Ford app v6.0.0/6.1.0 FKA Ford Pass, IOS & Android

[TaxmanHog]

One bug I have noticed is that you need to view the Vehicle home tab, first to refresh the active session data on the Energy tab, previous v5.x.x this data would refresh every few seconds/minutes

I am very disappointed. In order to see the kwh charged you have to close the app and reopen it. The scheduling worked at first but now it completely ignored it and did not charge my truck last night. I wake up early to take a small trip only to find my truck never got charged last night so I have to take my ICE. I am on Time Of Use Electric service and I depend on it charging during taht time. I just went through this a few rev's ago having to re-enter my schedule because of that change. Why do these programmers rewrite what took years to work out the bugs to make it a little tiny bit faster only to screw up all the things that got worked out in the past. They fix it then break it again and again.

I've resorted to only adjusting the charging schemes via SYNC in the truck, it's the most reliable method, using FP to adjust the schedule is hit or miss lately.

I guess all these features that are missing since the refresh will be added back and that will be our big reveal…..break something then fix it and claim their victory.

Show us the data screen you're drawing such a conclusion!!!!

There is a couple of metrics on the active and final charging screen in FP that are grossly off, ie. the number of miles added is often way out of spec, if that' is how you are determining the improvement, don't trust it.

It ain't anything special, it's the fact that precooling the cabin actually works off AC now and how I drive to work
Apparently the initial startup uses 2.9 kw for whatever the truck runs, presumably most of that is climate control. Especially since it was still 2.1 on the way back home.

An easy way to do that in the app would be to simply highlight the corresponding padlock icon on the main screen of the app. I.e. highlight the locked padlock icon if the truck is locked.

App would have to query the truck periodically do do it. User could change the lock status manually in the truck which would get the app out of sync. This is why the status is not shown unless an explicit action is taken in the app.

Good point. Or, you could have the user pull down to refresh to see the status. Then remove the status after 30 seconds until the user either locks/unlocks or refreshes again.

I seen it on my charging screen last night, didn't capture the screen shot though, but I will tonight after a make a run to Logan airport this afternoon.

Bryce's post shows the est'd completion time, not sure if he was charging to 100% {FULL}, mine was to 90% set point

Ok I was wondering if the "Charging until..." Was telling me time until complete. I set my to 80% or 90% depending on mood, so it's not necessarily time to full, but to what ever one sets their charge limit.

Right, the time is to reaching your set SOC, in my case it's 90% and it's been pretty accurate in the past +/- 5 minutes for these lower values, but if going to 100% that time frame can vary quite a bit based on the amount of top-balancing needed on the pack.

This is the current end of week session going on now, shot taken 8:17 EDT:

Update post to include end of session record, ended 4 minutes past predicted end time.

Literally unusable!

Does anyone know how to save adjustments to cabin temp after you turn on climate via the app?

Might be user error but I just realized that it doesn’t seem to be saving any real-time changes I make to cabin temp. Heated seats/defroster will enable/disable, but temp doesn’t change when I click out of the mini climate pop-up.

Maybe the vehicle is actually set to that temp but the app isn’t updating?

I hadn't noticed this, I've been leaving my temp set to 72°, same as in the truck on the Sync screen, I'll tinker with it this afternoons lunch run.

Maybe a rendering issue on your phone?

Mine looks normal:

Why does my Kia not have an issue with showing status? How did all my Teslas show me status in the app too?

Every car with an app I’ve used has been able to show me if my car is locked, running, etc. why not ford?

I reset the temp on my 2022 LER last week as I was enroute to the airport - changed from 74dF to 72dF and found the truck set at that temperature on arrival.
