"Battery" temp isn't the only temp to worry about. It could be limited due to the high voltage contactors, or some of the circuitry, or something else other than cell pouch temp.

It is a plastic, but that is like saying something is an engine, there are lots of different types. I have also used a clay bar which works the same. Great to have and cheap enough. As for scratches I have not noticed any. Now I don't do it daily, but I have done it a few dozen times and...

Completely agree with that!

...other than the fact they were right on the money...

Because towing, and has need to tow, are different things. I have a Lightning, and a travel trailer, and doing any distance using my one and only truck that cost a lot of money is not feasible. CAN it do it? Yes. Would you want to? No. An hour of driving for an hour of charging is not...

Yep, clean glass. I use a magic eraser then coat with rainx.

Yep, that's for AC charging and can be done on the truck or in the app

My pro does it as well and I dont have any of those options (LKA or BC). That said it takes nothing more than fingertip pressure to stop it

Absolutely nothing can be said about the tires or wheel if using the GOM as the measuring device. Bottom line, you cannot compare using that number on the dash.

Your assumption is that you cant still do those things with Bluecruise. It isn't one or the other, its both. You are still very much in control of what happens, you just also have a system that is handling a lot of the minutia as well. . That seems to be a common thread here, that folks are...

The owners manual recommends 90%. If you set a charge location you can set the charge limit for that location. That way you dont have to set a limit every time.

That refresh on the ICE f150 is part of the problem. The lightning was modeled after the previous style, so it was already behind. Plus it was hitting 5 years in already. As far as GM is concerned Ford was still behind on range and charging speed. I love they used regular truck design, but a...

Not that I disagree, but it was getting long in the tooth. Needed at least a mid cycle refresh and I have to imagine they needed to push hard on a full refresh to keep up with the GM offerings

Sure, anything over 50%, well even lower than that truth be told but then you run into other issues. Point being, yes, they degrade faster the higher the charge level. 80% is worse than 70%, and 90% is even worse than 80%. So every SECOND at 100% is worse than 99%. But in practical use...

Pretty sure its not "lost", its that the battery was mis-reporting the capacity before. I know when I charge to 100% charging slows dramatically at 99%, which indicates it isn't doing resistive power shedding but in fact tapering power delivery to only deliver energy to the low cells. Every...

No, you have it 100% backwards. Battery size, kwh, those ARE the actual numbers. That thing on the dash is a computer guess that has been PROVEN to be unreliable. It's a made up number, NOT actual. At the end of the day you have a battery that is 131kwh. If you get 2.0mi/kwh then THAT...

Until you get on the highway and drive as far as you can, you cant say this. The number on the dash has FROM THE BEGINNING been PROVEN to be unreliable. There is zero fundamental difference that would account for the range difference and we have never seen decreases in capacity from a small...

Very surprised, mine is a beast in the snow. I would say tires

https://www.mochaev.com/ Since they didn't provide a company link. Looks like a service for stranded EV drivers in the Austin area.

Man I hope this comes to my area soon. With Geo and a HPWH we could be very comfortable during an outage. I do need to find a good soft start for the geo though, which up till now it seems hard to find a well reviewed one.
