Just like the title says.. I have a December 2021 build and I’m curious if anyone went to a dealership to update and received it?

It is available to dealers to apply to cars. However, there has not been a directive from Ford to actually do it yet, So most likely a dealer will not do it, or will want to charge you for it.

The update should come at some point OTA.

Note that currently it seems to limit max charging speed to 125kw, down from 150kw.

As @benk016 said a dealer won't just update this for you unless you're extremely lucky or pay for it. They have to bill the ~1 hour of labor to someone and since there's no TSB or recall for the charge curve updates there's no way they can bill Ford for it.

I know of 3 of us, myself included, who have performed the update and the link to that thread was included in Ben's post. That thread should contain all of the information you're looking for.

Thanks @benk016 @DevSecOps . I must of bypassed that topic since GT was in the subject line ?. Great info. I’ll check out the thread now.

i get the battery health concern about fast charging after 80% but if there’s a update for some of the model. Should be a choice for all.

It is available, in the sense that the dealer or those of us with the tools and software can perform it. Job 1 vehicles have this update through the customer satisfaction program. All job 2 vehicles will likely receive it eventually via OTA. GTs are all Job2. When I create posts I start with what I know and since I have a GTPE I can confirm it starting there. Once I run enough VINs to confirm it's availability to non-gt job 2 builds I normally say as much.

Okay I know now for future posts. I had the tools in my cart a few weeks ago. I don’t know if I have the courage ?

Honestly, Since it looks like OTA's are actually going to start coming out soon, it may not be worth the investment unless you just want to always have the updates as soon as possible.

Also, I've noticed most of the updates we don't see available with dealer software, until they go full release OTA.

I'm glad I found this post. I thought I was going crazy. So I received my first Edition back from the dealership after an extensive repair (going to start a new page explaining what went down soon) and my vehicle received the new charging curve update. My mach-e is a Dec 2020 build. I was charging my mach-e today to run some tests and I noticed it maxed at around 125kw. I thought it may have to do the fact an ID.4 was charging next to me as well. I wasn't sure if it's station specific. But if you guys are now saying, according to the data graph above, that its now maxing at 125kw vs 150kw, then this may be true. I'm going to travel to San Diego from Los Angeles this Sunday to perform some more tests and I can release the results for you all and let you know what I'm encountering.

I have a job 2 vehicle and my path to the updated charging curve update was through an unfortunate accident. Car was out of service for a while due to parts shortage, when it finally came back from the body shop it threw an error whenever the car was put in reverse and there was a DTC code for the IPMA module. Took it back to the Ford dealer that was supposed to do a final check on everything. They spent a few hours updating a few modules and recalibrated the camera. When I got the car back the error had been cleared, but it lost charging settings (location, SOC limit, departure time) as well as previously configured PaaK phones. All other settings had been retained, and the devices now defunct for PaaK remained paired and functional for Bluetooth and CarPlay/Android Auto. I don't think they did a master reset, otherwise I would expect all preference settings to have been wiped out. None of the updated modules listed on the paperwork seem to suggest charging or PaaK. I was surprised an hour later at a Volta 50kW DCFC, when the charging rate dropped to 35kW as SOC crossed 80%. Charged at Electrify America today, charging rate dropped from 62 kW to 38 kW when SOC crossed the 80% threshold - when I last charged at EA in February, it dropped off a cliff to 14 kW. Evidently what I saw on the Volta charger earlier in the week was not a fluke.
