For you all that reported dead battery in Feb that is "fine ever since", you are on borrowed time. Another cold snap and you might find yourself in a pickle. Just a heads up. Might make it to next winter, then again it might not.

Curious, Have you had the software patch installed to eliminate / minimize the dead 12v batteries due to power drains when not car not on? Had mine done just a month or so ago. Dealer replaced battery with no charge at the same time.

It's fixed. Try again.

Yep. Same situation. They are working on it. I have a case number. LOTS of people are affected.

Service updates done. Dealer put in a new battery (it was toast). Life is good :)

Lol. I shoulda waited and just posted ditto :lol:

All depends on how you've been driving and what assessories you have turned on (especially heat). Generally, yes mpe is better in the summer.

That sounds like the darn modem isn't even communicating. Duh - That's what you've been saying. I wasn't "listening" very well. Sure does sound like yet another trip to the dealer :cry:

Did you try deleting ALL your accounts? and then setting them back up again? I did that as well as a fresh reset on the car. I also had to reacknowledge the "take control" of the car at the FFE itself. Fixed all my issues. Like I said before, I lost my history by who really cares lol. P.S...

Same dealer I bought my buyback orphan from. Same experience too with customer service. Nice folks. FYI.. I think they move a lot of the CA FFE buybacks. They had two when I got mine.

My bet would be it's charging points are based on pack voltage so software may not care BUT is the pack even the same voltage? IDK?

We haven't had the car long, and it's rare when it isn't used every day. It just so happened that I had to get a load of poulty feed one day (drove the truck), got the daughter's car lined up the second day, and snow hit on day 3 (very rare event here) so i drove the AWD vehicle. Wasn't cold...

Thanks for the info on the software update. Truly appreciated. I'll get it taken care of. I thought about the dealer, but I couldn't stand hearing that relay so I had to do what I could to shut the car up. Interesting, today when I left church for the grocery store the car notified me of the...

Finally got cold here and it snowed. The FFE has been parked for the past 3 days. Was in garage working on the AWD winter beater and got a text message from the Focus. 12v battery low. Plug in now. I finished what I was doing (about 20 minutes). Opened the doors to the FFE and all heck broke...

Nice option you incorporated in there. My GE Level 2 can be amped up or down via some jumpers, but it's hard wired into the house so I set it up for maximum current draw. Only time it would matter is if my grid goes down and I'm running on the genney (like you described). My portable level 1 /...

How did you "back off a bit" on the charge rate? Is that an option on your level 2 charger?

The peso has lost 17% in value this year and is most assuredly going to continue to fall because the Mexican economy was falsely inflated by the 100+ billion dollars moving in from "undocumented workers" here in the US. With this coming to a halt, why the heck would Ford build a plant that who...

Thanks for the reply. Did some looking into it myself as well. Looks like these packs are built using 444 Panasonic 18650 cells? Looking at those specs I got about 173 amps at 1C with respectable performance at 2C. That's in the range of your numbers, so that answers that question. Next...

You have my interest in these as I'd like to look at adding them to my barn setup. Have you got any idea what the recommended maximum amp draw is on these cells?

Not dissing on your project. I have that exact inverter in my barn powering my incubators. Use it as a UPS on a 240v home line. It's a great inverter and that's a good price. So, here are some observations / watchouts .... Charging the Tesla Battery will be very easy. Simply use the Magnum to...
