Feel your pain, brother. Had 2 weeks off road catching up on report writing, back in saddle this week, 1,000 miles. 2.8mls/kWh. All the time Iāve had car over 42k drive setting never seemed to make difference to mpkWh, itās nearly all down to that e-heat I refuse to turn off and driving āstyleā which mine is hard & fast. Bought it to work for me and it does. Mileage charged out at cĀ£18k plus my drive time so paying its way. Thought Luke Duke was the only way!!!! Funny thing is Clients now ask me to saddle up the Pony when they want me to go out for them!So, I've done 38000 miles (no where near Teslaeater, but my car has been in the workshop for a month, that's my excuse!). During that time I've tried all the drive modes in various circumstances and I can't see any difference in mpkwh. I'm sure I read somewhere that efficiency is the same in all modes, can someone confirm? I love driving in untamed and I don't use one-pedal, but if there's a definite significant improvement I may have to adapt and stop driving like an episode of the Dukes of Hazard!
A month without the car is purgatory by the way!
I donāt really know where to look for software number 1.6 etc but just got iPhone 14 pro max, donāt know if itās a car software update thing or an iPhone thing but I just selected full screen and the mapās now huge! AND āphone connects every time without fail now which it didnāt always before. Not sure when this happened but havenāt bothered to go full screen for ages as there was no point because only the area beneath map used to change??āGot mine back from the dealer yesterday after being in the workshop for a couple of days to attempt to fix the 1.6 problem. Ford have been involved and recommended a course of action to the service manager and senior tech.
It didn't work so it's all been thrown back to Ford software engineers to resolve.
Let us know how yours gets on please and if they fix it please share what they did - or let me know their name and number and I'll get my dealers service manager to call them. This was the 6th attempt...
