I was stopped early on one evening, at dusk, while traveling through my town, and through about 7 signals along the way, not having to come to a complete stop at any of them.... the State Trooper came up to my window and said 'son, do you realize your brake lights don't work?'....
after a...
when I was the Mayor of our small home town for a while, and we have our own electrical system, and bill our residents directly from City Hall, I had many instances where residents would come busting in the door, demanding that we had overcharged them, and must have a special 'button' to do...
I've seen maybe one single EA Location that has a similar layout to a Tesla Supercharger location... with 10-12 units...
but, most of the time I've ever stopped there, at least 2-5 of the units were not working properly...
my beef with EA, though, is mostly due to the layout, and location...
btw, any initial mi/kwh data you see, in any short-range travel, is not to be banked on... as it is subject to too many variables in such a short timeframe of travel...
a continue 200 mile trip, without stopping, would be a better, more accurate, gauge...
it's possible that any 'mode' might seem to initially indicate 'better' range, but, over the long range, it really will not matter - Drive Modes are more about the comfort of the driver, and their driving 'style'...
For the first 50,000 miles, I preferred SPORT mode, with it's higher REGEN...
mine has done this, infrequently, as well...
it seems to have a mind of it's own...
I also wish the HIGH BEAMS would reactivate MUCH QUICKER after a vehicle has passed... I don't like the 'slow increase' in the High Beams... just turn them on.
I also noticed that the HIGH BEAMS don't...
I think some of these variations are due to both the TRIM level of the truck, and, in my case, the fact that my PRO SR did not originally come with any AdaptiveCruise/LaneCentering, I added it myself later... so, therefore, my truck's steering wheel layout has NO buttons for either of these...
I also received the BCM-24.5.1 'frunk' update several days ago. Now I actually CAN NOT close the Frunk with the exterior button, whether the truck is locked, or not... and also CAN NOT open it, from the exterior button, either way...
One other phenomenon: My Ford Pass App will allow me to...
maybe I'm missing something within your 'edgy' thoughts,
but I believe you can easily disable 'Lane Keeping' assist and alerts within
the Driver Assistance SETTINGS.
some of us are using the term 'Lane KEEPING', when we may actually be referring to the self-steering 'Lane CENTERING' function, which are obviously DIFFERENT technologies, although both have to do with 'keeping' the vehicle within the stripes:
Lane KEEPING is simply an Alert, or a 'bump' of the...
LEFT is the BATTERY PACK, Right is the MOTORS temperature. As long as either are within the 'range', you're fine. Your Motor temp is showing slightly above 'average', which is not uncommon, and still well within range.
OUTSIDE temperature puts demands on the BATTERY COOLING or HEATING...
I've noticed several of my own settings have changed since the 'frunk' update:
- the Frunk will now NOT open with the front button
- the 'auto locks' suddenly are back in play, when these are only FORSCAN settings
- the 'brake coach' nonsense is back
- Drive modes, Adaptive Cruise, and other...
amen.... and I even remember when our small town's exchange made us have to dial
SEVEN WHOLE NUMBERS to get the city next door....
excruciating ! :
when they FINALLY made an 'agreement' between the two, we only had to dial
FIVE numbers!!! Woop Woop!!!!!! Oh my. : )
while it's nice to think that the guessometer is somehow now 'giving' you more miles... it's, well, just a guessometer ...
no, you'll never get more 'miles' than you got yesterday, last year, or three years ago - but what the guessometer 'says' is something different... it's just trying to...
agreed, and while I never had any issue with the 'stow away' automation of the Shifter, I am reluctant to think that it might not be a problem in the future... it is mechanical.
as to having the Rotary Dial simply to 'free up' the center space to allow for a fold-out desk, you still have the...
set expectations for everyone riding with you, and even for yourself, that managing a very, very long trip like this, over many days and nights, is going to be an exercise in using DC Fast Charger locations, and maybe even overnight hotel Level2 chargers, as your 'destinations' along the way...
- one thing I've noticed with my Rotary Dial: I don't even turn it back to 'P', with either Auto Hold, or my foot on the brake, I just open the door, if I leave the truck ON. Or, just turn the truck OFF.
The dial is totally electronic, so you're not really 'required' to TURN it back to 'P' to...
