Related but different situation: I have a 36 volt golf cart. Three 12 volt batteries in series. With a 12 volt battery charger, I can charge each battery independently while still wired to the vehicle. As we were taught in school, current only flows between the two attachment points. One...

They (and half of drivers) feel knowing battery % is useless, so why bother. However it is very useful to "hypermile" and squeeze out 800 mile (city) per tank. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Please act your age. (Joking, always have fun. )

Yes! And the reason is: HEV's charge & discharge 10, 20, sometimes 50 times per day! So again I ask, who on earth is using a jump pack 10, 20, sometimes 50 times per day? EV's are minimum 30 times as large so cycle one-thirtieth as often but it's still weekly, or 52 times per year, minimum...

30% is the lower limit for electric only driving. The engine will come on at 29.99% every time. But it is difficult to run off battery alone below 35%. On a cold morning I've seen as low as 26%. While driving, never lower than 30%. It "likes" to remain between 40% and 60%. So for most drivers...

That's pretty neat. Towing an antique truck and trailer (legal in SOME states) and losing only 10 MPG. 😎

The stock 12v hybrid battery (when charged of course) has 4 times the capacity of the top of the line "jump pack" and 10 times the capacity of the average jump pack. I'm not saying they don't work, but I've not yet seen a jump pack that didn't grossly overstate their abilities. 4000 amps...

They are "good" for 5,000 cycles. Just how many jump starts do you intend to do???😄 They are TINY in capacity. ALWAYS charge to 100%. Why limit something tiny by an additional 20 or 30 percent?

Wow. You're getting like EV range from an EB. My hybrid: 700 miles per tank routinely with 10% ethanol. (In mild weather.) And ethanol free is more than a dollar extra per tankful. More like $5 or $6 more. But up to you to decide what you like best.

BTW these work great. Why dick around with the single sliding tie down. I have five per side now. I went imperial and used 3/8 and stainless.

no. It's just a YOU thing. And we've been through this before. And you don't speak for everyone in the west. 95% of people in the west where I've lived 50+ years use the term "camper" for both. You are in the 5% who are confused. I guess. Go to literally any website and search for "camper" and...

Parking with a low to empty battery, I find is more important than outside temperature. In short, the truck likes having some "work" to do in the first 2 minutes. With a full battery on a cold (as in ambient) restart it has nothing to do. So it "fidgets". You know "Idle hands.... ....devil's...

This is probably the reason. In combination with your computer that calculates the MPG getting reset during the recall work. Your MPG will come back. Give it time. And some cooler weather will help. I lose as much as 9 MPG in city traffic when my A/c is on compared to when it is off.

I don't hate it. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaay better than a Cybertruck. They will sell more than Elon. Pretty darn capable. 6600 lbs towing. 2000 lbs bed capacity. Zero to 60 in 6 seconds RWD. Zero to 60 in 4 seconds AWD. Easy to park. 4x8 plywood fits with tailgate CLOSED. $41k for 250 mile range $46k...

Carvana is saying the same price as Kelly Blue Book for mine.

2022 FWD Hybrid XLT w/Lux 65,000 miles offer: But how long would it take me to get another?

My HS teacher used to say, even a monkey in the zoo will get it right by pure chance once in a while. 🤷🏻‍♂️

It's only an issue if someone has OCD. Mine does it. For 4 years and 65,000 miles and I have the ability to ignore it. No big thing.

Pull fuse 11 and repeat. Post what happens or doesn't happen.

Probably 2500 miles with the Colman Light. Probably 12,000 miles with my other older trailer of similar size and weight.
