“Boat Ramp Mode”… slow creep that can be enabled in reverse when towing a trailer. It just feels wrong hitting the accelerator when backing a 7000 lb truck with a trailer down a ramp into the water. Make it so my foot can be on the brake instead.
Rear screen Air conditioner controls that...
Same here. Dual Motor 24 R1T (gen 1)… also lost high regen. I upgraded last night.
I’ll open a service ticket. That’s probably the only way undocumented features (bugs) would get noticed.
They already have the platform to compete with the sprinter… like a slightly scaled back EDV with maybe a larger battery. They just need to sell a variant outside of their fleet sales.
The button on the left would be two buttons if it had the PTC. I heard the service centers will start offering them as an upgrade this fall. The wiring harness is already there just unused. It just needs the unit added, a new button and a software update.
I’d like to see a consumer non-fleet version of the EDV. It would make a pretty cool camper van. Maybe even in a partnership with an RV manufacturer.
I am pretty sure we have software locked large packs... I remember reading somewhere that the difference between large and max was battery chemistry.
I have a standard plus as well.
My regular practice when charging it at home is go to 95%, which gets me 300 miles on the guess-o-meter. There...
True - but since it is an EV, the software is really deciding what kind of car it is anyway.
With the right restrictions, you can make it less of a hellcat and more of a Ford Maverick.
Rivian and Tesla have been doing this to us already in normal modes. Think about it... only sport mode unlocks...
I like this idea. Teen Driver mode would be another feature to pair with it...
Lock it to certain keys.
Max Volume limit on the radio
If a butt is detected in a seat, the seatbelt MUST be worn to operate the car
Max speed of 10% above posted speed limit or alarm / notification occurs...
I have standard + in my Dual motor R1T.
As soon as I realized I have a software locked max pack, I started charging to 95% regularly. That’s a 296 mile charge.
Might as well.
The battery is already running at only 85% of its potential through software controls.
I have a dual motor R1T with Standard +...
Doing almost all interstate driving around 70MPH, I was able to squeak about 290 miles out of it before my range anxiety kicked in and I found a DCFC. I was averaging 2.5mi/kw if I remember correctly. I was around 6% SOC when I chickened out. Maybe I...
Even though they are expensive (and an EVGO plan does nothing to help you here), the Pilot / Flying J centers run by EVGO that are opening up around the country are pretty nice and would be a good alternative - with about the same price as a Tesla Supercharger. They are all 24/7 travel centers...
