What I can say is the heat pump is a bit noisy and has vibrations you can feel in the steering wheel and center console. Mildly annoying.
I had a 2023 XLT ER and I can't say I am seeing much efficiency boost from the heat pump, if anything, right now. Perhaps when it gets colder here.
That's a good point. I will keep an eye on it. I do expect a power reduction when cold -- that's battery chemistry in action -- but wasn't sure what was normal with this truck.
I have a 2024 Flash and bought it back in July. Until this morning, I have never seen the maximum power be reduced from 100%. Today it is down to 91%. I have run the vehicle down below 42% SoC before this without losing maximum power. It was somewhat chilly this morning -- around 38F -- but...
My initial thoughts given the current temperatures is that the heat pump isn't making much difference right now. Temps are in the low 40s currently, but will get cooler as we approach winter.
Now that the cold has arrived, I have noticed that I can hear and feel a vibration from under the frunk area when demanding cabin heating. This was not something I noticed on my 2023 XLT ER, so I assume it's coming from the heat pump. Seems fairly noisy to me, but wondered what others thought...
Just a follow-up question on this: does anyone know if the front windshield camera is supposed to be hermetically sealed against the glass or is air allowed to freely move in and out of the camera lens area?
I purchased my 2024 Flash back in July. As the weather has been getting colder in my area, I have seen the pictured error messages show up. Yesterday was particularly cold and I actually noticed there is condensation on the inside of the windshield between the glass and the windshield camera...
Thanks for the feedback!
For what it's worth, I am looking at going with 265/70/18s and not the 275/70/18s because the 265/70s are 4-ply standard-load (load rating 116, which matches the 20" tires). I suspect the E-rated tires on your truck are one of the reasons for the efficiency drop on top...
I already had tried this once. Tried is again, unfortunately it did not work. The app programmers are absolutely terrible today. They apparently do zero testing of their code.
Just got the 5.6 update today on Android. Well, the Location feature is now broken and doesn't do anything when I tap it. It used to show a map of where the truck is. Are others having this same problem with 5.6?
I drove a WT4 model a few months ago and was not impressed by the Silverado. There was a lot more road noise and the seat wasn't comfortable. And for the $80k they were asking back then, it didn't even come with a heated steering wheel. When I got back in my Lightning, it was a much nicer...
A few months ago, I completed the buyback of my 2023 XLT ER with Ford. The process went smoothly and I entered the market again for another EV thinking I would get something other than another Lightning. I looked at and test drove several different competitor EVs (Silverado EV, Honda Prolouge...
