What's wrong with this picture?

[Mach-Lee]

You're on a long trip trying to make it to the next charger. Top number is bigger, so you're good right? This could ruin your day if you don't notice it in time... ?

See the issue?

This car's software is sooooo organic. ?

What type of electrons have you been feeding your car??? ?

Almost every time I go out working?

Your car is testing you to see how alert you are..... as you go along, the tests get harder.....?

They should push out the 2025 IPC design to older cars. While not perfect, it seems to have fixed a lot of bugs and weird design decisions in the old software.

Hardware is different. Or at least the IPC part number changed for the ‘25’s.

Wow. You think it would just make the top number red when it gets less than the bottom number instead of swapping them. Thankfully, I haven’t seen it happen yet. Good catch!

Right you are! In fact, when you get upside-down like this, the IPC should throw up a warning front and center, while there's still range to react. @Mach-Lee did you send a feedback message through the car to Ford? Could be a future OTA.

I'm so confused by these readouts and icons. They are so similar that I am getting mixed up trying to understand them.

The number of miles the GOM thinks are in the battery in the top pic is over the number of miles to the chosen charger. The number of miles the GOM thinks are left in the battery is under the miles to the charger in the bottom picture. This is part of why I navigate point to point instead of the overall trip. ?‍?

Someone on the dev team decided it would be better to sort the numbers in descending order. I see no problem with that. ??

It’s interesting that the SOC and distance to charger remained the same but the GOM estimated range dropped 14%, 99 down to 85 “GOM miles”. I get that it’s a GOM; things happen, electrons make a dash for the exits, or whatever. Maybe the temperature spiked or dropped like a rock, or the Navi realized a big hill was ahead (perhaps at Pikes Peak …. with a fresh driver in the car …), or maybe the car decided it was having a bad hair day …. . I wonder what the explanation is.

I’ve never seen these icons before. I assume this comes up with native nav? Apple Maps gives you the % charge remaining at destination, which is a very important number.

Results were simulated here, but the range can suddenly update if conditions change, in particular if you encounter a thunderstorm, go up a mountain, or have a lot of BMS error at the bottom of the pack. It can also recalculate if you miss a turn or exit. The point is, you're probably not going to notice when the numbers swap places!

Yes. First of all, the numbers should NEVER switch places. Second of all, the charger or destination should turn RED if it becomes further than the range of the car. Ford knows about it, but I don't see much chance of them fixing it.

Native nav, and it's a flag with 3rd-party navigation apps (you need the charger icon to display in order for preconditioning to work). I can't use Apple Maps for road trips because (in addition to not preconditioning) it has a fit and sends you on a wild goose chase if you're going to arrive with less than 20% (I shoot for 10% to save stops), and there's no way to change it.
