I really hope ford engineers take costumer imput seriously.

It's missing some improvements I'd like to see. Votes here would only be representative of relative interests in the features chosen for this poll.68 votes so far. This poll is starting to collect some really good data as to the features we are most interested in.
I suppose when charging out and about and there is nowhere to really go when charging, it would be nice to just glance up at the screen to see progress instead of checking an app every so often. More so a quality of life improvement than a real need.Surprised to see how popular showing the charging stage on infotainment screen is - what's the allure? Are people sitting in their cars while it charges? The few times I've used chargers away from home, it's been at a mall or shopping center. I can see real time on my phone (on fordpass when it's working, or else on the electrify america app) what the charging state is while I'm inside shopping.
Its to trouble shoot, or find charges that are faster than others. I just like knowingSurprised to see how popular showing the charging stage on infotainment screen is - what's the allure?

The tiles reappear sometimes though. I never listen to the radio but there's the radio tile showing up even after swiping.BTW, you can "throw away" tiles you don't want in the row of tiles by dragging them down off the screen. So if you don't want the radio tile, just drag it down and it's gone. You can also drag up instead of tapping to switch the main big screen.
Doing the best I can. It was tough to collect all feature requests from dozens of threads, some of this stuff may be being mentioned for the very first time, and some requests (more voice commands, etc.) just aren't specific enough. These features have to be specific enough to actually help the engineers.It's missing some improvements I'd like to see.

I suppose with enough votes, assuming everyone followed your voting rules, it is still "good data," just not fully representative.
I'll have to look again, as every other Ford I've owned in the last decade did have a button. Of course, it also had a button I could hit from inside the vehicle so that the liftgate would already be open when I get there, assuming I'm not just opening it so the Meijer dude can put in my groceries.There is a button above the license plate on the door
The fob's at home, and the steps to using the app are, pick up phone out of my pocket, unlock phone, swipe to the correct screen, wait for the app to load, wait for the Bluetooth to connect, and then open the liftgate. If I want to do this from inside of my house for some stupid reason, then, swell. But if I'm traversing the two point five meters from my seat to the liftgate, then that solution is pretty stupid, versus, you know, a physical button that's present in every other Ford.Also through the app, and the fob
I nominate putting that button on the top right, opposite the Car menu and next to the Profile menu.I would also like to see a button added to the home screen to turn calm screen on.
It'd be incredibly useful. More control over charging in general would be great - for instance, setting max charge current.Surprised to see how popular showing the charging stage on infotainment screen is - what's the allure?

Nice idea, and nice thread. I would like to see this stickied somewhere so hopefully it gets picked up by Ford engineers and product designers.I read through numerous threads and compiled a list of 21 new feature requests. I tried to be as comprehensive as possible. I did not include a few that seemed too rando/weird or that I just flat out didn’t understand.
I have placed all 21 in a poll. Now here is the trick: YOU GET TO PICK SEVEN. Not eight, not nine. Ten is right out. The number shall be SEVEN.
Let’s see what the most popular requests really are!
Oh, and if you think I left something out, let me know below. I will probably do a reformulated poll at some point in the future which cuts the less popular items and adds some new requests to see how they fare.
