I hope they don't.

Good to watch while charging.

Many Americans need to go for a 20 minute walk while charging.

I watch Netflix, Hulu, play games, pretty much anything while charging... Because I charge at home...

I'm not about the lifestyle of driving around using fast chargers.

Maybe the car wash mode would be nice, but I just turn off the car... Don't do drive thru washes.

I think the "hotspot" feature is misleading... Basically let's you use a phone as a hotspot for the car while driving... Not sure the benefit of that tbh.

Would be a great concept: a track and field track circling the fast charging stations ! Including shops only providing organic food..

Might want to bump that up to at least 30 minutes and Ford needs to fix the software bugs they already have first!

Prior to this update, for the car to display traffic info and satellite view map, you have to pay $9.99/mo for their premium connectivity (except those who purchased prior to around 6/2018 have free premium connectivity for the duration of their ownership). Tesla disallowed using your phone as a hotspot for traffic and satellite view maps. Yes the premium connectivity lets you stream videos from the supported services, which actually is a fair price, and I'm surprise they still didn't put a data cap on it AFAIK. Personally though I couldn't care less for any entertainment stuff in the car. I actually prefer to have none of that clutter in the system that I never used, such as the games and fart mode.

How about if EA was not just at Walmarts but at good coffee shops... I'm not interested in running.

So it's a paid service on newer vehicles, not free.

One of the Greenlots stations here is at a bakery known for its Malasads and Kau Coffee. Does that count?

Oh, the charging station? It has issues with any CCS vehicle. But that's another story.

Husband owns a Tesla, I own a Mach-E. This is what we do. In all honesty we just don't watch netflix. It was a nice feature at first, but the novelty wears off fast.

How does one charge and drive at the same time
