Power Almost Cut In Half with 80% Battery

[vic7780]

Just hopped into my Lightning this morning after letting it charge at home (LVL II, full power - 80amps - 2022 Lariat).

As soon as I started it up, I saw the power to the motors (I think that’s the gauge on the upper left of the left side of the gauges) drop from 100, to 95, to 80, to 56.
Any idea what that might be or what might have caused that?

Did it remain after a reboot? I’ve had this once, 56% seems to be the number shown if the computer decides the front motor is unavailable for some reason. On/off cycle on the truck fixed mine. This seemed to be software update related in my case if i recall properly.

It could happen randomly, its happened to me before. Turn the truck off, lock and wait for 3 mins. It should go back to normal. Someone posted here a while ago they found a relation between airtags and the 56%. I dont recall the reasoning. Others say it can occur after downloading an update. Not sure of the rhyme or reason. As long as you didnt get the wrench after power cycle, your fine.

64% is the random “one off” reduction I’ve see. I’ve had it happen 3 times in 2 years. On/off fixed it.
