  1. Battery warming when cold, and plugged into 240v

    Very interesting. I need to pull some of my data, although I wont have full charging data (my logger shuts off). My standard routine is to pull in the garage and plug in. If the battery is cold I immediately here the pumps kick on once I put it on the plug. If I open the truck later the...
  2. Battery warming when cold, and plugged into 240v

    I have never once observed meaningful heating of the battery off plug, parked or driving. Maybe, and a big maybe, when pack temps were in the 20s a trickle of heat was pushed to the battery, but heater power stayed below max and coolant inlet temp ticked up to the low 30s and pack temp went up a...
  3. Battery warming when cold, and plugged into 240v

    Fwiw mine never seems to warm the battery itself when off plug, even driving highway speeds wont warm the battery up. Leaving work i have seen the battery down to 20f and it stayed there the entire 20 min drive home. I have a nice warm garage (not usually heated but never drops below 45) so I...
  4. GM writes down $6 billion of EV debt

    "Government subsidized" Its almost like they figured out how to position themselves for the global market. Oh well, the only reason the US had EV subsidies was to save the planet.....
  5. Factory front and rear height difference - why?

    Same for trucks with rake. That isnt an issue with leveling it
  6. Factory front and rear height difference - why?

    Headlight leveling has nothing to do with rake. No, trucks do NOT come for the rated load. My headlights are aimed, from the factory, using normal leveling UNLOADED. lift kits dont change anything, the lights get aimed with those too.
  7. Towing an Airstream Bambi 16 (3000lb) without a WDH?

    Fwiw I was disappointed in the stability of the Lightning when the rear is heavily loaded. Both with weighting the bed, and with an improperly setup WDH. Imo the independent rear causes a bit of wandering when its loaded. Personally I would look to get a WDH on it.
  8. Introducing Ford AI Assistant

    Rofl, which is funny considering Edsel fought against the stodgy stuck in the mud Ford leadership and was undermined because his cars were too forward thinking
  9. What would you change with forscan on a 2025 Flash?

    Its not for rolling the windows down when driving. I dont precondition the cabin. Waste of energy trying to turn very hot air into cold air, I would rather let the very hot air out and then turn outside temp air into comfortable air. Put simply, the point is to roll the windows down before you...
  10. GM writes down $6 billion of EV debt

    Assuming a perfectly free market is a perfect market that will adapt and provide what is best for the consumer is a fallacy. The consumer, people, are heavily biased and manipulated. They will choose what's best for them right now, not what is best for them in the long run. They also rarely...
  11. Introducing Ford AI Assistant

    Wow! Lots of fear here. "Not in my truck" "I wont buy another Ford" "How do you turn it off" "Its watching us" Its concerning how many here dont understand what "AI" actually is. Bottom line, dont like it, DONT USE IT. "AI" is just a fancy way to write computer code. The AI here is just a...
  12. Ford app 6.4.0 & 6.4.1 update iOS & Android

    No updates here (Galaxy S23u). Checking Google play via the web indicates 6.4.0 was released 15 December. Looking back using APK mirror it seems Ford is releasing around twice a month. Once early in the month, a second mid-month. The only exception to that was October when 6.0 dropped and...
  13. Weird Charging Issue -- Possibly after module replacement

    20% variation this many months later isnt proper. I suspect this isnt from your original module replacement but instead is from something else (another bad module perhaps). I wonder if a solid fast charge session would trigger a CEL
  14. COLD roadtrip in Norway and Sweden.

    Amazing story, thank you. And amazing country! Having visited Oslo and Kirkiness i found Norway to be fantastic (even in February). There is a thread here about noise insulation, I do wonder how much of an impact it would have with temperature control. I do think it would be quite impactful...
  15. What would you change with forscan on a 2025 Flash?

    I take it as just a different way to ask what people find to be the most impactful changes to them. While also ensuring the changes were applicable to the 25 (i.e. at one point glare free didnt work on some models). Global windows can be handy in the summer. To be honest, lots of mods sound...
  16. Red Truck Icon of Doom and Stop Safely Now {Fixed Post #24}

    True I wonder if there are some PIDs for each individual cell.
  17. Options for removing running boards

    Power running boards are so much more useful than the fixed ones. They drop down much further and come out farther making them actually useful as a step. It actually makes you want to use them rather than just stepping over them.
  18. Red Truck Icon of Doom and Stop Safely Now {Fixed Post #24}

    Is that something you can request of the dealer?
  19. How to precondition the battery for fast charging when your complementary advanced navigation has expired and in motion?

    Navigated via Android Auto to a DCFC yesterday in 25 degree weather, pack at 44 degrees. No preconditioning happened on the way there, pack temp was exactly the same and inlet temp dropped from the 30 or so degrees to the ambient temp. Upon plugging in the truck ramped up the heater and...
