No reserve power

[stgrace]

I was supposed to end at charger with 2%, pushing it i know. It got low because I sped up for a bit. At 2% it rapidly dropped to 0 and died. No real loss of power first. My other evs had about 10 to 15 miles in reserve, appearantly this has none. Had I known I could have stopped earlier. It probably won't ever happen again but this is an issue for me.

This has been reported multiple times with the lightning. Going below 5% can be a gamble especially if you've been fast charging consistently with no time for the battery to settle. Should be noted that the same truck was used both times out of spec ran out

Out of Spec- 70mph range test- expected behavior-

Out of Spec- Lightning EA v Tesla Race to Florida-

Out of Spec- I-10 Cross Country truck race-

You won't find anything in the manual that says you have reserve capacity. Ending at a charger with 2% is simply foolish. Luckily you have free towing to the nearest charger. Bet you didn't know or utilize that...
