And for the record, the “dad” in the commercial is clearly an actor and doesn’t own that ‘65. No one who actually owns a ‘65 closes the hood with two hands! One hand lowers the hood and the other hand pulls the safety latch lever under the grill.
Maybe it’s Fords way of making people use lane control. By eliminating the advantages of having it off, you’ll keep it on. Like the enemy of my enemy is my friend sort of way. Or turn right to go left.
Sort of. My Autel is set at 50amp, but only puts 9.5 kw to the car because I’m operating at 46 amps x 208v = 9,568W. I can’t remember why I figured the 50amp would only put out 46amp. I’ll ask my maintenance manager.
Not sure how you made out with this (and I don’t feel like reading the whole thread), but I installed 2 Autel units at my work and I charge at 46amps everyday. For you electrical guys, it’s 46amp because I’m plugged into 208V power, not 240. Here is my charging curve from this morning.
I guess that would be close. 46amp, single phase 208V is around 9.6kW. The vehicle had already hit my 90% SOC 2 hours earlier, but I can see some loss between the EVSE output and the car too.
What is interesting to me is the Amp draw on remote start. My GTPE will pull 46amps while plugged in when I hit remote start. I don’t know many space heaters that pull that many amps if all I’m trying to do is warm a few square foot space.
Just to clarify one point you mentioned. “Pre conditioned battery to 100%” I assume means you set your departure time and had your Mach E plugged in the whole time? Was this the case when you started your return? Because if not, on your return the car needed to rewarm the batteries using...
Murse, just got my confirmation shipping email from FairwayFord that this just shipped. Just in time for this winter. Really surprised they kept this order (back order) open for 10 months! I completely forgot about it.
I just posted this in another active thread on charging. So I might as well share it here at well.
“I drive 70-80 miles Mon-Thurs. I plug in (charge) everyday at work for free to 90% Mon-Wed and 100% on Thursdays. I have a ChargePoint Flex at home if I need it over the weekend. In the winter...
I drive 70-80 miles Mon-Thurs. I plug in (charge) everyday at work for free to 90% Mon-Wed and 100% on Thursdays. I have a ChargePoint Flex at home if I need it over the weekend. In the winter, my GTPE will not get 2 round trips to work without charging because my range drops to 140-145 @ 90...
T hi is is a BIG no-no. Gluing as you pull (as tempting as it is) creates the potential for the PVC glue to eat away at the wires insulation. If your install required a permit (which I assume it did not), the electrical inspector would have required a pre-backfill inspection to verify the depth...
For sure!
Remember the poor lady who was convinced she had BC with auto lane change before it was released? Took the video of her car on the highway changing lanes on its own. That was scary. Lol!
Doesn’t need to. Going dark for 48 hours on his thread is a tell tale sign.
“Last we heard” was Tuesday at 3:12pm. So my speculation is probably correct.
OP drove for 2 miles, all the alerts went away, so let’s let the thread go on for another 10 pages. Lol!
Actually, I can try to hijack it because someone stole 1/3 of my battery pack last night while I was sleeping because this morning my range has plummeted!
I’m sure many people bought them, grabbed the federal tax credit ($7,500) and then sold them for the same or more money during the crazy new/used car debacle. Now those cars with very low miles are being unloaded again because interest rates are making everyone strongly considering their...
