Being able to change the cabin temp/heated seats on the fly (not a preconditioning) through the fordpass app should already be a thing and it boggles my mind its not an option.

I like all/most of the suggestions. My two cents is:

1) PLease, Ford, listen to everyone and give us the SOC displayed at all times.
2) While in Valet mode, do something to reduce the power output. I don't want an irresponsible Valet trying to find out what 580 horsepower and 775 pound-feet of torque feels like!

In all fairness, Ford patented their Pet Mode last year (including working with the FordPass app). It was confirmed in a live stream that it is coming.

When? Maybe 2029?

Job#1 Mach-E owners have been waiting for a Frunk button on their 15" display since it launched 2 years ago.

2. Years.

It was promised to them recently in a tweet directly from the CEO, that I believe, has since been deleted.

I wouldn't hold your breath on any meaningful updats or features from Ford.

Would be nice if the side view mirrors angled down when you put the truck in reverse.
Tried the park assist for the first time and it backed right rear tire into the curb. Couldn't tell it was that close on the cameras.
Other vehicles have had it since before 2005

Don’t we have that? I can open my door with a number code and start the truck using a password. What function are you looking to add ?
This is a bit different - even with the key (real/spoofed/stolen) the user has to enter a PIN code on the infotainment screen before the truck will drive.

Primarily for theft prevention, but good protection for kids and things too.

One I just thought of tonight; one long press on lane centering turns on blue cruise. Current procedure takes three button presses (cruise on, set speed, turn on lane centering).
Mine is one button press...

I leave lane centering on all the time. With that one, just press the cruise button and it sets your current speed and engages blue cruise.

PAAK that works for more than one Ford vehicle. I have a Mustang Mach-E and my Lightning.

WHY they both can't use the same electronic key on my phone when they are in the same fordpass account i'll never know .

Yet it is maddening how often i have to flip the active vehicle on my phone. First World problems for sure.

Display for Low Voltage (12 volt) Battery State-of-Charge ... especially given all the issues it creates.

I'm a new owner so this might be something that's available but I don't know how to turn on.

When I turn on my signal to change lanes, why doesn't a view of the next lane pop up on the screen?

With the large door jamb, the F150 has a much larger blind spot than other vehicles I've owned, so it's taking a bit of getting used to. It would be great to have that camera view pop up when I turn on the turn signal.

Well it doesn't have specific blind spot cameras in the mirrors like other cars. The cameras in the Lightning mirrors point more to the ground for the 360 view. The bed camera gives a decent view but I'm unaware how to turn it on with blinker. You can turn it on with the camera button though.

That's a good point. They're not pointed in the right direction! 😂
Thanks, I've tried the bed camera and the rear camera, but when you turn on the rear camera it has the "Full view not available" banner across the screen.

@Fordmotorcompany Could you move the "Full view not available" banner on the screen so I can see what is behind me about 2 car lengths back. Where it is now, it blocks the view.
