lol 500kWH unlocked and keep the fire department on standby.

Correct, for easy math your CT battery is 123kWh in size. If you charge it at 50kw from completely dead to 100% it will take 2.46 hours 123 / 50 = 2.46. If you charge it at 123KW (constant rate without any charge curve) it will take exactly one hour if in 100% health. Of course charge curves...

It was never advertised to charge at an average of 500kW. It was advertised as 500kW peak power. If EVs charged constant current it wouldn't be called a charge CURVE (picture a curve in graph form with tapering current). Never once was a 0%-100% charge in 20 minutes advertised, 500kW charging...

kWh measures energy, for ex. If a charger delivers an average of 123 kW for 1 hour, you add 123 kWh of energy. If you charge for 30 minutes you delivered 61.5kWh. KW measures power, the rate that the energy is delivered. If your wall connector is 11kW, if you charge for two hours it will...

You're fine with thermal runaway? lol

That makes sense, but it doesn't mean the charging curve is bad. It means the curve is optimized for cell health where you personally would like it to be optimized for time only. If you were to charge daily at 500kW when at 90%+ SoC not only are you going to degrade your battery at lightning...

Wh = V x A :)

I agree on the no pull through, it drives me bonkers with a trailer on. I see where you're coming from, we do get 500kW as advertised but only at low SoC. I think they could do a special Tow Mode charging session curve, but then the warranty will need to be adjusted.

Those look awesome. I would love to have one someday

Sure. But if it were actually up to you and you had the choice - 90 minute charges or a pack of cells that struggles to make it past the warranty period, what would you actually choose? or are we just complaining? I will add that if you do long distance towing regularly (opposed to short/medium...

You should be very glad that your truck doesn't charge at 500KW the whole way up haha (if you care at all about cell health), the other OEMs allow for faster charging in effort to have some kind of selling point over tesla, but if you really understand it, their curves are terrible for the...

"Aggressive" is a good word. I would argue that Tesla's curve is more advanced than the aggressive ones because they seem to care more about cell balancing and overall long term health of the pack. Charge curves are easy, if Tesla wanted their cars to charge faster it would've been done years...

What's wrong with the charging curve?

Congrats, welcome home.

I've been working in the EV battery testing space for 10 years and was driving a Ford Lightning/MY. after watching Munro's battery tear down I purchased a CT 5 days later. Incredible engineering. No one is even close.

Just following up on my previous comment.. It seems that severely cold weather was the issue, my indicator light went back to normal after a warmer day.

It will be the best purchase decision you've ever made in your life. Don't sweat resale values because 1. vehicles are not investments and 2. you will not want to sell it. Regarding range & battery quality - 340 miles is pretty real-world in fair weather, maybe 300 in the dark of winter. This...

It drives me bonkers as well! and trust me I've tried all the aforementioned tricks. Yes you can press the three dots and remove location, but only if you catch it JUST in time. What would make me happy is a menu of all of the saved locations and the ability to add/remove from that menu. The...

Your PCS is working as normal and 24 mi/hr is normal at 48A. Your M3 adds more miles per hour due to it being so much more efficient to drive. Your CT will take considerably longer to reach full charge at the same output current rate because there is much more capacity in the CT's pack... bigger...

Okay haha 373 miles is if your wild theory is correct. It makes no sense to have two different chemistries in the same truck, charging and monitoring become a nightmare among other things. And lastly, LFP is not supposed to be charged to 100% every day anyways, it’s still stressful on the cells...
