Only 2 bars? I had 2 bars at 83% on a 70 F day. This morning at 43 F and 83% I had 4 bars. After a bit of driving the number of bars was reduced, probably due to battery temp. ??

Ford Mustang Mach-E Prison Bars? IMG-20221111-WA0003

I got this at 60F on Skyline Drive. June 2022 build, no codes thrown. After a bit of troubleshooting (aka turning it off and back on again and letting it sit for awhile) to no effect, my kid finally noticed the map.

Turns out this is what happens when your GPS glitches to Syria.

I've also noticed that speed seems to increase the number of bars. If I'm going 75 I'll see 3 or 4 bars, but when I slow down to 65 it drops down to 2. I've given up trying to understand.

Normal, anything over 75, brings out bars, regardless of SOC.

Not hard to understand at all. Ford under designed the cooling systems on the GTs. So they're pulling power as to not overheat the battery. The faster you go, the more heat is generated.

It's been -10f here the last week. I have more power restricted than I have available when I start it to go home at night With a massive 120 mile range at 90%

That's about what I was getting, we're in the same general area.
