Avoiding releases is a bad idea for the reason DevSecOps cites, also because some releases apply critical updates. Your MME may just stop operating to install critical updates, which could strand you.
Perhaps you could contribute here. I seldom use 1PD mode because it feels like I'm accelerating with drag the last 10-20 yards to a stop just to regen. My brother is a retired journeyman electrician who knows motors quite well. He explained that if electricity is not supplied to a motor, the motor will by its nature produce electricity until it stops spinning - up to 90% of the power it would otherwise consume. I'm comfortable with my MME motor generating electrical power w/o 1PD mode, even if it does not generate 100% of its capability.
I believe people chose 1PD as a style of driving and many prefer it over 1PD. I think most, if not all, realize all braking except very hard is regenerative. My observation was more of something for a person to think about - sometimes people bring up safety issues and complain (rightfully!) but fail to take steps to be safe when there are things they can do about it.
1-p mode, OR medium pressure on brake pedal, can generate up to about 100kW of regen energy. If you press harder on the brake indicating you want more braking, or are going too slowly for regen, the MME blends in mechanical braking.
Good afternoon, Jay! I would be glad to help you out with these drive mode not available concerns if you'd like. Just shoot us a PM with your VIN and dealer name/location, and I'll get right on it. Thank you!
It doesn’t work that way. You can’t create energy, only convert it. If your not slowing down (or creating heat) you’re motor isn’t generating measurable power back to the battery.
Agreed, technically the inertia of a 5,000 lb. vehicle is being converted to other forms of energy. Some is converted to electricity, some to heat...
Well, since you asked......As, I age (mid 50's) I find myself more "Purple". Not sure why politics has become so divisive. Tip O'neil and President Reagan, could routinely sit down together and hammer out compromises. These guys seem like they're more interested in money and power than representing their constituents. We (the American Public) need a 3rd Party in this country that represents the "true majority" of the country.........and I will leave it at that so as not to get kicked out of another thread; as was the case previously.
You’re fucking useless, and chiming in at the worst possible time and not even remotely able to address the issue at hand. Honestly, just shut up.
There's no need to be so rude. The EV team does what they can to capture issues, elevate them, and help motivate the local dealership to ensure it's addressed. I'd rather see consistent engagement when customers have issues, even if they may not be able to fully solve the issue, than not offer any help at all.
No they don’t. Their “help” isn’t help. It’s a canned response that serves little to no benefit, and tosses it off to the dealer where they will just shrug their shoulders. They didn’t even acknowledge the primary problem of the thread. The rudeness is deserved.
Sounds wrong to me. 1PD seems like the people who can’t ride a bike a chew gum at the same time. Just joking of course! For myself I just don’t like the deceleration feeling, even in unbridled, 2PD, but am also quite sure I would screw up switching between vehicles. I stay out of politics as too many people can’t discuss things maturely (not implying you) these days so things seem to get heated up versus a healthy debate!
Everyone that I know that has a MME has this issue, at least intermittently. And I assume the "influencers" don't want to get on Ford's PR bad side...
