SOC Display in Instrument Cluster?

[Jim Lewis]

I have a 2023 Lariat ER that I got 5/5/23. I got several updates in July, but not the dash SOC one. Still waiting. Ford again comes through with lack of clarity and helpful information about how it's operating.

Relative to Ford's performance, the other day, I spoke to one of the installers of my Home Integration System (Intelligent Backup), which is still not working. He remarked he's been able to get answers to thorny problems from Sunrun but never from Ford. They just ignore any requests he's put to them about the Home Integration System and its problems. If Ford wants to make it in the EV business, they shouldn't leave their customers in the dark, not knowing what the heck is going on...

2023 Pro, in EAP, and I have it. Came in an update months ago. Wasn't designated as part of EAP though.

Because they might be required to use the certified base line, maybe because of government regulation.

figures if the government is involved that it makes no sense

23 Lariat no SOC and I just did updates for all modules listed for my truck using FDRS.

As others have said, it is not logical that updates for these trucks are not cumulative, meaning there are thousands of trucks out there with potentially hundreds of different software versions in the same modules. Huh?

My dealer also performed the FDRS “update all modules” at my request (and expense) with the same result. I’m sorry there’s this mystery of inconsistent updating between trucks, but it’s somewhat better to know we are in the same boat. Thanks for posting.

23 er lariat here as well. Jan build took delivery in april. Never received the soc update. Had received some of the other 4.x updates but never that one. But have started receiving the 6.x updates recently
When I checked fdrs a month or so ago, I had a bunch of modules that could be updated. I haven't committed to the mongoose, but am considering it, just to do all of the updates myself.

I've been anxiously awaiting this one. No joy yet..... '23 Lariat ER. Canadians aren't allowed to participate in the EAP. I've tried to sign up a couple of times. Guess we are too rowdy...

So far, I haven’t heard of anyone with a 2023 MY who has this update, only 2022 (including Tom Moloughney).
??

My 22 Lariat (built in May 22) has it.

The window of opportunity has closed for that update.

My hope is that FoMoCo has a catch up strategy for the end of the year or when a major update is issued to bring everyone to a uniform level of functionality.

So if your truck didn’t get the update back in July/Aug you’re not getting it? I have a 23 Lariat was at the dealer they say there’s nothing more to update, and I just received 6.2 but it has stop at that no 6.3 with Apple Maps routing.

I heard it’s because you’re too polite.

I am not in the early adopters program. And yes it came down to my 2022 Lariat ER via an OTA. Don’t recall the specific one.

I have it also on my 2022 Lariat EX with max tow capabilities. About 6-8 months ago, there were lots of chatter on this forum about towing trailers (5K - 8K).
As soon as the owners put in their destination and their trailer stats in the truck's Nav system, the truck gave them confusing indications. Some had to turn around and go home because of insufficient range. The truck hasn't yet acquired enough data to calculate consumption to the destination point. I have extensively described my experiences with towing my own travel trailer. My wife will jab me constantly about that issue/indication at my instrument panel. We all wished then, and I believe Ford was listening, that when you having such conflicting indications, you needed to look at your current SOC indication, proceed to your next destination, and the truck will recalculate the range until it had 15 miles of driving in that direction. Nav system also knows your route, elevation changes, temps and speed limits.
Ford, putting the SOC indication as a number, was a very good idea. Actually to some of us who understood the limitations of the system, was another way to interpret the info presented to us and make comfortable decisions.
Now....why some 2023 with the same options don't have that indication, surprise me.

Many Lightning owners have messaged me to look up their VIN to see if this update is pending for them, and I have not found a single truck with an IPC update pending. it is my opinion that Ford pulled this update for some reason.

That makes sense, but it makes you wonder way doesn’t it?

Any insight?

Same boat here, 23 Pro. Dealer checked everything and @rugedraw helped with FDRS as well, no IPC update pending

Interesting. So I had looked up my VIN in FDRS back on 10/8/23. I took a screenshot:

I assumed that all of the above meant I had pending updates for those modules. But maybe not. Like I mentioned, I was mostly curious and have never actually used FDRS to do updates.
