It sounds like you're hitting the amperage limits of the charger. A charger is actually rated by how many amps it can put out. It can probably hit 100kW on 800v architecture cars, or if your nominal voltage is closer to 400v (the Mach-E seems to sit a fair amount below that through most of its...
Chiming in with another "works great for me" post. I live in the land of very bad road markings and roads, aka Chicago. Had zero problems driving up to Wisconsin and back. Stays engaged all the time, no ping pong. Only disengages when approaching an EZ Pass overhead thing (not sure what it's...
Get the AWD if you're on the fence about power. The range difference between the RWD and AWD is minimal especially on the highway. Source: I have an RWD and I semi-regret prioritizing range over power.
"DC fast charge total time improvements". I know they don't specifically say "new charging curve above 80%", but try saying that to an average person and you'll get a 😕 face.
Is it 655 or 65536? (CarScanner might truncate the number depending on how your display is configured)
65536 is 2^16, aka a 16-bit integer. CarScanner uses 16-bit integers to display amps, and it might default to the largest value if it sees something that's out of range (either too small or...
Is this Fox Ford Lincoln on Elston? If so, they’re really quite crappy. I have all the hardware to do the updates (even though I know this isn’t 100% the point of your post). Let me know if you want me to update your car.
PS: Bredemann Ford in Glennview is much better, I hear.
I think there was a post on this forum with someone losing power on the highway. The failure includes contactors failing in an open condition as well. But either way, I think the Bolt issue is way more serious because lithium fires in a garage are very, very bad. (And this is coming from a...
Well, I'm a little PO'd about that. I'm in EA, and was one of the first who signed up/discovered the ability to sign up, and was even billed at the non-discounted rate for a couple sessions (that I never got refunded for but the charge (ha!) was small, so I didn't pursue it).
I rely exclusively...
I've done some readings on this, but I'm not entirely clear: Is there an update on FDRS for Job 1 IPCs to enable this? (Along with the Forscan changes, of course)
The HS-CAN (highspeed CAN) is only 512kbps. Additionally, flashing with FDRS basically uploads the entire software package to the module. OTA updates a) do delta/differential patching; b) updates the "B" side of the module, then switches operation over to that, then updates the "A" part, while...
I totally get your sentiment, but just like not all Americans are Republican or Democrat, I'm sure lots of the Russian people don't like what's happening either. Of course, it's hard to know which "side" they're on...
Sorry, no more politics...
Sigh, I wonder if this also means we won't be getting any charging curve improvements, if regular DCFC could already stress the HVBJB - even if it's "only" a 0.58% failure rate. On the other hand, why weren't they already monitoring a criticality 1 component's temperature?
How about better DCFC charging curve and a paid performance upgrade ala Polestar 2? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤪🤪🤪
Who am I kidding - I believe they'll be releasing Tetris next. And if we're really lucky, maybe Sudoku.
I guess this is when I'll touch wood and say I'm happy to have the slowest trim (maybe second-lowest current draw, after the SR RWD). I'm really hoping the "software fix" isn't coming down to limiting current, just like how the CPU architecture bugs were "fixed" by making said CPUs slower :(
