What year is your truck? Anything more to the description?
2023. Charge port locks at high speed charger and wont unlock until truck is unlocked and unlock button pressed. Don't remember what Cold Weather performance does. Will look tomorrow.

So weird I’m on the beta program and I haven’t seen new updates. Mine is a 2023 I’m especially waiting for the Tesla chargers to be added to the nav system @Ford Motor Company any update on this?

Interesting. I wonder if this PCM update also includes BECM and SOBDM updates to endabe PPO while truck is off and enhanced charging options. @bmwhitetx

How is only now that the charge port locks the charging handle?

The PCM controls PPO so hopefully that's all that is needed for PPO with truck off. Need someone who didn't get it to work before to try it now after this update.

As for charging speed on dash, hopefully this also updates the other two modules for that one too.

I'm gonna go on a limb here and say that they mean it locks as in not removable without the key so while you're away someone can't unplug you.
Still. I don't think anyone wants randos being able to disconnect their cable, I'm disappointed it's taken this long to prevent that.

It's amazing at how long it takes them to implement things that should've been there at release. It's almost as if no one with more than a couple brain cells actually used the truck before making it available to the public. Hopefully they're actually putting more effort into the universal platform.

I assume this is an inhibit update, how long did it take to install before you were able to use the truck again?
