If it's not plugged in prior to driving, the only way to get rid of them is to plug a route to an EV charger in the Ford nav. If you're close enough to one, it will precondition your battery and the jail bars will reduce.
I called the NHTSA and they had no interest in discussing my issue, claiming that Ford had a recall in place for the problem I was describing. They were not capable of understanding how I could have already had the part that is Ford’s solution to the recall fail.
