There is not much buffer on the top. Module voltage at 100% SOC is 4.09v. Nominally max voltage for a NMC pack is 4.2. In the real world that's maybe 20 miles added range, at the expense of chopping battery lifespan in half.

"How Long" really depends on prep, maintenance, booster like products, climate, and of course the quality of the coating itself. I used C-Quartz UK on my Tacoma and a year and a half later it was still working. I have not coated the lightning but debating it since it was so easy to keep clean

A few more images showing the relation between module voltage and soc displayed, and "energy to empty"

Oh, nice find! Thanks! I have gone from 4.2 to 6.4 so there were quite a few. It was good to be able to read them again!

Random thought, have you checked your coolant level? A bit of that sounded like a pump catching some air. That or a bad bearing chattering.

Let's be clear here. The Lightning and the Mach-E are FAR too new to use as evidence for best charging practices. "Best" practices are looking at the long term lifespan, either for your use or for resale value. Since you cannot use the vehicle itself to come to a conclusion you have to look at...

Eih, it's a bit longer than 2-3 hours. I just did 1000 miles in my ER and for that it was 35 minutes every 2 hours of driving, I have to imagine an SR will be even shorter drive times (abrp put me at 1.5hrs driving for .5hrs charging in an SR). I digress. Over all my 1000 mile trip was right...

I would say so. A few others here have reported better deals on a Flash but not by a huge amount. I think $58 or so was doable a month or so ago. I think one guy got his for $55, but only the one iirc. Imo if you have them as low as they will go then $2k to go flash over a minimally equipped...

I'll fall back to my original comment were i purposely didn't say "exactly". You are right, we could get down into things like increased friction in the CV joints, internal resistance of the battery cells themselves, scrub rates of the tires, and as I said longer times at high speeds. I do...

I'm in the camp where 1. Flash 2. Pro with tow tech 3. The other pro. For the price difference the flash has a LOT of added features. Power seats and lane centering come to mind first for me. As for the pros, the one with tow tech is much better fitted out. The first pro is only and...

So somehow accelerating quickly changes what you get on the Interstate at a steady speed? Are you driving this interstate route for 3 miles? And somehow you drive the same interstate, in the exact same conditions, but sometimes at 55 (what, ten UNDER) but then also drive it at five over. And...

Yeah, I saw that. Figured tagging him may initiate an email to help bring him back. This was probably not the response he expected...

Well, i drive a commute every day of the week. I drive a road trip like 4-6 times a year. Saved more time not having to stop for gas every week than I have lost waiting to charge.

Hey. @Redlightning , did you ever follow through on this?

I have noticed it down the center but it's less obvious, to the sides is certainly more obvious. Mine disables in specific segments, if I had to guess I would say maybe 10 or so separate sections that turn on and off

OK, so let's make this easier Go check your tire pressure. Then do a 10-20 mile loop, long straight empty highway being best. Drive 10 miles one way, then turn around and drive right back. Drive at 65mph. Keep the windows up. Use the ac if needed. Set the cruise. Don't draft or tailgate. You...

I enabled glare free before my truck received its first update, mine have always been abrupt. Each segment immediately disables and then will fade back in very quickly. The bending is smooth and rapid.

Of note, most automatic systems run a higher air temp when using lower fan speeds. Try switching to floor and running a lower fan speed.

The "top buffer" was ultimately my reason for doing this. That top buffer is nothing more than limiting the maximum voltage. Pack voltage was 392v with a cell voltage of 4.09v at 100% displayed SOC. Assuming a 3.0v minimum voltage, and running the cells out to 4.2v per cell, would give you and...

Make sure you have a L2 charger, the battery won't precondition on L1. Precondition before departure, both cabin and battery (battery by setting departure time). Iirc remote starting the truck before you leave will also precondition the battery.
