GTPE extra torque

[AliRafiee]

Has anyone figured out how to unlock the extra torque on a GT?
It has to be software.

Put your right foot to the floor, until all the torque is unlocked!

So, hardware, then?

You’re talking about the extra 34 lb ft?

It’s software, but no, no one has unlocked it.

If they do, I’m more interested in unlocking the 5 second limit as well as the full 562 hp these motors are capable of (the front and rear are 281 hp each but are limited by software).

Yes, please. The 5 sec really sucks.
At a minimum, they should add a drag race mode that opens it up for 1 launch at a time.

If every GT owner submitted a voice memo (with the new update) that says they want the 5 second limiter gone, maybe then they'll do som..... nevermind, they'd just continue to ignore it

No need to, hasn't showed up in any drag slips.

The 5 second limit won’t be removed on this generation of MME. It’s a hardware limit due to a combination of undersized electrical hardware and lack of sufficient temperature sensing.

It shows up in the 0-60 (which is the only place it would).

GTPE averages .1 to .2 faster (but not the .3 advertised except with perfect traction at the drag strip).

Only place I’ve seen someone post a 3.5 or better 0-60 is at a super sticky drag strip. It’s definitely traction dependent.

But yeah, all the fastest 0-60 dragy times are from GTPE.

"It's just software"

Yeah, it's just software designed to keep you from bricking the car (or worse). It's also relatively secure software that no one has managed to hack (or acknowledge they have). And the risks of hacking it are severe enough that I don't see a lot of interest from tuners wanting to spend that type of effort to get a small performance increase that may destroy the car.

There is no such thing as “extra torque.” All torque is “necessary.”

Small?

If we got unlimited access to 562hp……… the difference wouldn’t be small.

Yes. Like ANY aftermarket mod, you risk damaging the car.

Yet that doesn’t stop people from bolting on super chargers to get to 750hp on an otherwise stock ICE Mustang GT.

Not sure why people think the Mach E is somehow on the razors edge of breaking due to too much power.

Number of Mach E GTs that have broken as a result of too much power (to my knowledge- ZERO).

Now if you completely unlocked it, then tried to run Nuremberg……… I’m pretty sure we could raise that number to at least 1!

But I wouldn’t want a complete unlock anyways. Give me 562hp for 10 seconds at a time and I’ll write a check right now!

 

[Awmustang]

The motors may be able to make a combined 562hp, but the batteries and electrical components are not capable of providing the power needed for them to do so.
Sure it's a software limitation but for good reason. I pity the poor soul who actually succeeds in removing this limitation.

This is the point of the software limitation. It's supposed to be conservative enough not to break it. You want to know what happens when they get it wrong? You get a fiasco like the HVBJB.

I think we should be complaining about a guy’s GT-PE having been delivered to the wrong dealer then it was damaged in transport to the correct dealer. Oh, wait…

How’s that grille holding up Dave?
