Why is there an icon for a ventilated seat in our cars that aren’t available with ventilated seats? ?
Ford said "what's the one thing we could do with Sync that would piss off already annoyed non-BEV Mustang owners, and of course Jim, the most?" and that was their answer.

No doubt there were many meetings in the Thunderbird Room, brainstorming that very subject ? A bubbler for the koi pond would placate me though ?

Interesting that voice command for 4A is "Drive me to (destination, address or POI)"

I have a Homebridge setup with the unofficial FordPass plugin, so I can use Siri to say Unlock my Mach E or Start my Mach E. And you can name it whatever you want in the Home app.
Can you go over this for me? I have Homebridge running but what package do you use for the Fordpass plug-in? You able to post a sample of the Mach E config too?

https://www.npmjs.com/package/homebridge-fordpass
For the config, I just used it straight out of the example code.

I'm also using Siri Shortcuts using these directions

I'm using Siri Shortcuts to precondition/remote start my car at specific times because it refuses to follow the schedule I set in FordPass.

My experience with voice command has been hit-or-miss. I thought Ford said it was going to recognise commands using natural voice but more often than not I have to keep trying until I find the specific phrase it wants.

It’s better than Sync 3 was, but it’s not “natural”. That said, it’s pretty good compared to others, once you know it’s grammar and vocabulary.
