While I am happy with the current state of software and use CarPlay almost exclusively, there are a few low hanging fruit updates I'd love to see before the truck's software is shelved.
Some way to precondition the battery when using CarPlay. Whether they work with Apple to make it automatic...
Don't worry, Ford is still committed to issuing software updates for our trucks even though they cancelled it.....
Literally, the very next feature they release is not available on Lightnings. I'd be shocked if we ever see an OTA again other than for recalls.
I am saying burning carbon for energy is antiquated. We are still a Type 1 civilization on the Kardashev scale, moving up is progress and while a BEV may get its power from burning fossil fuels, it can be powered by clean energy (like the solar panels on my house). There is no alternative for a...
You're asking a lot from the company that after 4 years can't keep remote start on if you open the frunk or having more than a 30 min remote start limit 😂

Legacy automakers are a joke...Not a surprise as Ford and the stealerships want that maintenance money, which EREV will give them. This solidifies the fact that I will not be remotely interested in a Ford for our next car. I am never going back to gas, such an antiquated technology. No thanks.
I have a 24 Lariat and just got the Plug & Charge update....I have been using Plug and Charge for the last year since I bought it. Just plugged in, charged started automatically and billed my BlueOval account. I am assuming that this was some SSL certificate updates for the handshake, but not sure.
Called to schedule this today and was first told that they will only repair it if it is actively leaking. I pressed and then they said they could do it without a leak. They also said that 1 of the 3 parts they need to order are on backorder and not available. So I guess I will check back in...
I think mobile service could do that but not 100% certain. The ford announcement on page 1 here explicitly says to replace the nuts. I’d show them that. It says that in ford pass too. If they refuse, I’d call both ford and NHTSA. I really doubt they’ll refuse to replace the nuts. I think you’ll...
