Is Ford fixing the driving efficiency bug?

I got the same notice. But My EV driving tab is there, and populated, and appears to be accurate. Did they put it back already and fixed?

I am not holding my breath.

Given that the biggest problem I see with 'My EV driving' is the utter inability of Ford software engineers to be able to reset the variables all to zero for each new trip, I hold little hope that they are competent enough to fix it at this point.

I'm laughing while looking at my 'time on charger' is at over 24 hours, even though I plugged in 1/2 hour ago... because the dumb app didn't reset the time from yesterday's charging session.

Not sure what you're talking about, I just have the best engineered EV in existence

What software development method is it you have to take out features to work on them? Is it like a reverse sprint? lol

You must have a GT-PE and a lead foot …

The Trip Energy screen inaccuracy has been a gripe of mine since purchasing the vehicle. According to that screen, my car is way more efficient that it really is. Routinely shows 3.7 miles/kWh but in reality I get around 3.2.

Anything above 3 is good imo. A lot depends upon our location and terrain as well, not to mention our driving habits. Averages can be deceiving. My average over 2 years has been 3.3 but that’s because of the downhill grades leaving home. Rely on the average to get to our place and you’ll be stranded at the side of a very rural road. Still, accurate logs would be a good thing.

Mine has always shown 3.5 even though more likely 3.1

my last trip of around 200 miles was really 3.7, who knew.. I started at 100% and still had 40 %;after the trip so 3.7 miles per KWh , numbers worked out for the first time

I have found that on the longer trips like yours, it seems to be more accurate. But in general, it usually shows a more efficient mi/kWh than it actually gets

Agree. I'm happy with the roughly 3.2 I'm getting lifetime. But I would be even happier if I was getting the 3.7 that the car says I'm getting.

Why are they removing my ability to drive my EV?

No one’s beating my infinite miles/KWh!
