hey all, need someone with a little spare time to try something. as strange as this may be, I can reproduce this behavior at will on my 21 PacHy (like dozens of times in past 45 days), and I suspect it only started after my tailgate software flash for the timeout issue.
My PacHy does not shut off anymore while in run mode after 45min/1hr of idle. it literally will stay on for hours, and I have sat at a chargepoint L2 charger at work running climate, uconnect movie, phone charging etc in 35deg F - 50deg F (so no engine cycling) for 5.5hrs once cause I feel asleep. I can consistently do this for 3hrs stretches every time.
Now don't ask me why/how I know this behavior, but I believe it might be tied somehow to not opening any of the vehicle doors after placing it run. I'm curious if anyone can duplicate this, cause I will definitely exploit it for exactly the reason in this thread. I am confident I can sleep in it with climate on, all electric overnight, etc when plugged in at camp ground, or EV highway stop - going 5.5hrs to 8+ is almost guaranteed for mine. it is very likely a corner case or some bug/glitch, but I couldn't do this in my 2018 PacHy from what I recall, and can't test that theory firsthand. If any 21 or 22 owner can check, and also 1717-20. Would like to see numbers
p.s. don't tell Chrysler
