Alister:
I apologize for being a little bit snarky above.
I believe you are conflating actual range results with estimated future range. Based on your original post, the description implies that when you use the word āgettingā, you are speaking of the number, indicated as ārangeā on your...
In addition to operating temperature, there are other factors that will affect real range as well as estimated future range. Speed, terrain, wind, tyre pressure, interior accessory use, etc. If you have considered all of these without satisfaction, it may be comforting to know that YOU ARE NOT...
Mike makes a good point here. Most likely your battery is fine, and the temps are cold and you are not preconditioning while plugged in before you begin a short trip of 53 miles in cold temps. Your car is using significant on-board energy to warm the HV battery, which directly affects the range...
I just learned something new.
Who woulda thought it uses cellular?
That explains something. I have great wifi in my garage but marginal ATT at our locations.
Updates havenāt been as quick as I would have thought.
Thank you.
Just thought I would add 2cents.
My car is ā21 prem RWD with no mods.
I got my alignment done at an independent shop right after I put new tires on. I only use alignment shops that will allow me to collaborate in real time. I used Concord Auto Service. They were willing to work on it (first...
It doesnāt seem to me 100 miles is a shipping job. Itās a flatbed tow job. If it was me, Iād rent a trailer and load it up and drive it there myself. That way Iād know it was done right.
You are obviously frustrated, and having to handle logistics yourself doesnāt help at all, but I think you...
Absolutely!
My road trips are usually right around 1000 miles in 15 hours each day. I just donāt have any desire to sit around anywhere when I have somewhere else I want to be. EVās are fine under 300 miles with free charging at either end of the trip.
When I configured our alarm system and had it installed years ago, I had hard wired smoke detectors installed in the living space, and heat detectors installed in the attic and garage. The one in the garage is mounted on the ceiling directly over the hood of the car (predates EVās). The heat...
I recommend this often to my recent adopter friends! I find I get more range out of EVGO fill-ups than either Supercharger or Electrify America fill-ups, and ChargePoint seems to have too many negative ions in their electricity. Alway stick with the top-tier providers. Your flux capacitors will...
(1) You did not āhaveā a range of 160 when you left on your little frigid trip. The GOM was only indicating that you might experience a range of 160 miles based on your recent habits and at 25F or whatever the temp in your garage was, but then you messed up its estimate by
(2) taking a very...
My car doesnāt have this problem. And I understand wanting Ford to make it right. But if it did have this problem, Iād be tempted to disassemble, brush, treat, paint, reassemble myself. I would spend less time than driving to the Ford dealership and back. And a whole lot less aggravating.
The thumb has been on the scale for years. It is time to remove the thumb, and let the market determine pricing and demand without tax credit market manipulation.
