@JPro and @Traconesu both reporting issues following module replacements as part of 25s18. A blown fuse when out of town with vehicle, and a bad replacement battery module. Also seeing that similar harvest programs (mustang V8 engine heads) participation has sometimes been tied to warranty...

Maybe with your sway as Moderator you can help get @Ford Motor Company to advise the forum if this is in practicality a repair situation or a donation request? I see they are active elsewhere in the forum.

For those included in this campaign: The 8-year/100,000-mile warranty covers repairs or replacements for battery defects. If the campaign’s harvested modules had latent flaws (e.g., leading to gradual degradation), replacing them now could prevent a future failure that would qualify for a full...

Then you are totally uneducated on the topic and should stop the protest on behalf of Ford. The name of the campaign is Harvest Program 25H02, as evidenced by the title of the thread. The letter states “we are providing a no-charge Harvest Program for your vehicle”. Your confusion on the...

Am I in the charity business if I take my truck in for this battery module harvest? This is an honest question for other early adopters (not for @El Duderino and his 2025 Flash).

Wrong - they are being cagey about whether my own vehicle might have an equipment issue or not. It is debatable if replacing select modules and not the whole pack is any kind of reward for being a parts (drivetrain parts) donor. It seems only takes one sensor or software update to not like the...

Correct - I would have rather not gotten any letter than one saying they’d like to pick my vehicle apart with no clarity on whether there is or even might be an issue with it. Now I have to decide if I am going to be inconvenienced so they can potentially screw up my vehicle when it might be...

Got the letter. They want to harvest critical components from my fully functional vehicle to “build a community of happy, satisfied customers”. They might as well asked for my left nut to examine the virility of a sampling of Lightning buyers. I’m offended by the lack of transparency here...

Not sure there is money to be made trying to keep Tritium Veefil chargers up and running.

The top one that is not an add when you search Tesla. I determine route with ABRP app, and enter charging destinations into Google Maps.

Are you using Car Scanner, or some other method of knowing it is the vehicle requesting less power, and not the charger offering less? Most likely it is the vehicle - especially if it is the same slow rate at different chargers and/or different networks, but just wondering if you are sure. I...

I haven't tried because if using plug and charge it will bill at Ford's rate. If using the app I get Tesla's member discount when signed up (if traveling).

What interface is pushed back to 2025? Do you mind providing a source? ISO 15118-20 has already been approved. Maybe you mean a UL 1741 SC?

Yes, and those 1500 to 2000 cycles is probably an end of life number based on battery having 80% of original capacity (but still very useful).

More like 1,600 miles of energy throughput based on the new 50kWh per week for 16 weeks. And value is more like $1/kWh based on the new information. But more important is that there are no moving parts here - can hardly call it use of the powertrain. A 131kWh battery will hardly even notice 5kW...

So does the HIS system just try to prevent you from importing from the grid and not send any power back into the grid, such that if your house is only consuming 1kW the HIS is only taking 1kW from the truck? BTW, congrats on being in this program! Please stick around :) Also, I'm guessing the...

Estimated at $800 for access to 488 hours of discharging. If every hour the vehicle is discharging a full 9.6kW, this is 4,685 kWh of energy supplied. That works out to ~$0.17/kWh of delivered energy. Also, 12.5 years to pay back if not valuing resiliency benefits if it takes $10k to install...

And they will be locals for what it's worth. If charge point operators are motivated to sell kWh energy, they should be open to charging more for very low kW power rate charging (to 100%).

My ICECO APL55 has been just fine for many trips in hot camping, kept under a coiling black metal tonneau cover. And, when not comping it runs continuously in the house as a cool drinks fridge. @BougeRV - How about designing a single/dual zone cooler that maximizes the unusual volume of the...

Ok, but this is definitely not the point of my comments on the 12V battery and you quoted me. It does speak to a 12V system issues generally, but I don't see why the state of that module update would cause anyone to get stranded in a Lightning, other than maybe not having access to Supercharger...
