Yesterday I took a short trip and returned with a smile on my face. I use Android Maps extensively and I noticed that it now fills the Mach-e's screen on my vehicle. It's nice to have large maps displayed for directions, etc. It got me thinking of all of the upgrades that have occurred in the 10 months since I've owned by 2021 Job 2. This is a partial list that comes to mind:
I would be interested in the thoughts of others on this topic. What have you noticed that has improved? Or are you a 'cup half empty' person and feel that all of this should have worked flawlessly when the vehicle was first released? What have I missed above--I'm guessing a lot. What is still anticipated? Are we really supposed to get a new operating system soon?

- The Phone as a Key is working well now. I find it reliable, such that I almost never carry my key fob. I also like the fact that I can now cancel the feature on my phone when I return home. I used to have to force-close the app to keep my phone from attempting to connect to the vehicle.
- Frunk works from the Ford app, although I seldom use it.
- The range estimates seem to be better, as do the charging time estimates.
- I've just noticed new functionality on the vehicle's screen for A/C controls. As a result, it doesn't look like I'll need to get into the HVAC screen much, if at all.
- Blue Cruise seems to be working better (although I have limited experience on its use).
- The Alexa app feature looks like it will actually be useful. Just the response to "Alexa, give me the weather forecast" is nice!
