Quotes of the week

Hear from some of the most impactful users to drive changes

The app used to be great, but after an update, Ford removed the ability to monitor the pro power generator in F150s and the zone lighting controls. I'm very disappointed that features I bought the truck with are being stripped out.

I am trying to do analytics on my charging habits and energy consumption, but the history is limited to 45 days. Ford retains all of our data, so why can't we see it? Please fix this and show us our charging history.

The app is very basic and missing a lot of features that other vehicle apps have. It runs alright but lacks data about EV driving, making it not very useful for extra functionalities.
