my uninformed opinion is they delayed shipping most of this features to 2023 customers until after they can brag about them being "new" features for 2024

Do you have a source for this? I haven’t seen Ford officially confirm anything yet.

Is Jake a Ford employee? And that comment only addressed the charging speed staying the same and the sync interface updates.
what about the pro power when the truck is off?
and will 12” screens get the interface updates as well?
Yes, Jake Bley, Digital Communications, Ford Model e
"More to come on that" could be specific or broad, no need to get lawyerly about the tease......
IMHO {not an employee}, anything is possible with software as long as the underlying hardware is present ~SHOULD~ be doable, but we'll see what the upcoming media releases say.

I thought this was the case. I remember it mentioned in an article late 23 but not much after that. Glad a snagged a left over PRO with a hefty discount. Looks like the cheapest retail trim is now the SR XLT at 62k.

XLT is only SR now. If you want ER you have to get Flash, which is cloth interior but the large screen. Soooo happy I got a ER XLT as the large screen was a total pain to me in my Mach-e and started malfunctioning at 25k miles and dealership couldn't fix it.

Same here, rented a Mach e for a few days while on vacation. Nice car and while the large screen was a fun novelty for the moment, when I hoped back into my XLT ER, I was sooo happy to be rid of it.

It is odd that they show the charging speeds for the 80 amp charger to be the same as the 40 amp. Ford's website also explicitly called out the 2024s as fast charging at a lower speed than the 2023s, I'm glad that is not (no longer?) true.

This is because they removed the dual onboard AC chargers for 2024 for ER. Just a s single charger that maxes out at 48A. Fleet can get the dual onboard charger though for ER batteries.

Another reason I love my 2022 Lariat ER. No deletes, no decontenting (besides the accent lighting, which I added back) and no compromises

Does the Charge Station Pro still do home backup power without the dual chargers?
I think this is going to be a bit of a nightmare for dealers and support. Big spender is going to buy the Platinum and the 80A charger and will eventually notice that they are charging at 11kWh max. Meanwhile, they have been told that they can charge at a Tesla supercharger but the cord doesn't fit. OK, the dealer "forgot" to supply the adapter, how soon can one get here? Sometime in April - of next year!
But I'm sure Tesla is working as fast as they can to supply adapters to their main competitor so that they can lose the one advantage that they have.

Yes, they are still promoting the system when I was looking the 2024 specs on FORD.COM

And it still says 80 Amp! Somebody is going to have to go through all of the web pages now and update them. I don't think that the upper suites realize how disruptive it is to delete or derate features.

Actually, the onboard charger has nothing to do with home backup power - whether it be Pro Power Onboard or the HIS system. The onboard charger converts AC to DC to charge the battery.
Note the SR batteries are also capable of HIS. Ford requires those owners to buy a $500 software license though. (And acquire a FCSP.)
