Related, but separate question from my other post: when in pro power mode, can we estimate how frequently the engine turns on, and how long it runs for? This almost surely varies depending upon wattage draw and how full it is to start, so let's standardize and assume the battery is full and try three different draw loads.
If anyone has some curiosity or spare time, it would be cool to run some experiments:
Ideally, I'd like to try and discover the algorithm the truck's computers use to determine it's time to flip on the engine while in generator mode. Something like, "if onboard battery level reaches 1.0kwh (75%), turn on engine, run for three minutes to recharge to 85%"

| Watt draw | Time before engine turns on 1st time | Time engine runs | Time before engine turns on second time |
| 600 | ?? | ?? | ?? |
| 1000 | ?? | ?? | ?? |
| 1800 | ?? | ?? | ?? |
