Robert wouldn’t know.

Some unverified reports on here from interactions with supposed Ford engineers at charging stops that said it was coming, so hopefully.

It was rumored to come last year.

I don’t see it happening for current models

It did, it was part of 3.6.2. They just forgot to tell anyone



Edit: it got pulled at the last second and not all documents got updated. Sorry for the confusion

The fact that they cannot deliver simple features promised 2 years ago like a frunk button for job 1 cars or charging speed displayed in-vehicle does not inspire much confidence that they are going to add something like this.

Man, the marketing team sure missed out on hyping that one...

Do you know the parameters for this to work? I haven't noticed it yet, and charged on Christmas and couldn't get over 55kw because of the cold.

Must use Ford Sync Navigation and have the DCFC as the destination or waypoint and have excess heat capacity in the system

Is there any indication it is preconditioning while driving? Why hasn’t this been talked about more on the forum???

When was this promised?

If this is actually true, I hope they fired the person responsible for writing those update notes because it is absolutely absurd that they add a major feature like that and nobody is aware of it.

Also the car should give you some kind of notification that it’s preconditioning.
