FordPass Update 4.33.0 -- Tesla Supercharger locations added

[uclavic]

Strange, Tesla does not list a very popular charging spot between So Cal and Vegas!

Tesla app does not show the any of the 60 Baker, CA SC stations at all.

Guess it's back to the old 8 EA stations when I make trips to Vegas...

I'm wondering if its because a bunch of the Tesla stations look like they haven't actually been deployed yet. I always stop at that EA station in Baker and have never had an issue having to wait. Hopefully they'll add that station eventually.

Here in Truckee CA on I80 the Ford Pass app shows 1 of the 3 Tesla charging stations. It is the newer one which has over half the installed capacity. I would we now have more charging stations Than gas pumps. Found some medium speed Chargepoint stations I didn’t know existed since I just charge at home. The future looks bright

I hope the Tesla station at the Truckee Safeway is upgraded sometime. Apparently it is a V 2 station, but it is most convenient for us.

Tesla has also updated their app to show available superchargers:

I got tired of waiting and updated and added a 240v charge to my house. It was only $1100, and the electricians also fixed some other sub-optimal electrical in my home.

Have any of you had problems with your FordPass 4.33 update for Android creating other problems? I have the problem that if I click the Account button, the app goes directly to the Message module. It does not allow you to leave without closing the whole app. I can not get to the other Account modules.

Did you get the OTA today too?

For me only EA still shows in the app despite me having the latest one (I can see Tesla chargers on the map)

Does Tesla show up yet in your P&C? I got the update and mine still only shows EA.

Check your FordPass app. There is a new filter allowing you to exclude any charger requiring you have an adapter. Also, if you check the Charge Assist, you will find a similar filter.
There is another filter further down the Charge Assist filter page for Networks. Among the choices is Tesla. If you OK the Tesla one, Charge Assist will show Tesla SC sites. The entry for the site states that an adapter is required. I just tested this on my car, a 2021 Select. (My car has not received the Tesla P&C OTA.)
So maybe you need to go into FordPass and Charge Assist and check your filters.

Happy for the US folk to get this update. Over in EU we've had access to Tesla chargers for quite a while now. But apparently it's too difficult to add European chargers to the FordPass app, let alone Plug 'n Charge.
Europe needs to get some more 'update love' Ford, as there's quite a few of your computers on wheels on our roads here.

Thanks, but that wasn’t what I was asking about. In the Plug and Charge settings, some others are reporting that now there is a Tesla icon along with the previous Electrify America icon. I’m still only showing the EA one. I‘ve gotten the Tesla chargers OTA update and the FordPass update and now can search for and see Tesla chargers in the map fine.

My "tesla" icon showed up after a bit. First time I looked after the update it wasn't there, the next day it was. FYI, YMMV.

A tale of two apps. Ford Pass is showing the nearby Tesla charger. Yay!

The Tesla app demonstrates that some chargers aren't open. The red "9" on the left is the Laguna Promenade location shown above in Ford Pass. But where that "Wal(mart) on the right is shown is the home to a big Tesla station and one that pre-dates the station on the left. And it's off-limits.

Yeah I noticed the same thing when checking both apps here in FL. I like the FP bc it shows you which stalls are taken, while the Tesla app doesn’t show that. So for now I think that you have to use the Tesla app to find the stations that we can use and then find the station in the FP app to see which stalls are open.

Protip: If when you check the FP, there aren’t any open Tesla stalls that are next to each other, I.e. 1a & 1b or 2b & 2c, that means you don’t have an available spot to charge your Mach E. The only time this isn’t applicable is if the very last stall on the right has an open space next to it where you can put your Mach E.

Tesla is not making any mixed V2/V3 Supercharger open to NACS. Baker was originally a V2 and then they added V3s to it. I think it's to reduce confusion and that's probably a very good thing.

No, I still only see EA, but I haven't gotten the OTA yet either.

I don’t think he was saying what you’re saying.

He’s pointing out that the Ford app shows a usable Tesla station but it doesn’t show the other nearby non-usable Tesla station, which would be a correct result.

Has anyone that has the Ford app through iOS TestFlight gotten an update yet?

I wondered why I haven’t seen the update and this must be why. When I tried to switch back and search on the non beta version, nothing shows up for chargers near me, even though I know there are several.

No update yet

Android beta app only got an update yesterday, so I'd think the iOS version should be any day now.
