It's good news actually.
Thank you Ford for addressing the security concern regarding. Unless of course it was always that way and the insults were just a lack of knowledge?

If it was an update, Ford certainly missed the opportunity to receive credit, with their apathetic attitude towards update notes.
I had been complaining about the lack of locking during unattended charging at Tesla Superchargers 6 months ago.

I was able to interrupt charging by merely pressing on the charge unlock button when the doors were locked.

Now it came true - locking adapter while charging and doors locked.

Guess Ford was listening ???

Yeah, I reported the ridiculous L2 charge history KWH tally in FordPass, using the FordPass feedback tool. Complete with screenshots of more KWH that the car is equipped with. ?

Suddenly, a couple of weeks back, FordPass' talley came down to earth, although it still uses the number of hours the charger is plugged in as charging hours. Nonetheless, it felt like someone at Ford actually read the feedback and it counted for something.

So thank YOU for getting Ford to lock the Supercharger down for us. ?

Same.

I recently made a long trip and walked away to eat. The button by the port alone wouldn't release the cable. I had to unlock the car.
I just tried this at my local supercharger. Locked the doors, turned off bluetooth on my phone and watch (just to be safe). I was able to press the button to unlock and unplug the adapter without unlocking the car first. I'm on the 10.1.0 update as my latest install. Not sure if I have to do something different or it has to be charging and locked for a certain amount of time for the lockout to activate?

Im fully updated also and the car stopped charging when locked just by hitting the button.

Guess we will have to wait until more than 1 person chimes in with the claim of it having changed.
