After almost 2 months of driving now, I have a couple things I would love to see changed/added on the dashboard.... and hope that if enough of you all chime in we can get Ford to consider for some future OTA.
1. add display of actual kW power in/out, 'always on', so driver can see regen/output power and verify actual charge power while charging. Suggested location for display might be just above or below current display of 'Estimated Range'. I think we would all appreciate verification of the charge rate and it is very informative to see regen/output power consumed with 1-p driving....
2. change the 'Range' from a calculation based on cumulative average consumption since last 'cleared' to be a 'rolling calculation' based on last 100 miles that updates based on net consumption over last 100 miles every mile. This would increase accuracy automatically as conditions change.... such as if you have been driving around town, and head out on a long highway trip with less regen than in-town stop-and-go, the estimated range would 'adjust'.
so..... comments? additions? discussion?
maybe just 'like' if you don't want to comment, so Ford can see that *some* percentage of Members like these ideas....
