So, if there’s a dog in the frunk, does it become a drunk? My neighbor was curious.
When I am in the frunk with my kibble and water, it’s the “Chillin’ Spot.” ??

Door Keypad. We have it on our Raptor as well. Great feature that only gets occasional use.

The physical liftgate button. Wait... ??

I really needed to do that last school year. My kid would always toss her bags in the trunk. This year she seems to have forgotten there's a hatch back there and piles them all in the front seat with her.
Oh, I got it! Bi-directional charging! I never use that but… Wait… NM. Car isn’t software-capable. ??
It's right next to the 6 second limiter override button

Ah. I was looking under the Vehicle Dashboard. I guess it makes too much sense to put it there.

But my Charge Level is 68%. Which exactly matches the SOC for the HVB. We’re certain this Charge Level is for the LVB?

Well, hmm. It used to be. But now mine matches the cars SOC on the Ford dash. I hope they didn't screw this up.

Yes, it was changed and now it’s the HVB SOC…

Unfortunately, the LVB soc display was fixed a short while back. It now displays what it was supposed to display from the start. Now we need them to intentionally add the LVB soc back to the page. Or better yet, put it in an app on the car main display (sync screen) somewhere.

I’ve never figured out where this is.
It’s gone now, my guess is it caused ford too many problems when people could see how screwed up the 12volt battery charging is. It was the charge level on the your account, now that is back to the high voltage battery. People really need 4 to 5 places to see the same soc!

I would be satisfied if they do it unintentionally, same as last time.

Alas, unintentionally is probably more likely, based on Ford's track record here...

I can count on one hand how many times in a year I use P&C/DCFC. Every time I do, however, on Electrify America it is so satisfying to push the heavy and stiff CCS line in to the port then watch the handshake complete with the stream of electrons coming down immediately following. ?

p.s. An aside, I've been using the Ford Mobile Charger on L2 about 5 times a month for three years with nary a problem.

What is one feature that your car has that you use rarely, but highly value and would be annoyed if @Ford Motor Company removed?
For me, it’s the entry keypad. While I don’t use it too often, it’s a great feature to have and the times I have used it, it’s been incredibly convenient. I hope the @Ford Motor Company decontenting Gods never touch this feature!
Gives me the most enjoyment when asked “what’s that for” I explain for getting cash-back £€$£€$ ?
