Battery and Motor Temperature Dashboard Display Always at Midpoint

The IPC UI leaves a lot of room for improvement. It would be nice to be able to build your own cluster design. The Mustang and Mach-E digital cluster has a much better design IMO.

The Mach-E has no flexibility at all. You get what you get and that’s it.
But if you like it, the Lightning quiet screen is very close. That’s what I use.

This thread was suggested to me buy i was looking to see if thermostats have been an issue. I, like all of you, have never seen motor temperature move from midpoint. And my cooling fan runs in -5 ambient temperature. And wve though truck hasn't moved in hours. That motor temp is stilling the middle. So whatever temperature that's supposed be usual operating temp is where my motor stays. How is it not cooled completely off by now? And remember I'm talking about motor. I realize they wanna keep battery somewhat warm. But that would be a waste of energy to keep motor warm. Let's face it a warm motor is for all practical reasons a hot motor as far as my skin can tell. Yet if you could have your motor down to -5 and it costs you no warm up energy, that's a good thing. You want a motor cold as possible. If you could get it down to supercooled at 2 degrees Kelvin, you'd instantly have the most efficient E.V. ever built. Am i missing something here?

The motor temp gauge is really at base on the midpoint, the engineers are concerned when it gets to hot, I've hardly ever seen mine show excessive warm conditions, but I live in moderate summer temps in southern New England

2024+ Lightnings with a HP Heat Pump have the evaporator/condenser fan up front, it is moving ambient air to extract heat for warming the cabin while the truck is running, hopefully it cycles once the cabin temp goal is reached.
