on heat and defrost and I wish I could remember it well enough to recap. Put simply, there is a lot of disagreement as to if it works well, or doesn't. I have seen some say they have to enable heat to get it to warm up. Others have complained about the...

If you think the issue was in saying "your tripping" then that is part of the problem. And gaslighting the conversation to be about hurt feelings isnt any better. I dont know if its a sense of victory by marganilizing others or if its a lack of social skills but that was some childish garbage...

To be honest, doesnt it do this already? Next question, are you turning your headlights off? I never touch any switches in mine. All lights, including the headlights, just turn off automatically after a few minutes.

Carscanner is good and has a great selection of PIDs to use. My only issue with it is logging (and I find editing the screens annoying) I like the Torque app but it has its downsides. The nice thing for torque, and really the only reason I use it, is that logs are written to available storage...

SOME are made for continuous heavy use, others are not. Make sure you have the right one. A hard wired charger is better if you can. You may even be able to use that exact wiring (ensuring current is set correctly).

I would not imagine that Ford did a bait and switch. However I can possibly see Ford sending out an update that limits current. This may be to protect the battery, or IMO more likely done in order to help protect the high voltage contactor. Its not a common issue here (although not unheard...

I signed up to be part of the EAP, never heard anything back. A few weeks ago I recieved a survey as part of the eap, I have no idea what it was for.....

There is a towing efficiency thread active right now, that may be your best bet. 150-160 is well over 1.0mi/kwh . That may be tough if you are wanting to do highway speeds

Someone else made mention of this fairly recently too. I feel the same way, that acceleration just isnt quite what it was before. But maybe I'm just more used to it.

The ICE portion is just to point out that electric motors dont have near the same negative effects "flooring it" as it does in an ICE vehicle. That mentality tends to carry over to discussions of efficiency in BEV vehicles. The other thing to consider is how much time is spent accelerating...

Cool video, thanks! So, the "efficiency" lines he draws corelate roughly to a Brake Specific Fuel Consumption graph for regular fuel engines. An example is here Compared to a power efficiency map for a brushless motor. Now not a perfect example since we don't know what engines/motors...

I have looked at the underbody sheeting and spent some time on ecomodder seeing what the hypermiler guys are doing. In the end there are two schools of thought. Make the bottom good a d smooth, or keep the air from going under there in the first place. The downside to smoothing the underside...

There is nothing about this repair that is any more or less able to be done at home than on an ice truck. The repair cost isnt any more or less than ICE trucks. This is a coolant valve, go look up the ones being used on gas trucks. Not only are these just as repairable, there are less...

Thats not how that works. Yes, you could deliver less power, but to accelerate to the same speed it would take longer, so the end effect is the same. And thats only assuming you use full available power to accelerate every single time. There is driveline efficiency, but EVs have less efficiency...

No efficiency to be gained by turning down the power rating. The motors and electronics are as efficient as they are, thats mechanical and won't be changed by limiting the amount of power available.

It can potentially run your entire house but there are two things to consider. Total power draw is one. Specifically peak draw. If suddenly your electric heater and your electric water heater fire up at the same time it will likely trip the breaker. Its important to note here that the 240v...

I need to correct one thing. I thought the Tesla mobile charger was available with a J1772 connector but it looks like that is not the case. There are a variety of options out there for portable chargers. Just know that different outlets have different current capacities so you cant just use...

Some great discussion here. To add my two cents Go to www abetterroutplanner.com and get familiar with it, or get the app. From that plan your trips and see how the charging lays out. The default efficiency configuration in ABRP is pretty good for the regular truck (SR or ER) but you will...

"Lightning Forum Members" sounds a bit like LFMs. Although maybe "Ford Lightning Enthusiast Community", or FLECs... F150L LFMs Thank you for the update!
