For Gods sake go pay Elon for his software instead of trying to re invent the wheel. You will still have a massivly ineficient vehicle but at least the software will be reliable,,,,,,AND USABLE.

First you need a software defined vehicle to run it.

So, in other words, if Ford is only looking for Pro Power Onboard stories to advertise their technology, they've officially converted the Home Integration System to a "non-person." Why not search for stories about how the Home Integration System automatically came on and backed up homes, as Ford originally trumpeted when unveiling the Lightning? Oh, wait, after over 3 1/2 years, Ford, high-tech company that it supposedly is, has never been able to get HIS to work right and has apparently abandoned those who bought the system. No word of a forthcoming fix or a buyback. Be sure to buy a Ford if you want that sort of support from @Ford Motor Company.

At -26c it gets half the distance even after being plugged to 100% and a battery charger on all the time. After 200km I was down to 20% and the low charge lite was on.
If anyone from Ford reads this please for Gods sake buy Elons software and make this miserable peice of shit truck at least a tolerable vehicle.

You’ve never owned a Tesla have you? A Tesla would give you an over optimistic range estimate and either strand you or make you wait 1/2 an hour on the charger before it even starts charging at those temps.. Also you would lose battery charge just sitting in the parking lot and then another 5% every time you start the car. That’s a lived experience.

Not to mention if you leave Sentry mode on!
