FordPass 4.29.2 update (Performance & Bug Fixes) was 4.29.0

[mmcguirk]

Just got a tweak to 4.29.0, now 4.29.1:

They removed the driving log from the Charging drop list

So where did the Trip Log go?

It's removed temporarily until they've fixed issues with report reliability.

Are we ever going to get a working Trip Planner in the App? It's never worked, it has some very aspirational charge times:

The first session below assumes the charge will maintain a charge rate of 200Kw from 19-75%. Not sure how it's soo broken it doesn't fit any of Ford's EV charging curves.

Why is ABRP able to calculate your Car better than you?

They're still trying to figure out the car key.

Once they get that working, then they'll move on to getting you to your destination.

Why aren't people just carrying a fob?

If you rely on your phone to drive your vehicle then I guess you should get used to getting locked out.


All you had to do was login again. Relying on your phone as a key, you should be familiar with the tech.

Why should I have to carry a fob? I paid for PaaK. I don’t want to carry stuff.

Anyway this is yet another reason to turn off auto updates. We rely on software so we need to know it’s not going to be updating or broken by an update when we need it.

The android package is labeled 4.29.0, but the application shows 4.29.2

Apple went to 4.29.1 yesterday but says it 'fixes a vehicle image issue affecting customers with more than 1 vehicle'. Still no driving log.

First thing I noticed, my charge log data returned old records I had previously deleted, back to 6/14/23.

My EV Driving data is more reliable but not 100%

Ford took drive log data out of my Ford Pass App.
When is this getting put back in and fixed?

No word as to how long until they have ironed out the accuracy & reliability concerns many of us have voiced in the past, I'm patient, just give me a useful tool.

As mentioned in the EA thread tonight was my weekly charging activity, after topping to 80% at EA, I drove ~10 miles home, losing 2% then connect to the FCSP to bring her up to 85%.

Also mentioned in the LOST CONNECTION thread I did a reboot of the FCSP to get it talking to the cloud.

Plugged the Lightning in and let her rip at 80A, effective throughput was around 76A, took 35 minutes to load up 7% or ~10.2 kWh, actual consumption as measured by emporia Vue2 was 10.5 kWh.

Interestingly, when I looked at the [Account / Charge Station / Connected Charge Station / Insights] the data was posted [BEFORE] I had unplugged, this is a new revelation as before we've always had to unplug to get the event data!!!

The FordPass [Home] screen did show the charging details with a rate as ~16 KW while actively charging, and when done about 9.6 kWh loaded to the battery resulting in a 8.6% conversion loss [9.6/10.2]

After I unplugged, the details stat's disappear (as they always have), but when I looked at Vehicle/Charge Log, there was no data for either the earlier DCFC session nor the just completed Level-2 session.

This is either an issue with the cloud or the app.... who knows for sure.

Hopefully this issues are ironed out before the next release when you bring back the new & improved driving log!

Low & Behold, the cloud caught up overnight and posted my charging records!
COME ON FORD data processing, it's not the 1960's anymore get with the program.

I've had the exact same problem... delayed charging info in FP Charge Logs. It happens every time I charge. Don't remember if it started with 4.29.1 or 4.29.2. The quickest I've seen it pop up is about 10 hours.

Yup, Monday afternoon charge didn't show until this morning.
I also had to power cycle the FCSP again, in as many days.

I've not had a recent update but today when I plugged in, the truck immediately started charging. It's supposed to wait till 11pm, I checked and the preferred charge settings are still set. Anyone else have this happen with no update? I left unplugged and will try again after kids go to bed. If that fails I guess I have to go through the delete location routine.

No changes to the APP version, but cloud services have persisted being slow on several functions.
I don't use time restricted charging, so can't replicate your experience.

Just plugged back in, preferred time working again. I do believe your conjecture regarding cloud issues is on spot.
