Just to clarify, as you mention it only shows status of PPOB and does not have the ability to turn that system on or off?
In other words, the only way to activate PPOB is by unlocking the cab doors or when the vehicle is powered on. Is this correct?
For those of you that have the PPOB button on your app, what happens when you press it? Is there another screen or is it just on/off for the whole PPOB system? If the latter, is there an indication showing if the system is on or off?
I've driven across Saddle Road a few times in a Model Y. Very cool route!
Did he climb up Mauna Kea or one of the other volcanoes; thus requiring a cooling stop? Saddle Road from east to west (Hilo to Kona respectively) does gradually rise and then drops as you approach Kona. Interestingly, it...
This is old news. But for what it's worth, someone on FB who is in the EAP indicated that an upcoming update will now include Tesla Superchargers with a configurable filter for whether they have the J3400 adapter or not.
I'm glad this is finally being released. Hopefully there will be improved...
My Lightning's name is "Ellie" after the 3rd Lagrange point (L3). In science fiction, there was this notion that either a counter-planet or an alien invasion force was hiding behind the Sun and out of Earth's view - in L3.
I started to seriously think about getting a Lightning right around the...
This column shifter is a much better option than the Mach E rotary dial some people have been retrofitting. More space in the centre console and hopefully another option for 2 wireless phone charging pads that face onto the driver and front passenger - that are easy to reach.
Unfortunately not at the moment. A big UI and user experience gap with should have been quite obvious.
Hopefully someone can confirm that I did see that having a lock status in FordPass was in the works, but no ETA.

This is Ford's way of telling everyone that "we don't do software".
It's sad because even in Sync 4, all of the critical data is there, it's just not organized well.
No one would care for CarPlay or Android Auto if they experienced native OEM software properly (e.g. Tesla and Rivian), and I...
Cool announcement. I wish these things would focus on the product and the engineering instead. Having a politician on stage regurgitating everything that Farley has already said adds no value.
I've seen one of the extension cable testers post a photo of his test unit on Reddit - charging a Rivian R1S. Things look good so far; we just need a release date.
I can't wait to get one - not backing-in is annoying.
From what I recall, it is the factor of excess heat that will shorten battery life rather than excessive loads (which is a function of heat generation). With a good thermal management system and robust cooling regimes the battery pack will last a very long time.
I recall one study that found...
Yeah and I thought that was useful albeit a temporary workaround solution. If I recall correctly, you could even look up Tesla Superchargers via the "Public Charging" app despite not being able to do so via the navigation screen.
My hope is that this is a one step back, two steps forward...
I don't understand what this change implies.
We should just be able to search or navigate chargers in the navigation screen just like Tesla. This kind of necessary copying shouldn't be difficult.
I wanted to confirm, is the stated rating of 100lbs the total static or dynamic load rating of the rack when cross bars are used?
If so, I think this may eliminate roof top tents as a use case.
I noticed that PAAK isn't as responsive in the past 2-weeks or so - something must have changed on the OS side (Android) as I've been on Ford Pass V5.16 for nearly a month; PAAK had been working extremely well for me - probably 100% call success rate whenever I touch the door handles.
As for...
My moonroof leaked a few months ago after a heavy snowstorm and a large accumulation of snow on the roof of the cab / moonroof. After clearing the moonroof of snow and driving away, water leaked through the front-passenger ceiling speaker.
My Advisor indicated that rather than being due to a...
