I know, that's significant tweaking on what is it, 2 or 3 modules to get the glare free feature.

A Kill-O-Watt or similar power meter could out rule any unwarranted load from the older cooler. But I suspect like others it could be a re-calculation of SOC based on temperature changes experienced by the BMS, plus energy to keep the battery in its happy zone.

That's correct. Apparently, you can adjust the target SOC using FDFS to around 90% from the default on some models that for some reason are pre-set at around 80%. I was reading that this can cause result in SOC fluctuations up to 98% though, so not sure if I want to try changing the default SOC...

Thanks Tim, but what is the voltage threshold for updates potentially failing?

Thanks for the heads up. I'm not one to repeat mistakes - that's why I'm on this board. That and to share whatever meager knowledge I can. We have a wealth of former electrical engineers and auto technicians. I can remember when even EVs were simple, a chopper controller, a bunch 6 or 12v...

That's $60 cheaper at $94.99 and 55A than the first one referenced above at 75A and $160.00 by RLXXI. I wonder if 55A is sufficient amperage?

I thought of an idea: I have a leftover AGM battery from a Chevy Volt that is actually perfectly good (didn't need to replace it after all). I could hook that up with a pair of jumper cables and then hook my 10A with 50A boost style charger to the battery to provide the extra oomph to get the...

Thanks for the consideration. I live in Yachats, Oregon, on a remote part of the central Oregon coast.

I thought I would just do the "Front Parking Sensors Unavailable" recall update myself, but now I'm re-thinking driving an hour to take it to the dealership vs. $198 for power supply plus $50 for FDRS again. Last time I took it to the dealer where I purchased it for this parking sensor recall...

Jeez, reading this thread is making me realize I could have learned the hard way as well. I updated a couple of modules using FDRS without any power supply on the battery. They were the modules related to a frunk partially opening issue. I think maybe they were the FHCM and BCM modules.

As an admitted coffee enthusiast, she's a person after my own heart. There's a guy that parks over by Pacific Sourdough (think pastries extraordinaire) that had the same idea. He's been doing it a couple years now. Haven't tried his coffee yet. It just doesn't get any better than coffee and...

Funny!

If you're genuinely concerned, you could get yourself a nice free network protocol analyzer like Wireshark and analyze the packets going to and from that IP - that would tell you what it's communicating with and possibly why.

It started downloading the Gateway Module update ECG-24.2.5.7. Which looks like it's not an inhibit update. Updates seem to be working now. I'll have to keep an eye on it and see if any come in after this initial one - both inhibit and non-inhibit. I hope they allow you to manually okay the...

I hadn't received an update since Nov 15th 2024. I just went behind the wheel and checked my update settings. Under scheduling it said it was set to Mon-Thur at 1:00AM, but I don't remember ever setting it to this. I removed the scheduling and set it to "None" and saved and immediately I...

Thanks, yes this is what I do, and I set the center display to "This Trip" and watching the timer I bump the wheel a little every time the seconds round to zero though I find it can go up to 14 seconds without the warning. I do keep my hand close at hand on the wheel to correct of course. Very...

Thanks! This fixed my issue when executed exactly as you instructed. No trip to the dealer and strut replacement! I signed up for the trial of Forscan to activate Antiglare headlight functionality and tweak a few other settings like light bar intensity and tap click (lane change) turn signal...

I've often seen those low consumption rates when driving around town which is fairly flat at speeds of around 35-45 mph.. I think wind resistance is definitely a factor. Everything has a bearing on the outcom though. I'm thinking about upping the tire pressure to around 48 and see if it...

Sorry, This was my first post and I posted to the wrong user.

I read that when you receive this error you could try initiating the charge using the Tesla app and that should initiate the charge. The Ford update for Tesla charging is supposed to fix this issue. -Bill
