Why is my range growing? Will my battery explode?

[Astro19]

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)

Did you try unplugging it and plugging it back in?

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

If you leave your Mach E in a bowl of rice for a few days, you may be able to save it.

So much irony.

Sounds like your O2 sensor is on the way out.

BTW, today is the 30th, not the 1st.

LOL
Nothing to worry there that’s just the new BLUENUKE update. Your car is now splitting protons and not even bothering that much with electrons anymore.
Ford should’ve sent you that nuclear radiation symbol you’re supposed to put on the front fender
It’s OTA 666.xxx
Jes sayin

I'm very confused. Is this related to that green car?

Is that like a medal or a trophy?

It will likely explode. I recommend you park the car outside and away from other cars until the predicted range stabilizes.

I applaud your integrity of the edit.

You'll have to settle for a trophy. I hear certain medals are in short supply so they're making the batteries mostly out of plastic now.

That's a good thing though because when the batteries explode in your garage, plastic parts with their lower density won't gouge your drywall as much.

There is nothing wrong with the battery they just don't like the cold. I owned a Chevy Bolt for over three years and during winter months the range would drop down considerably from the warmer months. There is nothing wrong with your Mustang.

What??? I have never heard of that before. You are mistaken.

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. ?
