I think this is your opinion and not based on data or science. Yeah you are correct in the fact the PTC/HP do generally create heat faster, but to a delta that works to your analogy is not correct.
Pouring hot water on the windshield is an instant transfer of energy and shocks that glass in...
I guess I will ask, are you sure he got the ER version over the SR version that is for sale?
I ask cause that range for percentage is low for an ER. A lightning should easily get 1.5 m/kW with reasonable temp and only 70 mph. So over 200 miles. To only get 90 miles at 70% of the battery that...
Sadly going to be a call for you and what you are seeing regionally.
Then you would want to make sure you want the Platinum over a Lariat. To me if I could find a Lariat for a few grand cheaper I would go that way with the range hit the larger wheels give and not a huge amount of difference...
While the not shutting down is a different subject, some of the LVB drain could be your data logger too. I have woken up to A low LVB warning a couple times because I turned Car Scanner on while it was charging and didn’t close the app or disconnect and it stayed connected and slowly drained...
Maybe we will all get lucky like the Bolt owners and in 4 years Ford will be replacing all our batteries and giving us another 8 year 100,000 warranty ?
Originally I planned on taking it off during the winter, but ended up leaving it on. Since we don’t get that cold (except this year as it seems to be below freezing more) I was able to use it into early November with a 0 degree bag. And plan to start using it next month again.
If I bought...
This seems like an odd decision by Ford. I get that basically it is the same battery with one less module and hit helps differentiate the higher trims more from the Flash, but it add an extra complexity to service and ordering, makes the XLT and Flash fall further behind the competition in...
Don’t have that brand, but have one and love it.
Mine is mounted just above the bed and have no impact to range. The extension behind the gate is a problem for spacial awareness when backing as the BLISS will think you have more distance then you do have.
The other issue is stability on...
They are contributing to the discussion, by sharing how they road trip. Often many people do alternatives to exclusively DCFC on a road trip. So it is nice to mention others approaches too.
You don’t need to justify things. You do you and enjoy it. That others think is irrelevant and only a narcissistic would try to distort reality to try to make you think what you are doing is wrong.
I think you having more than one car for different uses is totally normal.
But why the ? do they have to sell it to anyone? It is a personal choice and a decision that is theirs and a partner’s if they have one.
We all do different things for our own reasons and we can express them without giving a ? about it being a hard sell to you or others.
Maybe they want...
But they still fail to honor our subscriptions. @Ford Motor Company surveyed quite a while ago about adding that to the “Blue Oval Network” and still nothing. That is a huge failure of the system. I would much rather keep plug and charge off and save 25% when I need to DCFC. ?‍♂️
