I didn't watch this video, but I did watch a different one about sodium ion. Evident CATL is already making them, and they're making hybrid packs with lithium pouches beside sodium ion. That way you can get the benefits of both, so it could be an interesting thing if the prices can come down...
Consider yourself lucky, I haven't gotten any updates since December or October of last year. Only two or three updates in the 2 and a half years I've had the truck
See, this type of a solution would work well for me. I have an I-beam in my garage and I could just get a pully to roll along that and use it to load and unload the batteries from my truck when I need them.
It sounds to me like Ford is moving towards what GM did with their Ultium battery; making a modular battery system that will fit multiple different types of vehicles. Seems like a good move for them and it seems like it has been working out for GM also.
What excites me the most about this is the potential to add an additional battery pack in the bed for when it's needed, especially if there's one people could get from junkyard evs or something that would fit well in the bed. I'd prefer that over a generator, but obviously the cost would be...
If you really want to make sure that your battery isn't degrading, you can always get a OBD2 scanner and check it. There are cheap bluetooth ones available and you just download an app on your phone and connect
I agree with Scoobybri, I have a trailmanor trailer and a SR Pro and don't really have any issues towing. I charge to full before I leave and then just find chargers along the way. I average around 1.7-1.8 m/kw when I tow, and if your popup is smaller and lighter then you would do even better...
I've enjoyed mine so far. It has advantages going for it, as I can store it in my garage (just barely, it drops down to 18 ft long since I have the swinging trailer hitch) which I can't even do with my lightning, and it still can expand so there's a decent amount of space. I don't like the...
I'm envious of everyone getting updates. Last one I got was back in December for radio presets or something. I keep getting the icon that shows an update, but then when I go to check what it is it just shows that same radio update. I still don't have the update that shows the battery...
I've usually had good luck not having to unhook my trailer, but the last trip we had necessitated it. It honestly wasn't as much of a pain in the ass as I thought it would be, only added a couple of minutes to everything and it allowed me to not have to block any of the other chargers/lanes.
I bought a trailmanor for the same reasons! I averaged 1.7 to 1.8 going from Maryland to Pennsylvania and was very happy with the efficiency. With my Pro SR I would have been able to make the entire trip on one full charge, but I didn't want to end up at the campsite with no battery so I...
K, just wanted to make sure. My 12v battery is almost always above 90% anyway, I just never get an updates (at least not any real ones, I get the little icon saying I have a pending update all the time but it's never accurate)
I've retrofitted my Pro for the adaptive cruise control, would the comma work for me? I can't remember if there is a difference between ACC and the Co-Pilot 360 2.0 the website talks about
If that is the case you'll just need to run 4 wires from under the glove box to near the front bumper (if I remember correctly, mine had the wiring so I didn't have to run them). It's not difficult and you just need to buy some wiring and the pins that would then go into the existing wiring...
My tesla made adapter also derated during the heat of the last few days. Not a huge deal, but I don't think I ever went over 120 kw and it took at least 10 minutes longer to charge to what I needed.
