I'm quite surprised by the low efficiency with that setup. Pulling our dutchman i was up closer to .95 and although that has more weight it looks much better from an aero standpoint. I wonder how much bearing servicing has. And of course tire pressure.

OP, get a camera on the dash showing what is happening. Or, if the switch itself changes position/indication video tape that. .. I found the auto high beams a little lax but not terrible however the Glare Free lights are much quicker to dim than the "whole" auto high beams.

Carscanner has a PID for brake line pressure. I verified that 1pd drive does not use friction brakes, not until the last 1mph or so to come to a complete stop.

There is one caveat to this. It does not illuminated the brake light in two pedal drive mode, even in Sport. Typically it wouldn't deceleration hard enough for it to be an issue but I have tested this going downhill with cruise set at a lower speed and suddenly releasing the accelerator. The...

You have been proved wrong on this so many times now I think YOU need to test it. I know that I HAVE tested it, we have even shown you the video evidence OF it being tested, I MADE those videos. And to be perfectly clear, because you continue to be confused by regen as well. REGEN is short...

I expect the HVAC controls are run through CAN, if so it should be possible to build such a system. Not exactly just adding some buttons however

So I have to ask, how is that better? I get the controls are more direct, but it requires MORE interaction, not less. That and you would still have to turn the AC off. And yes, I know those systems, I have three vehicles with that type of HVAC right now.

I wouldn't consider it in any way as "going back", not anymore than eating one French fry is the same as consuming a super sized big Mac meal. We are only talking a very small portion of use and even when using the system its still only a minor inconvenience in order to reduce other...

To each their own, but IMO dropping $5,000 to get less than 50 miles of range and then have to wait for that to recharge (it likely wont charge anywhere near as fast as the main pack) is far from what most who are interested in range extension want. You could charge it off the pro power, but...

There is another thread with more info. https://www.f150lightningforum.com/forum/threads/charging-while-driving-works-w-gas-generator-in-bed-range-extending-for-f-150-lightning.29842/ Oh, not particularly worried about affecting battery health if everything works well. But I have seen...

Plots showing the increase in range for a 10kw external feed, and a 19kw external (the ac charging limits of our trucks). This is for 80% battery usage, not the 100% range. I marked myself as interested but in truth would have major concerns about potential issues affecting the battery...

That is Fords website and it says "Starting at". Yes, the XLT is SR but so is the base Pro, and I believe the dual chargers are an option.

Before losses, so right around 10kw to the battery

Remember, the US is the third largest automobile market and our manufactures are global players. The top two markets have SIGNIFICANTLY higher EV marketshare than the US. If they cant make a profitable EV they are already behind and the only thing saving them are protectionist measures...

This is rather slow for the Lightning. Generally speaking below 60% SOC or so the Lightning will charge at ~180kw for a few minutes and then drop down to the mid 120s until 80%, at which point it plummets to around 50kw and continuously gets slower and slower as it approaches 100% SOC. At 60%...

We also need to not forget that something like the 2.7l v6 is capable of driving a full size pickup, and capable of driving a full size pickup with a trailer. The onboard generator does not need to be larger than one that is already capable of doing the job. In truth it can be much smaller...

Yes, 70kw is just over 90hp. It was a $16,000 accessory that had to be installed and removed at a Tesla service center.

Let's not forget that they rank at the bottom of nearly every reliability scale and their actual electric outing was their frigging halo car, and was absolute garbage. This wasnt just a no hemi, go electric, failure. It was a bad product worse product failure that was timed the same.
