Intentional cold soak -15

[TMND]

No complaints here just curious if the motors temperature gauge is just a dummy gauge. Or possibly only registers overheating. I started up this morning and the motor is right on the line (always is -15 to 95) yet I didn’t lose a single percent of battery overnight so how is it at temp?

by the way, the only reason this was intentional is I would’ve had to move my wife’s car to charge and seeing I was almost at 90 didn’t bother

I'll take my 120F summers over -15F winter any day of the week. Good Lord man, that's cold. I'm kinda surprised you didn't lose any battery, it had to have done something overnight to keep the battery from going past the left hash mark. Very interesting.

I’m surprised it didn’t just show this on your screen:

you can only take so much off, but you can always add layers.

I agree about some energy usage. It was at 89% at midnight and 89% before I started the cabin from the app. That ran for five minutes and when I got in the truck and started, it was at 87 percent. So maybe a little

Speaking of gauge elements I don’t fully understand, what is the meaning of the energy guard not going to 100?

That’s showing you that the truck will only put out 66 percent of rated power. Cold temps and/or low soc. Betting your battery is cold

As pointed out above power to motors is restricted with such low temp's

This is where being plugged in and using the using departure timer will improve output, truck will warm the battery to allow it to offer more potential energy to the motors.

Keep in mind that 66% of your full power is still a lot of power. Your 0-60 probably slows to a sluggish 5 seconds.
