Center display shows incorrect time

[condition5]

Short version: 2024 Mach-E Premium Center Display shows incorrect time in status bar. See photo of display time and the actual time from a GPS-timed watch...4 minute difference here, and sometimes it was 5.

I haven't tried rebooting the display (instructions are on p. 403 of owners manual).

Anybody else??

Long version:
Two-week owner here. Mid Atlantic cold, snow and slow charging at home (waiting for the charger and electrician) have hindered my exploration of a 2024 Mach-E.

Today I took it on it's longest drive (120 miles round trip). Got to fully test Blue Cruise (jury's out), 1-pedal driving (love it) and lane keeping (the colored bars on the drivers cluster are a fun video game) on a low-traffic highway drive.

Imagine my surprise to see that the big center display shows the incorrect time (off by 4 minutes in this picture with a GPS-timed watch).

Previously the FordPass app showed incorrect dates/years in a multiple charging sessions.
I don't write code...but incorrect date/time displays seem like a spectacularly bad user experience feature.

Shut off auto time sync, then turn it back on again. Cycling should fix it.

I just went through the user guide...found 500+ instances of "time"... but none adjacent to "automatic" or "sync"...

is this in the controls menu someplace?

that one caught me out on my second mach e, time never was correct, for whatever reason the auto update time was turned off on my second mache when I purchased.
