Why is my range growing? Will my battery explode?

[AllenXS]

They’re emulating the ice mustang, apparently they are real too.

with that you need the premium rather than regular electricity, like gas.
as someone noted it has special additives to help bond the battery together.

it won’t explode if you use the special Texas T electricity generated from oil burning generators.

it’s on page 666 of the 6th edition of the manual due it next year

At least your range is going up. I had my plug upside down and all the electrons drained onto the floor. Now my range is zero! WTF!

I don't know who or how it's going to get cleaned up. ?

I think they have battery vacuums for this.

Be careful, mine exploded a week ago

I'll raise ya!

And after 50% discharge on the same charge.

The range has improved dramatically with the warmer weather.

I had the same issue and concern. Took it in for an oil change with synthetic castrol oil. It knocked the range back down to under 250. Was a bargain because the dealership sold me lifetime oil changes for a paltry sum of $449 when I bought the MME. What a deal!

Mine threw in a serpentine belt change

Or use different electricity?

I'm pretty sure thats the answer, you were probably charging with regular electricity and changed to premium

Premium electricity makes the motor more efficient and hence the extra miles.

It sure is expensive do, and you need the special wire kit

Runaway reaction in the Fusion Chamber. Best evacuate the whole neighborhood before it goes critical and blows. Sounds like someone put too much dark matter in the electron tank.

I feel like this thread needs this closed captioning:

But of course, this is Moore's law. Electrons can be packed twice as close every two years. That multiple of two years must have just happened.

It's nice to see some "jocularity" here!

First time poster here. This winter when I got my Mach-E, I was getting around 190 miles with a 100% charge (see picture). Now, I'm getting over 270 and growing (see picture)! I'm afraid by summer I'll be close to 300 miles in range! Is the battery swelling in the heat? Should I drive more aggressively to slow the growth? Or use different electricity? I called my dealer and explained my concerns, and they hung up on me. Next I am going to contact @Ford Motor Company and see if they have any ideas. Otherwise, it's back to the dealer it goes.

WINTER (169/.9 = 188) SPRING (244/.9 = 271)

Don’t forget to file a report with the NHTSA!

I only use naturally occurring organic electricity. No preservatives and it’s cage free. Solar generated electricity is processed and has too much radiation. Real easy to obtain with the Lightening Strike app.

Makes total sense, exact except the deisel part? What's deisel?

Looks like we both have typing issues. Something else in common!

You're my evil doppleganger.

If your range continues growing for longer than 4 months, call your doctor or dealership.
