I drive mine from mailbox to house without seat belt so did they change something?
heater works great and easily adjusts so don’t really understand
mine in winter is in garage so it’s set to not lock when there
in summer outside I have it set to unlock when close and works well
Left truck outside at -35C overnight moved truck inside in the morning
truck battery at least -15c truck would not charge and the charge time ramped up quickly from 1 .5 hrs to blank within about 1 minute it just kept going up until it went blank
1.5 to 2 to 2.5 to 3 to 3.5 and so on over about...
I guess if they ever do give us the option to precondition on the app other than partially with climate control or scheduled trips.
i just find it only preconditions to about 10C and not 20C or 75F
Ok then mine is similar I just thought by tricking it I could heat it up closer to 15C or 70F
and if I could set chargers in the nav then it would do it maybe
mine gets pretty poor mileage at really cold temps like below 1.2 m/kwh or 2km/kwh
The only time it seems to heat the battery is if I am hooked to L2 charging and battery temps are low ie below 5degrees C
some said it would do that if not plugged in but setting climate and it does not seem to do it but I will try again.
if itdiditonly heated to 10 C about 50F
in -40 moved into...
I have two L2 chargers I use closes fastcharger is 70 miles away
i have not tried that but if I could set both spots I thought I could fool the truck into preheating
battery when temps are very cold.
i will check that out
i assume that is the normal app we use for everything else correct?
I agree with this if traveling further however in my case where I travel 15 min to work and then often 15 min home my battery temps are 60 degrees when leaving and 5 degrees when comming home
and my battery capacity is actually more then next morning than when I got home.
i only charge at work...
in extreme cold when the battery is about -15c or colder when you plug it in the battery starts to heat itself up on a gen 1 immediately as I. Have seen this
idonot think it pulls this power from shore power but used the onboard battery to do this
once the main battery is warm enough it starts...
If I understand correctly you are likely charging your main battery too much(the one that goes down and gives distance to empty)
in these cases set you charge level lower and then charge each day.
i use about 10% per day so I rarely charge over 50% on the main battery giving me about 280km or...
If the OP has a 50 amp charger and 4 motor will only take about 2.5 hrs to warm up and charge normally in my experience
if inside about 1.5 hrs
have not tried with the portable charger
Mine follows closely to -C
-10 loses 10%
-20 loses 20%
-30 loses about 30
-40 loses about 40%
especially on short drives when motors are not heating up batteries
when pack is -40 I get less than 1mi/kwh on short trips with battery at -20C. And motors at -28c
Mines been parked outside 5 days a week for 8 hrs a day at -15 to -25C for a month
works fine and battery is consistently at - 10C temps and motors at - 20C temps.
motors sound a bit funny if accelerating hard when below -15C until they warm up now I don’t do that again
Did a test at -30 C for...
