What features do you think Ford will include in PowerUp 3.0+

[buzznwood]

All good suggestions. Thank you for compiling, and hopefully the Mach E product team at Ford is following this thread.

I'm betting the Power / Regen meter was an intentional way to differentiate the GT trim from the Premium. Those trims seem very similar to each other, and I bet they worked to make as many things unique to the GT as possible. Even though its just software and could easily be ported to the non-GT IPC display.

The power / regen meter is really one of those should standard on all BEVs things however the primary reason it appears on GT/ GTPE is due to the serious performance limitations of the vehicle So you can see how crippled the performance on GT/ GTPE is going to potentially be and during you pushing the go pedal.

I can’t even get the options I was promised in 2020. They can take any other improvements and stuff them up their ? until they can bring us early adopters up to date.

It's very possible that some of these are already ready to go in the pending PowerUps that Ford said are set for after the BlueCruise deployment. I look forward to hearing more from Ford about what the future brings.

Ford seems to be single threaded... only does BC updates to the exclusion of other updates. Why would they sit on updates that have nothing to do with BC?

I'd really like to see a regular monthly cadence of updates... even really small ones. I think their leadership significantly under values this

I believe it's because the updates for BC also include other updates to the systems that smooth out the OTA process. I think they want to have most cars on the same software version before they start rolling out further updates.

As someone who had an issue with an early OTA bricking my APIM module, I am okay with them making sure everything is good with the OTA process before pushing other things. Hopefully in the next month or so, most cars will have received the necessary updates to bring them on par software wise with new models being made today.

From that point, they can open the flood gates for updates.

Now that Ford is rolling out OTA PowerUps up to 2.8.3 to enable BlueCruise for all eligible vehicles, I have started wondering what Ford has planned for the next round of OTA updates.

We do see intelligent range predictions being pushed out via OTA to EA members, and there is mention of a new user interface coming later this fall.

I know we all have a wish list, but I would like to know what do you all think Ford will actually push
out, aside from the highly demanded frunk button?

Summary of what should be possible, "easy" wins:
- On-Route pre-conditioning
- Charging power in the IPC or Infotainment screens
-Frunk Button (on infotainment and FordPass app)
-On-demand pre-conditioning or temp control from the FordPass app
-Power/regen meter from the GT or Lightning
-Pet Mode
-Intelligent range predictions
-Full screen Android Auto

Personally, these alone would make for a very satisfying series of future PoweUps for Mach-E and Lightning owners.

Given the HVBJB-related recall announced yesterday, I'm thinking it will be a PowerDown, not a PowerUp...

("Other than that, Mrs Lincoln, how did you like the play?")

As to your list, after they do the recall fixes, any of your suggestions would be fine, along with the previously promised by never delivered IPC display configuration capability.

Who am I kidding - I believe they'll be releasing Tetris next. And if we're really lucky, maybe Sudoku

Bah. Red Dead Redemption 2 or nothing.

We’ve been told that Ford intends to do a UI update before eventually implementing the Android OS that will come from Google Automotive Services. It seems likely that they would use a 3.0 version number bump for a large UI update.

I’d also caution against assuming we’ll see 2.8… 2.9… then 3.0. That sequence may happen, but it’s not necessarily how this numbering works. We could see 2.10… 2.11… 2.12 before we ever see 3.0.

That's a good point, and it makes sense that Ford would want to keep a number like 3.0 or 4.0 for the large UI update.

For myself I wish the car displayed battery kWh remaining instead of battery percent. Hopefully I am not a a ding dong and this is already an option!

Because my wife loves it, an unburied button for the 360 camera display.

the logic that uses the last setting on the climate controls has been annoying some times where the day before was warm so I had the AC on but the following morning is cold. When I remote started the car, it turned on the car with the AC on a cold day.

Using the last setting of the climate control during a remote start is a setting that you can change.

We're getting the stuff the Lightning has, that's been pretty much confirmed on here. But as to the "when", well...

I would like to see the ability to back out of a tight spot from the app.
Here in California people are very disrespectful when parking.
