  1. Got My First Thumbs Down [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS]

    Very few even notice. I've never had any negative responses other than when discussing towing or driving 2000 mile road trip. People notice when I pop the Frunk to load things. I've had a few folks run over and ask where the engine is. I usually start by saying, "Not sure, I guess they...
  2. HVB temperature and range

    I'd lean toward the driving situation rather than the overall efficiency but keep it as a watch item. I do a 370-mile round trip fairly regularly which takes 2 DCFC stops due to the location of the chargers. The efficiency stays pretty consistent before and after the charge stops. If...
  3. Tesla adapter ETA?

    The link doesn't work for those of us in the Great White North. This is what I get when I check status with the link provided in the email. If I call them, I'll likely get the same response as @Lightning101. Hurry up and wait....
  4. Look a truck doing truck stuff!

    Be careful on the right pedal. The Lightning has a quick unload feature at the bottom of the pedal and you don't want to find it by accident at a stoplight :cool:
  5. Power of the Tailgate

    While your second sentence is correct, a torsion bar IS a spring and works on the same physics principles as a coiled spring (twisting of the bar whether coiled or straight.).
  6. Power of the Tailgate

    The tailgate is also counterbalanced with a spring so it doesn't feel so heavy. You should be able to stop it with minor resistance. If you have the full weight of the tailgate, perhaps your spring is not set or attached correctly. Mine feels pretty light compared to my older trucks without...
  7. Unidentifiable Trim Piece

    Frankly it is a really simple piece that just snapped off with a trim tool after removing the license plate holder. The front license plate holder screws right through that piece into the two centre holes although it doesn't look like you have a front license plate. If you have to fix this on...
  8. Unidentifiable Trim Piece

    The part number is NL34-17D957-A-PIA-03. Ask the dealer to look that up. I wasn't able to find it online but maybe someone with access to the Ford systems can find it.
  9. Stuttering at 47-52mph

    I have the issue but no cap. I have a sturdy Diamondback HD cover on the back that probably weighs in the neighbourhood of 140 lbs.
  10. Unidentifiable Trim Piece

    Can you send a picture of the slots so we can see how it comes off? Better to know than to break the tabs.
  11. Normal LVB State of Charge Draw Down

    There are lots of threads on this one. The truck shuts many modules off in a sequence, eventually shutting down the modem and going into deep sleep mode when the SOC drops too far. When I tested, this seemed to be around the high 40s% on my truck using an independent battery monitor, but I'm...
  12. Anyone done a deep dive into real Level 2 charge efficiency?

    I wouldn't worry about pulling the cover. I'm testing this weekend at 48 amps and will compare what I get at 32 amps and what you get at 80 amps. I suspect they will be pretty close to your 91% give or take a percent.
  13. Anyone done a deep dive into real Level 2 charge efficiency?

    Awesome tracking. Do you always charge at the full 80 amps? Just curious if you see a difference in efficiency if you charge faster or slower. If you have this in a spreadsheet, you can work out the efficiency (probably Fordpass KWH/FCSP KWH would give a pretty accurate efficiency). I'm...
  14. Anyone done a deep dive into real Level 2 charge efficiency?

    Last Saturday night I added 69kw to the truck and my Emporia measured 77kw consumed. Roughly 90% efficient running 32 amps. I'll run it again this weekend at 48amps and see where it lands, but I'd guess 90% efficiency will be pretty close for most L2 charging.
  15. FordPass Update 5.0.0 -- Complete Redesign [5.0.3] bug-fix

    Odometer is there under vehicle health. No user manual that I can find.
  16. Load Management for EV Charging

    I run the 48amp Emporia like others on the thread. It recharges my ER from 20-85% easily in my 8-hour low rate window. It keeps me running in the 180-200-mile daily range when needed. Most of the time I have it set to 32 amps and only dial it up to 48 amps when I need to do back-to-back long...
  17. FordPass wildly underestimating charging times

    After 2 years, I've learned to plan my stops myself. #1 reason is the apps don't consider the actual charge rates of the various chargers and some are just better than others by a fair bit. If I select known good chargers, it cuts my charge time in half. #2 reason is @rio' s callout. It used...
  18. Voltage verse SOC

    Battery voltage on this battery chemistry isn't particularly useful. It might be fun to watch the HVB voltage, but unless you are over 80% or under 30% the voltage should remain quite consistent in any given environmental condition.
  19. Brake Job -- Anyone?

    Good callout. This is a very often under-maintained item. Brake fluid is Hygroscopic and will absorb water from the air over time contaminating it and evetually causing internal corrosion. Most modern systems are pretty well sealed now however Ford's maintenance schedule recommends changing...
  20. Running the Battery to 0%

    No adapter with my early 2023 delivered Dec. 2022.
