Any ideas what the “No” symbol over my battery on the trip tile means?

Obviously, my battery still works and my car runs.

Like others said that symbol just means average. Lots of German cars use it in the US.

It's your average efficiency. It's a confusing symbol to use but seems like it came with the newest update.
That’s stupid. A 0 with a slash though it is used to denote zero when there’s a chance of confusion with the letter “O”. By the way, I was taught to write zeros that way by an engineering professor of German decent when I was in college at a highly regarded engineering school (Lehigh University). Why is @Ford Motor Company using this symbol in an inaccurate way?

Yes, we've throuroughly discussed this folly in the referenced thread. I'm surprised you missed that one.
Fun fact: according to.Wikipedia even other Europeans use this symbol to unambiguously denote a zero. Apparently, Germany didn’t get the memo from the Middle Ages. ?

Sorry - I actually have a life outside this forum ? I was making a pathetic attempt at “running” 13.1 miles down at Walt Disney World. Someday, I’ll learn to just stop trying and give up ???

Also slash my zeros and have written a few. All along I have been looking at the number beside the symbol?‍♀. Looking at the symbol my consumption is a lot better by #/0 times. I will go with that moving forward. ;)

Agree with the Zero with the slash. Learned that in physics. Do you also put a cross bar on your "Z"s or Zeds as our English and Canadian friends call it?

I suspect Ford is trying to have software that is as universal as they can. Now, if they would just try to have it as stable and functional as they can.....

To be fair, its not a zero, as the symbol is a nice round circle.

O vs 0

This is correct. It’s also not immediately obvious or discernible to the casual observer and most people glancing, would interpret the symbol as “zero” or, perhaps “empty” or “null” (another application I used that symbol for was logic and set theory to denote empty sets and groups. Of course, I’ve forgotten all that now and barely grasp the concept of 1 Mustang Mach E, 2 Mustang Mach Es and many Mustang Mach Es ?)
