Does this reduction in power seem legit?

Hmmmm, I would think we should be advised by the MoCo about such a change of strategy
2.5 years in, and the lack of information supplied by Ford on changes they've made is shocking. Even when they do communicate, it is not usually to all owners, nor complete. Single biggest failing is communication IMO.

No other active faults. I was confirmed for a module replacement, dealer said it was safe to drive until it comes in…would suck to find out it wasn’t 1000 miles from home.
I think that module that needs replaced is failing. It may be safe to drive, but you won't have full power. And others have experienced charging problems with bad modules.

Is power still going to the front motor, or is this a uniform reduction of power to both motors?
I didn't even think to check..

As an update this AM woke up to it still being reduced. A couple hundred more miles and temps went from low 20s to mid 40s, after another DCFC (3rd of the trip) my power reduction disappeared.

I’m still not sure why, especially since I’m seeing temps that are pretty regular for my area. The most likely is what @Pioneer74 suggested is I have symptoms of a failing battery cell.

As long as I can get back home I’m good, but this will mean Im likely shelving the Lightning when it comes to road trips until I can get it replaced.
