Power-Up Software 4.1.3 pushed

[jhalkias]

Hey guys, Power-Up 3.6.2 also made some enhancements to help while you’re out on a road trip. If you’re heading toward a DC fast charging station (using your vehicle’s navigation), your battery will now start to warm up within 20 miles of your destination. This allows the battery to accept a charge at a faster rate in cold weather when you have excess heater capacity, getting you back on the road. Remember, you must enter your fast charging station into the Navigation System in order for preheating to work.

Ford Power-Up software updates like this help us make improvements without the inconvenience of asking you to leave home. At Ford we value your satisfaction, and we respect your time.

GREAT

If you're going to drop info like that in here, I hope you're ready to answer questions about it.

• Is there a plan to have the car show any indication that preconditioning is happening?
• Will the 20 mile limit be increased? At highway speeds, 20 miles of heating isn't nearly enough to make much of a difference, which kinda defeats the purpose.

GREAT question

I will add . . . I know this is the Mach E forum, but does this apply to the Lightning too?

Just got this today, 2021, job 2, EA

EA (Early Access)? I have heard of this all over but can someone explain? Is it for 2021 models only? I own a 2022 Premium. Thank you

Clearly they hate you

Now that it's come from the official FoMoCo account, I guess it's an official announcement. No take-backsies. We should see it on Ford Authority siting "sources familiar with the matter" any minute now.

Excellent! Now if we could trigger this on demand for CarPlay users ?

The geofence should be user-settable, or, better yet, dynamically set based on battery and ambient temps.

Meh

Which OTA adds functionality to the volume knob/wheel? I just got 3.6.2

Early Access is a program you can volunteer for at earlyaccess.ford.com As the name implies, you will get earlier access to new software (sometimes) once accepted into the program and you MAY be invited to test some new features before they roll out more widely. You’ll also be invited to take an occasional survey about the vehicle, software, and features. It’s possible Ford may schedule an in-depth zoom call with you.

Wonder when the 23 MY will get this update as we don’t have the consistent 360 camera button yet that fokes get with the volume knob update. We have the volume knob and new UI but it seems it’s an earlier version then what people are getting over the air.

I suggest just being patient, lots of folks on here have waited a couple years for all these updates up to 4.1.2. I'm sure you won't have to wait that long to get the camera button.
