that's what I think too, but I've looked everywhere I can think, and like I've said before, it doesn't always do it, maybe like 20% of the time
Mine finished last night with 276 miles for 100% woke up this morning. It’s 100% 273.?

I can say right now that mileage went down to 268. I have a triangle under status. It says pull down to refresh and then I get a thing saying there was an error and underneath where you can see what time your automatic updates check and things like that that has no information there.

You may want to spend some time reading through threads. What you are seeing happens to everyone, all the time. The GOM reacts to temp. When you charge to 100%, it basically displays a number you won't get. Put in a destination and start driving and it will adjust to a more accurate number.

You can also edit a post and add to it, versus multiple posts minutes apart.

Do you have your car programmed for multiple charging locations by any chance? Just wondering if in the cases where it fails the car may not think it is at its home charging station and not a time zone issue. Also if you did not set your times in the car itself (used FordPass) then maybe clear them and reset them in the car. Once again just throwing out ideas. Some people have had glitches with settings entered from FP that cleared when programmed in the car itself.

We recently had a multi-day power outage and ever since then, my charge starts during the day, even though my preferred times are set to overnight. I have suspected the clock is off. I have a ChargePoint charger and am wondering if it's a clock setting in the vehicle or in the charger that is looking at the preferred charge time.
That's a good idea to enter settings in the car instead of through glitchy FP. Thanks.
