Definitely limited air at windshield and floor. You hear everything from the passenger side. Need to check on the front vents but I didn’t feel a blast there.
When the Secretary of My Treasury requests a warm cabin, I oblige, though 99.98% of our travels don't require the frugality some may require to arrive safely & economically home.Something that I'm noticing from this thread is that you a lot of you really crank up the heat and here I am raw dogging it or going up to 68F (20C) max only when I need to defog the windows.
Yeah, I'm merely trying to help others verify consistency with our operation so they don't think there is something wrong with their ride. It's not ever going to run like an ICE heater that's for sure. I can't make it blow my socks off but I've never not been able to warm up when needed, just more of an ambient feel.Something that I'm noticing from this thread is that a lot of you really crank up the heat and here I am raw dogging it or going up to 68F (20C) max only when I need to defog the windows.
I personally chalk it up to years of running my Volt exclusively in BEV mode. Imagine having access to only 10.4 kWh and max charging of 3.3kW AC in the early days with a relatively non-existent public charging network. I guess old habits die hard and compared to before, we're now fortunate to have bigger battery capacity and extensive DCFCs.
Interesting. My Lightning gets uncomfortably warm when set to 68, but my Mach is barely comfortable there. Of course I don’t have a heat pump.
My opinion is that If i have to be uncomfortable to drive my car, then I bought the wrong car.Something that I'm noticing from this thread is that a lot of you really crank up the heat and here I am raw dogging it or going up to 68F (20C) max only when I need to defog the windows.
My Mach-E is a 23.5 which has the larger heater. Maybe that is the difference. For the lightning, did they pair the heat pump with a smaller heater than the earlier lightnings?
We haven't seen any diagrams on the new HP system for the Lightning, would love to see an extract from MY 2024 service manual.
"Full accessory" for some reason does not include climate. Living in the land of hot this annoys my wife the most since it’s super awkward for her to try to actually start the truck from the passenger seat so it’s hard for her to get AC in the summer.
I figured remote start was "Full Accessory", but it must be more because it energizes the HVB relays which you need to get the heat. Today I noticed that when the Lightning is plugged into the charger and I remote start it, it actually warms up nicely. The previous few remote starts were when it wasn't plugged in. Not sure why this seems to make a difference.
