Care to chime in on the PowerShot issue?

I have not yet been able to activate it. All I have is an error message saying "PowerShot unavailable. Battery level too low."

The car was at 90% battery level.

Can you clarify what are the exact parameters needed to activate this feature.
i also had te same issue ,

Screenshot your battery temperature when you try.
 
I’ve used it a few times on mine. Just hit the button, car makes all kind of fratzonic noises, and gives 30 seconds to activate with the throttle pedal.
It appears the R/T is less strict about when it will work - I've used it plenty. Probably a result of having the same battery between the models. Power Shot on our R/Ts is basically normal operation on the Scat Packs, whereas Power Shot on the Scat Packs is probably near the limit of the battery.

Please, please, please, get someone that designed this system to tell us, the owners of these cars the following
  1. What does that message actually mean, as in what is not at the required level. (HV Battery, 12V battery, Voltage, Temp...)
  2. What is the required reading (what charge%, what voltage)
We don't need things reviewed, we need answers. Information missing from the manual type stuff.

After looking into this more. Here is what we found: PowerShot should work as designed if the battery is above a 20% state of charge, and if battery temp is between 41F and 113F. Operating your vehicle at max power in Drag mode is the only time PowerShot becomes unavailable.

Awesome, thank you! But, (everything before "but" is B.S.) personally I've seen it not work until the main EV battery is showing more like 48°F. That 20% SOC is good to know as well.
Is this info valid for R/T and Scat Pack? (other than the Drag Mode part)
Please get us as much information like this as possible, and links to official documents and/or Owners Manual updates.

SO my outstanding issues (some are opinion, yes, others aren't)
https://www.daytonaowners.com/posts/2298/ - original list
https://www.daytonaowners.com/posts/2467/ - uConnect bugs
https://www.daytonaowners.com/posts/2479/ - We were under the impression a Level 1 "Granny Charger" was included
https://www.daytonaowners.com/posts/2488/ - Screenshots add personalized info such as VIN and exact GPS coordinates which should be a toggle option
https://www.daytonaowners.com/posts/2703/ - Permission prompt for USB, both annoying after 1st time, and kinda small
@Administrator if this can be its own thread, or a sticky, let me know how I can help.

Can confirm that PowerShot engaged today at 99% battery charge and internal temps of battery and motors between 40F and 70F.

Next step would be to actually have a warning message that does not say "Battery level too low" when any of these criterias are not met. @DodgeCares

The interior hatch button that sets height and closes hatch is seemingly stuck. I’m going to have my dealership check it this week. Doesn’t seem right and isn’t working correctly. I’ve had to manually close the hatch multiple times. More to come on this.

Agreed, it should be fairly trivial on the code side to have different messages for "Battery SOC Too Low" and "Battery Temperature Too Low"
