Smoother stops would be nice. Mine has a detectable lurch when it switches to friction brakes. If I try really hard and stop extra slowly I can avoid it but most of the time it's there. It's not bad by any stretch, but it's noticeable. Would be even better if it wasn't.

It has always driven me crazy that it doesn't respect the charging window. If you plug in at a low enough state of charge that it thinks you can't finish within the preferred charging period, then it will start charging right away. Interestingly it will stop at the end of your preferred period...

Electrify Canada as well. Same deal. You won't get a refund of any balance you currently have, but it will be applied on the next charge if you happen to charge there again.

If it's still only rated at 250 amps, you are certifiably insane plugging it in to a Supercharger that delivers 500 amps. I guess it's a good sign if it didn't catch fire immediately?

Your profile doesn't say what year your truck is. Some models have the ability to adjust the max current from somewhere in the charge settings in the truck. Mine does not. To be safe, you would use an EVSE that will only deliver 24 amps when using a 30 amp plug. That way it's "fail safe" and an...

Regardless of plug count. The root of the problem is that most DCFC stations are not pull through like all gas stations are. I'm glad Tesla dragged us kicking and screaming into the world of EVs, but I wish they'd had more foresight when setting the example for charging station design.

Tesla is the only one who truly understood that seamless public charging is REQUIRED to get people on board with EVs. Everyone else treats it like an afterthought.

An OBD dongle + Forscan are needed to change module configuration. For me that includes several things, all of which are important to me: - correct speedo/odo for tire size - glare free headlights - improve seat belt chime Forscan has a terrible user interface that feels 20+ years old, but...

That is exactly the problem that it solves. It dims the part where the other car is, and just that part, plenty early, leaving the shoulders at full high beams. It's really a great feature for those of us who drive rural roads with lots of deer and moose. Those long straight stretches where you...

Are those ABRP numbers, or your actual measured numbers? I am under the impression that you get that 500 amp 10 minute boost at the start regardless of your starting state of charge. Then the truck throttles to the "steady state" 350ish amps (120-130 kW). So there is no fixed "at X% SOC you get...

I glossed over that... yes, the first 10 minutes gets a boost no matter where you start, in my experience, so it doesn't affect my point which is there's no benefit to rolling into the charger running on fumes like there is in a Tesla.

I think that's only true for cars that charge faster at a lower state of charge. The Lightning's charge curve is pretty flat all the way up to 80%, so there's no benefit to running on fumes. In fact, its relatively low pack voltage means it's often limited by the amps available from the charger...

That's a different tire. Is your earlier comment about efficiency talking about this tire pictured, or the ElectricDrive AT?

It accomplishes the same thing though. Turning on Pro Power Onboard is another way to disable the auto shutdown timer. Myself I just do the Settings -> Vehicle routine every time. But people can do whatever works for them of course

If I have a dog that I think might go in the front, I move the seats forward and recline them all the way forward so there's no front seat to go into. Luckily my own dog seems content to stay in the back. Knock on wood. But yeah. We've been rolling our eyes for years at the lack of a proper...

Not just beta testing. Maybe consult with people who actually use the trucks when designing features. The reserve limit in miles/km is just stupid and needs to die. Do it in battery % state of charge.

I forgive its general inaccuracy. But for the BMS state of charge estimate to drop from 5 or 6 percent directly to zero, Found On Road Dead, is kind of unforgivable. In my opinion. I don't care about the distance remaining; I can do that part myself. But the battery percent should not drop to...

I feel like if you are dissipating 1 kW (or 6 kW!!!) as heat in your wires, you have some bigger problems somewhere lol. (That 1 ohm number must be way too high.) The principle is sound of course. Higher current = higher power loss. BUT there is also fixed overhead to run pumps, fans etc. in...

Thanks. Good to know... with previous reports of this issue, I think the consensus was the BMS got confused by repeated DCFC earlier in the same day/drive cycle. But maybe that's a red herring, or your BMS got just as confused for some other unknown reason. End of the day. I will definitely be...

Had you done any DC fast charging earlier in the day?
