Yeah, unless your charging session stops (by reaching limit, or a charger error, or someone disconnects the charger) which turns off the AC compressor. You get no notice and you don’t know the interior temp.
Those updates are out for 22-24, it’s just when you get the ota update. I didn’t want to wait so I went the fdrs route. I have a 24’ lariat and when I picked up my truck in feb my updates were way behind.
Yeah...I kept switching things around of importance. I really want them all asap. The only reason I put "stay in sports mode" first is because I am reminded of it every time I start my truck but you're right, in terms of functionality importance, preconditioning on demand is more important.
Legacy behaviour, ie. they don't want you to get your fingers caught in the fan or fan belts when you open the hood {FRUNK}
People love to blame the infotainment, but the issuers are invariably on the phone side of the equation.
Okay here's a trick that I have discovered with recirculation to keep it on... go into the screen and pick max account (even if it cold outside) be sure recirculate is on, choose your driver focused or not... let the screen time out... now tap your temp up to the desired temperature . Seems to keep recirc on no matter what . Yes it is essentially in Manual node but I've turned off come back, changed temp up and down even had heat kick in and turned it off and recirc will stay on... one key piece is letting the screen time itself out and revert back to whatever the previous screen was... eventually you will have to do it again but not very often and you can tell by the difference in the fan noise or when you get the lovely smell of an ICE vehicle that's in front of you...
You could be on the other side of the aisle. Tesla is basically a software company that happened to manufacturer cars. Sure, their OS is great and snappy and can OTA update anything at a moments notice. The first Teslas had terrible ride quality, fit and finish issues to this day. With time much has improved. On Ford's side, they manufacture the best selling pickup truck. You could argue the software sucks and the OTA updates are shit compared to Tesla. But the fit and finish, ride quality and handling characteristics are beyond Tesla's capabilities. Im not giving Ford an excuse to not continue improving. But these trucks are hardware limited. Perhaps you should have stuck with the CT?
My phone stays connected perfectly in my Tesla. My Lightning, disconnects, screen goes blank, sometimes I have to do the silly reset game. A couple of months ago the dealer told me, at the end of this quarter a big update is coming to fix that, yeah Right.
