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.
How did you get the secret power?. Please tell me your secret ingredient to work! I want this integration!!!

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?

Copy that! If you remember hit me up with a direct msg in January. I’m planning to head back out to LA around the end of Jan.

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.
