Ford Launches New Electric Road Trip Hub Site

[TaxmanHog]

Because you haven’t pushed the updates necessary to make that EV routing happen to your 22 model year customers. How about you make that happen instead of putting out a flashy website and forgetting those owners who have been with you on this electric road-trip since the beginning?

End rant and back to planning my electric roadtrip the old fashioned way - PlugShare, ABRP, Tesla, and Google.

Hallelujah

It's nice seeing Google maps routing now preconditioning the battery enroute to the DC fast chargers.

Are iOS users gonna get the same benefit with Apple Maps at some point?

Where are you located? Ill Pay you to update my modules. Can’t trust the dealerships

No. 1.4 is the latest. 1.5 is coming. It’s going to have auto lane changing among other improvements. I have 1.4 which has lane change assist. I have to tap the turn signal to tell truck I want to change lanes. I’m only on 1.4 in my 23 because I have a yearly sub to fdrs so I’ve updated all my modules and that allowed me to do some forscan work with some info I got to enable these features. Would be nice if ford would just start rolling it out to all. I can tell you that 1.4 is worlds better than 1.0.

Ain’t that the truth. Funny you should ask. As that something I’ve done for a handful of people. lol. I’m in Michigan. But have been known to travel and meet up with people. I’m also out in California a fair amount. Where are you?

I'm actually surprised that Ford doesn't mention routing a road trip with their own Sync system.

I personally like to use it most times — had an experience that Google Maps took me to a fast charger in the middle of the parking lot that didn't exist at all — and it's generally pretty good, honestly.

But then it begs the question: why bother having owners pay for the Sync system's monthly subscription? I like the look of the UI plenty and a little bit of updating would make it great, personally.

Not sure if anyone used it but I loved the road trip planner feature in the app. I setup my road trip with all the desired stops and pushed it to the truck. Super easy, wish we still had that.

Yes, I agree! It was nice to be able to plan a trip from the hotel room and push it along with a departure time to the truck—all from my phone. Not Sure why they got rid of that capability.

Ford EV technology is at least 15 lightyears behind that of TESLA. Its sad. I have a 2019 Tesla S as the main vehicle used. Needed a truck to replace my Toyota Tundra (gas guzzler). Looked at Cybertruck (a toy), looked at Rivian (Nice but way too expensive) bought a Ford "Flash". It works as a truck but the technology to run it sucks.
