Ingineer said:I suspect this is due to Turtle being triggered by a voltage threshold, not SoC. Under higher loads the voltage sags lower sooner. So this means if you are trying to make it somewhere and you are low, drive very gently!TonyWilliams said:Turtle has a variable threshold depending on load. If you're going down the freeway at freeway speeds, it will be higher than 6 (maybe 7-8).
If you're driving 12mph, like I've done, you can turtle as low as 4.

Exactly. Hit the target VmaxD speed of about 12mph on level ground, all auxiliary power consumption off (you're going to lose the heater in a few minutes anyway), constant power to creep over the hills (allowing speed to bleed off) and regen down the other side.
