So no dcfc for you ?

Pretty much all governments subsidize their auto industry, either directly or indirectly. What's the difference between helping a company get started and helping one stay afloat ?

So let's ban anything unsafe (motorcycles, etc.) and let's mandate alcohol interlocks, enforce / block vehicles speed to the speed limit and limit acceleration rates to 0.3g or something so no vehicle can accelerate from 0-60 in less than 7-8 seconds. We should also require annual health and...

Agree 100% - of the lariat wheels #2 is my favorite, #1 is Ok too, but bronze doesn't work on the lariat wheels. It does work on these 22"s though ❤

There's dedicated data points for module variation, for both voltage, state of charge and capacity. There's also an extended battery report that can be pulled via FDRS (and maybe PTS - don't remember). So using SoH as your "outta whack" indicator seems a bit redundant. But, it's a valid...

It's not BS as such, but it is also not a standardized unit, it's a calculated number or a "guesstimate". For all we know Ford doesn't even use the same algorithm/formula between the Lightning and the Mach-E. So, it's a good indicator, but nothing to obsess about.

Are you referring to removing checks and balances, or what ? Isn't it kind of convenient to claim that you are unable to do something when you don't want to

My concern is that Ford will deny any warranty claim with the excuse that the vehicle haven't been maintained if there isn't a record of it. So I bring it in for the paper trail, not for the excellent service they (don't) provide.

Mine is in right now for the 30,000 service plus recalls... Same story where they admit? to not doing the inspection. "I need 30,000 miles service less tire rotation and cabin filter" Dealer - But then there's nothing left to do !? "What about the multipoint inspection?" Dealer - But there's...

Absolutely, that would be what competition is all about.

Ah, gotcha, sorry ! Suppose were more or less on the same page.

So, instead we should apply protectionism and tarrifs, and then kick out the cheap labor that was here (not getting into the right and wrong or the legal aspect here, just saying that you won't find many people willing to do s-t jobs for s-t pay). So now labor cost goes up, prices go up and as a...

I'm not sure where I stand. I work in a field where tinkering is inevitable, even though it shouldn't. Somehow people assume that it's always deep down under the hood, gimme the source code of your firmware type sh-t even though they haven't even checked if the damn thing is plugged in. Just...

So you're talking about individual components/modules needing certain software (after being replaced) to play nice with the rest of your truck ?

While not the same - it's not all that different either, when the FCC threatens to revoke the license for those who do not "operate in the public interest". Six of one half a dozen of the other...

At what point was there a software function that prevented you from using your vehicle as intended ?

It's been a month since I made that statement and it was not about battery design or chemistry in general, it was related to your statement that going below 90% for four days was bad. While "below 90%" technically could be anything between 89.9999 and 0%, I doubt that 85% for four days is a big...

Not sure what the offset on those wheels are, if they protrude much more than OEM, but I notice a 5-10% drop in efficiency when going from OEM Lariat to OEM (non-aero) 22s and my 22s are Heavy!, like 75-80lbs. So I think you're looking at other things than just weight with your setup.

Boy did the headline of this thread have me fooled...

VERY interesting! Any chance you could get some pictures to share ? Also, do they have an idea/opinion as to what caused the wear in the first place?
