Advice: Preconditioning

[nvarras7]

I have my Departure time #1 Set at the time I leave my house in the am. I use the Second tome to change when my departure times change. Takes about 1 min. It's not the big of a deal.

I have a thought - and I’m not being cynical - I’m simply fed up with Ford’s inability to provide a current interface on EVERY aspect. It’s 2024 - not 2004!

Not sorry if this offends anyone - this simply a realistic observation and comment.

Ford needs to provide a ‘Precondition Now’ button. Click and done!!! This isn’t a revelation - it’s just common sense.

‘Only takes a minute’ is not acceptable - what App do you use that it ‘only takes a minute’ do you use! Answer: NONE!

and if you are spontaneously leaving, you don’t have only a minute.

has anyone with an objective view at Ford ever use their products? This is your Flagship EV - put resources into improvements!!!!!

Yes, ford should work on implementing on demand pre-condition button in the app/car.
It clearly make the car lot more efficient.

Not everyone lives a robotic life where they can forecast departure time for the whole week.

Ignoring the long trips with a need to drive pretty far to reach next charging point, but for regular daily trips of 50-100 miles, what is the point of preconditioning?

I have been wondering the same thing too. My understating is the battery produces more juice and takes charge easier at a warmer temperature, but as long as I have enough range to begin with and wouldn't need charge on the road is it necessary to precondition the battery?

You're in Florida, so I doubt it gets cold enough for you to need preconditioning.

Much different story up here where you need preconditioning to have decent acceleration, range, and heat.

Hm. Not everyone can plan the range they need upahead. Life happens
