You have to use FDRS to update the modules. Forscan just lets you change variables to activate/deactivate things that are already there.

Maybe I'm the only one that remembers this TV show:

I have a mongoose and drop the $50 for a two-day license every few months to update everything. (I got into this when Ford took forever to roll out the original Bluecruise on my '21 Powerboost) There are so many little annoyances that get fixed in updates that it almost feels like a new truck...

If you look at the screen with the power distribution to the motors, I can almost guarantee you that one of the motors is receiving no power. It has happened to me once in 52k miles. Restarting the truck fixed it. Could be anything from a software glitch to a serious hardware thing.

Not the official way to use one of these, but I always just plug the adapter into the truck, and the push the Tesla cable into it. I get the immediate feedback from the charging ring this way.

Just a data point on battery degradation. I have a 2-day FDRS license to upgrade modules, so I ran their Battery Status tool. After 52,000 miles, mine is still showing 100%. (396.4 Ah capacity). I charge to 80% on a daily basis but will always go to 100% before long trips and have used DCFC on...

I have a NuCamp T@G, which is considerably shorter and smaller than your T@B. I get around 1.6 mi/kwh at 65 mph. I think the biggest gain is that my trailer is shorter than the truck cab, so it sits inside the slipstream. With that, I can push 200 mi on a full battery.

I know for iPhone, placement is key. Just throwing it on there, or even trying to center it on the pad will barely work, if at all. I haven't tried the top toward driver placement described above, but I know if I have the top toward the passenger and slide it so I can see 1 square of the pad's...

Until Ford started disabling Fordpass accounts that were using third-party access, I had a shortcut on my phone named "Kerchow!" which triggered the remote-start. Few things in my life have been cooler than raising my watch and saying "Siri, Kerchow!" I know that's very sad.

I call BS on the ~$0.70/kWH. Remember, you are talking to a car dealer... https://www.eia.gov/electricity/monthly/epm_table_grapher.php?t=epmt_5_6_a

I wouldn’t call Ford’s approach agile. Since they move slow and still break things.

I’m at 40,000 miles on the OEM tires and they don’t need to be replaced yet. For trucks, I have a feeling that the difference in weight is negligible. Probably more important is the surfaces you drive on regularly and how much you enjoy 0-60 in 4s

I have this issue also. I'm assuming it is a software thing that maybe they'll fix in a future APIM update.

36K (miles) in 1 Year. No problems other than CSP.

Also note, they can come in through the latch hole. I have some chew marks there where I left some food in the frunk on a camping trip.

I will second the speed/headwind. It is hard to overstate how much of an impact the direction and speed of the wind will have on your ultimate efficiency at highway speed. One of the things I love about ABRP for route planning is that it takes that into account. Also, I find the initial value on...

For me, I just use ABRP as a planner (either on the computer or my phone) and take note of the charge levels that it wants me to hit at each stop. I don't like it's routing as much as Apple's (although it's better than Ford's)

ABRP is awesome and has the most accurate estimates I've found. But I don't think it models precipitation very well. The only time I seem to find myself losing ground to its estimate is driving in heavyish rain (and I assume snow). But good to see it confirmed.

The 320 range is achievable if you are starting from 100% and drive 50 mph in warm weather. (I have had the privilege of driving under those conditions occasionally). However, one of the things we EV drivers have to do is reprogram our brains for the "rhythm" of longer road trips. If we drive...

This. I use ABRP to plan long roadtrips and then use Apple Maps (with the new EV routing) for the actual trip. ABRP seems almost always spot-on (taking into account wind, temp, traffic, etc) with the arrival SOC. I will then occasionally coerce Apple Maps into stopping or going to the chargers...
