Then I mis understood.
The only way to precondition the battery is to set a departure time. Only worthwhile if you need the added range that comes with a warmed battery. If you don't need the range it's just a zero sum game that spends energy.
It's just the climate button. Runs it for 15 minutes or you can extend it once(for a total of 30 minutes) last I played with it
But if you use both the 15 and extension or 2 separate remote starts it won't remote start again until you physically start the truck.
Imagine a world where your truck is not parked in a garage but instead say the parking lot at work and you have something valuable in it and the lights turn on because of scheduled departure time drawing attention to it wouldn't you want the doors locked?
Or you forgot to lock it and it's dang...
Both you and @hturnerfamily are confused about the GFCI.
He is operating equipment, not connecting two separately derived systems together. The OP should never remove the ground wire from equipment being operated, that is there for the safety of the people operating it. If the GFCI is...
Yes I agree. Anyone who purchased after October 28 2024 should have a legit complaint that what was sold to them is not what they got.
The work arounds are simple enough that I don't find it worth escalating farther (it would be to lawyer level, having called BEV team multiple times and spoken...
You are missing the patience from understanding what Soon™ really means...
It means when @Ford Motor Company gets to it and not before...
Sigh...
No idea what is taking so long. At least most of my driving is local but if it were not I would be asking more often.
100% should have orange line crossing 2.0 mi/kWh at 262 miles for the ER (2 x 131). It looks like it crosses at 210 which would be closer to 80%. Rather than ASSume I asked.
50° is not cold. 32° is when you say it's freezing. 0° is cold and -10° is ____ing cold. Glad it only gets that cold about 1 day a year for me
You can hear it upto about 30mph, 40 if you listen close if listening to podcast or between songs.
You can adjust the steering wheel temp with forscan. Your dealer should be able to as well they just might need a little nudge to get them looking in the right place
You must not have heard the fans go to high speed to warm up the refrigerant when it's below 30. It's definitely more noise and a slight vibration from the fans running flat out.
For those of us who purchased trucks long after the recall and were blissfully unaware of such a recall...many of the newer threads on modes not staying thru a power cycle include words such as "I think" and "I've heard"... Nothing as clear as @bmwhitetx post so my bad for calling it speculation.
The drive mode defaults back to normal no matter what on a power cycle. No great reason, just the way it is. It has been speculated the it has to do with EPA and MPG testing.
No idea on your second question.
You could take modules and build a 32Kwh pack and then run the EverDrive charge while driving.
You would not be easily able to tie the battery direct to the DC bus because of the above mentioned voltage difference.
