Does the HVJBJ fix slow it down?

[Stillen]

I originally got the SVS message in August. I took the car to the dealer, did the recall, went away. Two weeks later came back on, went to service “redid” the recall, and guess what 2 weeks later it came back.
Got Ford Corp involved and had the car services somewhere else and they replaced the HVJBJ.
In the time my car was waiting for replacement, a ton of OTA updates happened as well as the fix. I’ve had my car for about a week, and it feels slower. I’m not sure if it’s all in my head, one of the other updates or a safety measure they add when they do the junction box. The power band feels more timid. I’m not sure if it’s legit, or just I remember the car faster 3 months ago before all the issues.

TLDR: My Mach E feels nerfed since I got the Replacement HVJBJ.

Feels just as fast to me, and extra beefy and robust as well!

I have empirical data on Dragy that says “no” - it definitely isn’t any different.
Sadly it still gelds itself after 5 seconds though ??

For my old 4x, the HVBJB stopgap "fix" objectively did not affect 0-60 times. Don't know if it affected performance in any other way, but it didn't feel like it.

I don’t know if I’d say it’s slower, but it feels slower, the the power band is less aggressive. Was there an OTA that leveled out that within the last quarter?

Is it maybe the outside temp affecting how much power you can pull from the battery? I feel a tiny bit slower in colder weather, and I just associated it with how the battery chemistry works.

Nope. Mine got faster... because now I can actually use the accelerator without fear of somehting going POP or leaving me stranded. ?

I’m still driving like I have an egg between the go pedal and my foot. ??

Heh, not in a position to blow up the HVBJB right now. I’m going to wait until late spring. ??

That makes sense, last time I had full power was in August and it was close to 100, now it’s in the 40s

Me too, but even so, all the other cars at the stop light fall quickly behind. It's a very different viewpoint than I had in my Prius?
