I just noticed my % charge displays on the lefthand circular scale for the discharging / regenerating Display on the display with the Lane Centering Truck Status while driving. I have wished for this for some time. I used to just see the Range estimate. Did the recent updating do this?

That update first came out at least 6 months ago, I have it for about that time.

Did you get 6.8.0 before they shut down distribution?
Check you Fordpass app, Vehicle -> Features & Settings -> Software Updates -> Recent Changes

I just noticed it. Guess I didn't look close enough. I wonder what other surprises I will finally notice. 🤷‍♂️ 🤔

If you didn't get the %SOC display in an earlier update(my fate), Power Up 6.8 provides it. 6.8 made several other changes. The Speed Limit indicator, if you use that, is now on the lower left of the speedometer rather than the lower right. If you use Blue Cruise, the set speed is displayed near the Speed Limit sign display rather than in the middle of the speedometer, a change I don't like. The way the Blue Cruise in-action display on the left side of the dash looks is different, too, but I'm not about to try to take a picture of it as I'm driving down the highway! Your dash is basically going to look different after 6.8.

Thank you. I don't have BC, and so far have only seen the Speed Limit on my Navigation screen. I had an MME that had the Speed Limit flash on the Instrument Cluster when I exceeded it.

Taxman - I just got 6.8 update on Dec 20th. That's likely why I just noticed it.

What do you mean by ”they shut down distribution “?

I am at 6.4.0. Does that mean I will never get 6.8.0?



p.s. I didn’t know there was a film about Taxman:

It's been observed by the guys doing FDRS research that 6.8.0 has caused a few MME's to brick and the update has been put on hold. I'm sure once they figure out the problem a revision will be sent.

Boy, that would have been an interesting twist in my career, we do have international liaison's in all major countries, paired with a small team of revenue agents and revenue officers.

Should see something after your first successful update.

It may have come out six months ago, but many of us didn't get the update with SOC until now. I just got it last week in 6.8. Guess I'm lucky?

What's funny (or not so funny) is I know my truck is setup for automatic updates and is scheduled to check each day, however, the app shows the opposite: that updates are not enabled. Which do I believe? And why is there a disagreement?

Where does one get to see the update number? All I see is a vague description of what may have changed.

There is sometimes disagreement between app and truck especially if there was a recent change. I would trust what the truck says.
