Seems odd. On my truck the default is 90%. You can change it in Charge Settings in the truck. It's a one time change though. And watch out for congestion fees; if the Tesla station is busy and charges congestion fees, then stopping at 80% is what you want.

The battery doesn't hold miles. It holds kWh. Only the battery percentage matters. The truck has no way of knowing if you're going to be towing a trailer at 90 MPH uphill with a head wind, or putt-putting around town. It is literally impossible to have an accurate measure of future range.

I definitely have 500 amp charging now. I can't say 100% for sure it was this update, but I don't recall getting any other PCM updates before this one.

My 12 volt badly needs replacing, but I was able to do this update with just a 2 amp trickle charger connected. The voltage did drop as low as 11.4-11.5 volts during the update. I had had the truck "on" for about 3 hours to hopefully charge the 12 volt a bit first, but it doesn't hold much now...

Yes, there is a buffer on both the bottom and top end to protect the battery. So 100% displayed is less than 100% actual, and 0% displayed is more than 0% actual. (Though we cannot use the buffer... if you hit 0% displayed, you're done driving lol) So it is a mathematical certainty that the...

What if it's cold outside, and I want all the power I paid for? Not having manual battery conditioning is an egregious omission in my (humble 😁) opinion.

General consensus is the Ford HIS solution was garbage anyway. It never worked reliably. Now that the truck is discontinued one might hope they would open up the interface to allow third parties to do it right, but that's probably a pipe dream for liability reasons. If you have the 9.6 kW pro...

I like the resistive heat on my 23. It's fine in the cold - have to manually encourage it to direct enough air to keep the windows clear, but the heater can keep up. At least down to -30 C or so. Can't recall if I've driven in colder. Haven't experienced the heat pump to compare. My thought...

There was one up here last year https://vancouver.citynews.ca/2025/05/31/abbotsford-parking-lot-fire-reports-of-ev-exploding/ Edit: thread on it: https://www.f150lightningforum.com/forum/threads/lightning-caught-fire-in-canada.28204/ I never heard any follow up as to the cause.

So is it actually impossible to use a slim jim, or just that the guy who tried wasn't skilled enough? Seems like that ought to be the easiest.

So people can't steal your Tesla adapter. Seems like a good update

70 kW is what I've seen when the battery pack is cold. In those temperatures maybe the pack cooled off in the hour of driving. BUT it usually warms up during fast charging and the speed should ramp up. So it could have been a problem with the charger. Hard to say without an OBD dongle so you...

There is a manual frunk release down by the driver's left foot

Yes, my 2023 just got PU-SYNC-25.2.1.6.5 and then IPMA-24.204.10.9 over the last couple of days. Only a year +/- since release lol. Ford's update system is really something

It's the most comfortable place to hang out... I find excuses to go for a drive quite often 😆 I'm at 68,000 km in 2 years

My phone (17 pro) always connects fine on a cold start of the truck. But when I leave the truck "running", as I normally do while out and about, fairly often it will fail to reconnect once I get back to the truck. Usually hitting the connect button on the Phone List to manually reconnect works...

Your 12 volt battery is getting weak. If the voltage drops, I think the main audio system module gets shut down to conserve power, and on startup it will use a smaller in-dash speaker instead of the main speakers.

NGL that was one of the drivers for me to go electric. I walk my dog lots and whenever a truck goes by, you can smell the exhaust for a while. If it was just started and running rich, or one of the many "deleted" trucks around here with no emission controls, it's particularly bad. In winter you...

You don't say what year your truck is, but I'm guessing 23. This thread is referring to 2022. But in general the issue is that *nobody* understands all the nuances. Updates are rolled out *individually* to each vehicle depending on 12 volt state of charge, phase of the moon or who knows what...

Thanks guys. That is enough info to be dangerous I think 🤪 For just the 12V monitoring I think I'd be fine with the app from the BM200. I'll start with that. What I was thinking longer term was for monitoring the interior temperature. Even though I've had no problems to date, leaving the dog...
