In the photo in post #1 the only red line is at the six o'clock position. It pretty obviously means 0% SOC. I'm guessing that's not what @AlaskaFlash was asking?

At least they didn't lift the truck up by the battery skid plate like they tried on my truck AFTER I told them there were specific lifting points. I was able to intervene before any damage was done.

Thanks for the explanation. This was my intuition with my limited knowledge.

The odds this thing ever makes it to production are slim. The odds it makes it to production at the price they quoted are slimmer. If they declare bankruptcy you won't get your deposit back. It's only $50 though. Cheap bet. I see the appeal.

I'm not disagreeing with you at all. Forgive me if I left that impression. I tend to type stream of consciousness at times. The way you drive your truck is super efficient. It makes perfect sense.

Accelerating quickly doesn't really hurt efficiency in an EV like it does in a gas vehicle. There are all kinds of inefficiencies in a gas vehicle between the engine and transmission that I can't really speak intelligently about so I won't. Needless to say, these don't exist on an electric motor...

This is basically hypermiling. What psi do you run your tires? HVAC off?

Two steering wheels is more efficient.

0PD. That's a new one to me.?

This is the vehicle everyone says they want but no one will buy.

Wow, is Ford incompetent. Nobody cares about a marginal improvement in battery technology in five years. Just announce a fleet of self driving taxis "next year." And robots! Definitely robots.

This is normal. What kind of driving do you usually do? Do you have a short commute? A short commute where the HVAC is bringing your cabin up to temperature would skew the numbers lower. But if you have a short commute it doesn't matter what your efficiency is.

Can you expand on this? I understand heat but chemistry might as well be witchcraft.

Summer tires would be the easiest way to improve traction. Even with summer tires I don't think there is much room for improvement. +/- 4.0 seconds is incredibly fast!

What? No. Wheel spin contributes to loss of acceleration. TC is the only thing keeping you out of the ditch!? Jason Fenske from Engineering Explained did a video explaining max potential 0-60 time. Tl;dw: it's about 2.0 seconds, weight is good for traction, most cars don't have enough power.

It's the "everything is fine" chime. Don't worry about it.* * It's not the "everything is fine" chime. Probably don't worry though.?

I don't recall any major failures proceeded by reduced efficiency. Usually it's a combination of excessive speed and unreasonable expectations with the occasional low tire pressure or warm cabin. I see no reason to be worried unless expectations can't be managed and speed can't be reduced.

Is this the first time you've changed the filter on your '22?

I bet wiring is the limiting factor. At some point enough current will release the magic smoke. Where is that point?

In the case of headlights what we have done has always been wrong.?
