I was curious how it would behave when it got down to 3-4% SOC, so I took a short detour on the way home tonight. I was monitoring with the CarScanner app, and the actual SOC was always a few percent above actual.
When it got below 5%, the power delivery meter on the left cut down to 53, and then 23%, telling me how much power was available on tap. It was giving me chimes for the last couple of miles before killing power altogether, telling me I had 1% of normal power to use. It coasted down to about 15 MPH with the pedal on the floor about 1.5 miles from home, so I quickly turned right into a gas station.
As soon as I got into the parking lot, the power meter jumped, giving me 18% power. it was like flipping a switch; the throttle pedal worked again. The truck deliberately withheld power to get me to stop driving, but then let have it again. I turned out of the lot and made it home without issue, and it gave me 23% power the whole way.
These were taken after I got home. The app indicated I had almost 4% SOC remaining, but the gauge was pegged at 0.
