So, not sure what happened Tried to test preconditioning and charging speeds today. Took off from home and AA was routing to the local charger (had looked it up when stopped). Battery was at 50f and it appeared that it started preconditioning. Stopped the routing (preconditioning stopped)...

At some point having the option to purchase a membership discount is in no way the same thing as there ever being, or even the plan of having, a charge to USE the network.

I think someone adjusted the tire size down a bit in FORSCAN and gained 2mph. This was on the dragstrip. That is the only thing I have seen.

I find that "creep" immensely helpful, not just a "the way it used to work". Be it the final touches on parking, positioning in the garage, connecting a trailer, backing to a loading dock, closing space at a light, pulling ahead for a turn, etc. I think the issue here is that 1pd has to apply...

Range extenders have really been the only answer. Not hybrids, neither serial or parallel (ahem, Ram / Scout), but range extenders. Not every truck needs to go long range, not every truck that needs to go long range needs to do all the time. The downside is that if you DO need to go long range...

I think it's safe to say that from what we have seen, dealers who are sitting on trucks two years later are sitting on trucks two years later for a reason, and that reason isn't because they are trying to sell them.

Good to see Ford continuing to add to the network! I will second the desire for memberships to be included though.

Bilstein did not make a Lightning specific set of either the 5100s or the 6112s unfortunately. Fronts are the same dimensions as regular F150 but the lightning does carry more weight, the rear is obviously different (although is maybe just 2018 front shocks!?). The 6112s use their own spring...

Floaty will be dampening. I will STRONGLY recomend Bilstein 5100s, or 6112s if you have the coin.. The digressive valving is what you are looking for and will get rid of the float, give a tight sports car like feeling, without being harsh. Unfortunately Bilstein only makes struts for the...

I'm pretty sure the "Start" he is referring to there is the start option for the charging.

I think there is caution needed here. Switching to Sport or Tow/Haul does not appear to "precondition" the battery. I do not believe that it will warm the battery at all. I do see it somewhat cooling the battery but in my testing, which was a while ago now, I believe it just lowered the max...

Agreed. Mostly just pointing out that this is not a failed, or didn't fail, situation, there is a pretty significant nuance to it.

I wonder if they are seeing this as a prerequisite for a wider BC1.4 rollout.

Disagree. FORSCAN changes a configuration. OTAs could change the size of that configuration, location of bits in the configuration, and the bit values themselves. If an OTA updated that config and you revert to a version prior to the OTA, it is entire possible it change bits in that config to...

The issue isn't reliability, the issue is capacity. That is that we know with certainty is reduced by sitting at 100% charge, it is also something that is reported on by the BMS and can be retrieved with a scan tool (to as much as can be believed). Any component can fail, but we are not talking...

I have wanted to push mine down into the low single digits, just to help calibrate the BMS, but have been afraid to do so. With the reports of SOC suddenly plummeting below 10% i could be local and still not be able to get home, or to a charger

That doesn't mean the battery won't be at 71% capacity in 8 years, instead of 85. Both still sufficient to maintain the warranty. Or worse, 68% capacity, so they swap in one refurbished module, bringing it up to 71%. Bam, meets the 8yr warranty. Let's not forget that 70% capacity is 225 miles...

Looks like that is going to be difficult for me...lol

I'm 10.1.0 (not EAP), but seem to be on the update cycle right now , I might try and DCFC before the update to see. The temps here are cool so I'm guessing there shouldn't be any throttling. Previously my truck maxed at 167kw with a sustained 123kw, so it will be interesting to see where I am...

The reason to not charge to 100% is for battery longevity with charging to 100% (and keeping it there) being relativly hard on the battery and reducing its lifespan. This is why the manufactures recommend only charging to 90%. However battery degradation at 90% is still quite a bit higher than...
