Mach-E's entire display screen interface to be refreshed later this year (per Farley)

[The Black Horse]

If Ford screws all of us, the tech-friendly early adopters, the people who took a gamble on their new electric SUV then helped them make it a crazy success- over by not giving us the latest operating system when they make the switch I'm selling this thing and getting a car from a company who has vision and can think more than 3 years down the line.

I have absolutely 0% customer loyalty at this point. I had about 15% when I started then ADM's, no communication, etc brought it down to 0.

As the car becomes more computer and less car, Expect more computer type problems

Like the MS-DOS blue screen of death …..Sometimes memory just says …..oh crap

Jes sayin

For all you non-boomers out there MS-DOS stands for Microsoft diskette operating system you’re going to have to Google diskette hint it is not a female disk

If there is a revamp of the UX, I expect a few things:

• Give a search bar in the settings, currently finding the right submenu for a setting I was looking for is a chore.
• Bigger camera window. There are tons of real estate around yet the 360 camera only occupies the little space in the upper section
• An A/C off shortcut. For god’s sake why is it a two tap action for something simple like that
• A shortcut to calm screen too if we are talking about shortcut

I wonder if Ford had this in mind when making our volume knob.

Probably not as the 4 way nudge is not supported. If you try to nudge it, it will break off. This will be for controllers as found in a Mazda centre console.

Yes. Darren Palmer told me that directly. "It's also a mouse. See?" as he played a game with it.

Anyone think PaaK will work BETTER after they get done plotzing around? Again.

You had me at "PaaK will work better"

Perhaps a new screen for entertainment based on the popular WORdLE game

First word could be FRUNK. Nobody would get it

That's already there. Press and hold the volume knob and the calm screen will start...

So, I wouldn't expect to see these changes until the end of 2022, to early 2023. But some cool changes coming!

to get to calm screen, just push and hold the volume knob in. It will launch calm screen.

Some of those things would be good. Especially the 360-degree image size.

None of them will be delivered.

Press and hold volume button for calm screen. Incase you didn't know

Yes. Darren Palmer told me that directly. "It's also a mouse. See?" as he played a game with it.

Except... The volume knob in my GT-PE doesn't "nudge" up/down or left/right. It's only press/tap/click/whatever you want to call it and rotate. Maybe that's part of the hardware upgrade for the Android OS?

 

[RickMachE]

Rotate is the mouse movement. I wasn't staring when he did it, but be rotated it while talking about mouse movement.

 

[RP_GT]

I am totally down for UI improvement, but Android OS anything gets me triggered. It's clunky, annoying to use, and generally unpleasant to look at. Here to hoping my '22 GT won't have to deal with Android anything. Cheers.
