This is so awesome. If I had one of these cameras I'd definitely be doing the same thing, as well as checking for any heat loss around seals.

I'd also go into my bathroom with it, for completely scientific reasons of course.

Interesting that it looks like the roof is emitting less heat than the side windows. Is that the glass or metal roof?

Great post! Any chance to get a view from underside? I don't expect much - as I think the underside battery cover is metal and may not allow any heat to dissipate / show up. But may be worthwhile as the "preconditioning" is for both cabin and the battery.

That’s absolutely been my experience with the glass roof, it does a really good job at keeping out heat. I get way hotter through the side windows lol.

So which did the OP do, since you can't select "pre-condition".

We should use the terminology of the function that we can select. That way people will be clear about what someone is talking about.

What term are you going to use if Ford says that Remote Start includes minor pre-conditioning, or when they add pre-conditioning capability when a DC charger is selected?
Ford has always stated departure times have preconditioning and remote start does not.

When they add pre-conditioning to remote start or other method, I guess celebrate the OTA update! Until then, pre-condition means departure time.

That's simply dumb.

Use the terms that are the functions. If it was as simple as you say, then it would have been questioned earlier in the thread.

Departure time or Remote Start. Pick 1.

Yep, that’s the one I used. Saw it in a Bjorn YouTube video and decided that I HAD to have it. The pro version will set you back about $250.
We can check these out from our local library! To find thermal leaks in your home and make improvements for energy efficiency. Only about a year wait list to check one out, lol. Sadly I didn't have the Mach-E at the time when my turn came up.

Thanks for this awesome post!

I'll see if I can grab another image during charging (unfortunately, most of the charging is when I sleep, but I'll see what I can do).
