Well it was -37 this morning and the truck started fine however some of the driver aids/electronics were not working. No telescoping wheel/seat, no cameras, no front sensors, no forward warnings, no rear sensors. Seat heaters still worked! The main screen seems to be working ok but a bit delayed as expected. I suspect once the outside temp warms up everything will come back but does give me pause on any type of electric vehicle in these temps. Any of you northerners have any errors/faults on cold mornings?

I also didn't order a block heater, which I wasn't aware was an option thought it was standard, whoops!

So was -37 actual temp and was it with or without the wind chill factor? Ford tests to -40 on a regular basis and I can tell you for sure that the vehicles really do not like -40 and -20 the vehicles are still not super happy. I have seen everything from active air dam/AGS shutters stuck to simple things like doors not working
 
-37F was air temp without windchill, coldest I've seen here in quite some time. It doesn't surprise me the electronics weren't working properly.
 
I had an issue with my instrument cluster not making any noise. I started it up and no start up chime, no seatbelt chime, no turnsignal ticking. Radio and everything else worked but not the instrument cluster sounds. I'm in central Texas so no where near your temp but it's pretty cold here for what we're used to.We went from a toasty 54 to 28 in a span of a hour.

-12 F (real temp) here in Minnesota this morning, remote start worked this morning (thank baby Jesus) only issue I had was the front parking sensors and forward warning. But that could be caused by all the snow that's currently plastered and frozen on the truck.
