Bonkers Fordpass charging and precon shenanigans

[Heliian]

Woke up this morning to a fordpass message saying the cabin precon was ready at 0400h exactly. The truck is supposed to charge to 85% between 2200h and 0700h and departure for 0600.

Stupid truck started charging at 0400, from 49% and cabin precon was ready again for 0600.

Going to have to open the app every night now just to make sure it works properly.

Anyone else have similar issues?

Set everything in the truck, not the app.

I've had a couple instances where the truck didn't start charging in time to hit my 90% target before the price of electricity goes up at 9:00am. I'm not sure why that happened.

Cabin pre-condition disabled my heated steering wheel for half a day at a time so I stopped using that.

Departure Times would start charging before 11:00pm (lower rate) if it needed to in order to hit 90% before 9:00 so I stopped using that. If I could charge faster this wouldn't be a problem but I'm limited to 32 amps due to wiring constraints.

Those are my issues. I don't usually care if it's charged to my target every morning so I use only Preferred Charging Times for economy, remote start for climate, and one-time charge if I need to charge outside of non-peak hours.

Did this happen last night? My truck is supposed to charge to 90% between 11pm and 6am. I plugged in about 8pm last night and it didn't charge at all. This is the third or fourth time it's done it.

At least this time it was warm enough out that I wasn't freezing going into work. I feel like I'm babysitting a $80k child.

^ This. If the thing can't get right, at least honor my preferred charging time for my TOU rate.

last night

Ya. It's not charged a couple of times over the last few months but the 0400h cabin precon is a new bug. Going to check the truck settings, it's possible the last update buggered it.

last update buggered it.

It was probably that. Just checked the truck and even though the schedule was correct in it, there were a couple of irregular settings. Clock sync was off for some reason (set time was correct) and preferred charge settimgs slider was off.

Also, my previously completed update from days ago showed not complete at first but quickly changed to completed again as I looked at the truck 2 minutes ago.

Definitely software related shenanigans.
Worst part of this truck so far.

I wouldn't blame the software update that just happened. I've woken up to go to work about 4 or 5 times now without the truck charging and none of them happened during a software update.

The only time the software update affected my charging schedule is during the DTE update and all it did was ignore my 90% limit and go to 100%.

I too have found that charging times are randomly not honored by the truck. I had left the truck plugged in from a prior charging session last night, and randomly the truck apparently began charging at 11pm and topped off until 3am this morning. I have time of use set on my whole home inverter so I charge with solar during the day and live off a home battery at night. Of course this uninvited charging the truck hammered my battery and it switched over to grid after it sucked my 30kwh home battery down to nothing. Annoying. I know, first world problems....

The FCSP at my house is showing a pending software update for the past few days, it's still not installed, and I've restarted it a couple of times.

software update

I just received the 4.2.2.2 ui update last week and it was completed. Looked today in the truck and saw this:

But it quickly changed to completed again.

LOL, this is an every day truck. The sand and dust blowing around this time of year is near impossible to stay on top of. The camera makes it look worse than it is though, I detailed on Sunday.
