How many bugs need to be ironed out before more features get rolled out?

Are we expecting any new features at this point? Seems like they don't have a roadmap for it.

Yeah this is painful. I feel like I need to create my own app at this point.

I totally agree... Why cant I see if my truck is actually locked for one? Seems like ford has sold us the truck and moved on. No money in it for them to develop the app. Same for the car software. They added PAAK afterwards but what other functionality have they given us? They have sign recognition, why not traffic light recognition? Seems like it would be easy enough to implement...

Fordpass is an application which covers their entire vehicle portfolio, BEV isn't the exclusive focus, the application lives on and it's cross value functionality will improve with time.

It’s weird that the data is apparently available for the truck to transmit things like if you left a window or door open or if you left it unlocked, etc. If it’s a cost cutting measure then Ford can just introduce “premium” app features like these for like $3.99/month and I’d gladly pay that.

To be fair, Fords rolling off the assembly line today have the same limitations in terms of seeing if your car is locked in real time and remote commands - EV or gas. I don’t think the Lightning has been left behind (yet). Ford as a company is just extremely behind other EV brands in terms of software capabilities. I’m guessing they’ll add that capability one of these years to the app and future cars, and whether they push updates to older cars will be telling.

Hey, I’m not complaining. Compared to the Kia app, it’s like this app is from the future. It’s sooooo much better.

iOS 26 is out today, and there will be a newer, more advanced version of CarPlay coming along. Maybe the FordPass 5.28 update has some relation to the latest version of iOS?

FordPass is free, most all other brands are charging for theirs.
