Update was done just after letting the car at the dealer. I received the alert on Fordpass.What's new in this version?
Hi Miikka... I noticed that my car has now preconditioning while navigating to the charger, ... happy to see that working.
The weather in Finland/Sweden/Denmark has been a bit cold in some of the recent weeks and battery has been sitting in temperatures below 26°C, so every time I enter the charger into the navigation then about 30 kilometers before arrival, the PTC will get on and starts heating the battery.Hi Miikka
Great news - might I ask how you noticed preconditioning in our climate/season?
Looking forward to a better charging experience in the coming winter![]()
Interesting, that wasn't in the 3-series for the US. Full screen AndroidAuto, fogging fixes and preheating before DCFC are the essential features I was missing. If they are all there I'll only nag on replacing the IPC.The weather in Finland/Sweden/Denmark has been a bit cold in some of the recent weeks and battery has been sitting in temperatures below 26°C, so every time I enter the charger into the navigation then about 30 kilometers before arrival, the PTC will get on and starts heating the battery.
And I did also the similar tests like American colleagues did, if I cancel the navigation to the charger, the PTC will go to 0 kW immediately. If I enter the navigation again ... it will go up.
Happened so many times that it is confirmed multiple times now. Also made sure that E-Heat is off (the cabin wasn't actually even warmed in this "summer" weather) so it was definitely just battery heating. Monitored all of this with CarScanner, it won't be visible anywhere else.
Also the battery temperature will rise quite rapidly now in the summer weather once the PTC is on so you can definitely see the change, interesting to see how it works when the winter weather is here and we are experiencing freezing temperatures.
Looks very good for the upcoming winter.
Wasn't it in 3.6.2 - they just didn't announce it until 4.3.4?Interesting, that wasn't in the 3-series for the US. Full screen AndroidAuto, fogging fixes and preheating before DCFC are the essential features I was missing. If they are all there I'll only nag on replacing the IPC.
I'll monitor the PTC on my way back home from vacation!
Might be, but EU stopped at 3.5.4.2?Wasn't it in 3.6.2 - they just didn't announce it until 4.3.4?
You are correct, I cannot be sure where it originated in my case. Too many changes almost same time.Might be, but EU stopped at 3.5.4.2?
So you might have it because of other updates due to the issues you had? I'll check when going on a trip in a few days.
and that's kinda weird, as we here in Europe face cold Winters, cold Autumn and cold SpringThe precondition update would have been nice, but as the PowerUp's go in Europe, I do not think it will come on OTA this year.
After some weeks of silence, my Mach-E was updated to 3.5.4 yesterday and today 3.5.4.2 was installed.
Except for this once-in-a-lifetime summer, I need it during the summer also...and that's kinda weird, as we here in Europe face cold Winters, cold Autumn and cold Spring![]()
