Software Version 2023.02.0 [beta] -- Improved EPA range, key fob firmware, new door ajar notification, steering improvement & more...

But didn’t the last update allow a fix for this? You can set current location as “home”

I can't find this in the last few release release notes. Maybe I missed something? I'll have to check tomorrow.

Software containment for front trunk latch sensor issue resulting in reduced sleep and increased overnight range loss.

Boy I hope this helps with the vampire drain, it's getting kind of ridiculous how much energy is wasted when sitting.

It’s buried down in the “Additional Improvements” for 2022.47:

“In the Navigation app, you can now set your current as your Home or Work location.”

What I’d like:

Reverse has a creep mode. I prefer to control reverse with the brake vs the “go fast now” pedal.

When you hit the “home” garage opener, your front camera turns on and your mirrors fold.

Duh, I didn't realized that 2022.47 was above the next release. Thanks! I'll check it out tomorrow to see if I can figure it out.

On the map hit the star icon and go to edit your home location. You should see the option to use your "current location" as home. If there isn't an address, it will use GPS coordinates instead.

I had to do this for my work because the building address is different enough from the parking garage that it would never register as having arrived at work. Using the new "current location" feature fixed that for me.

First update post-holiday break, I expected nothing breakthrough. I bet 2023.06 adds dash cam.

It would also be nice to receive a notification when “walk away lock” completes successfully, as well. Our Mach-E does this and is rather reassuring.

Bird tweet sound does this?

Am I reading the notes right that range improved on this?

Right now it's about 125kwh usable on a 135kwh battery. I'm assuming they increase the usable portion?

i would rather my steering effort stay as is please. Can we make this a selectable option please? instead of just changing peoples interface elements.

By my reading this explicitily says so:

The update also increases the depth of discharge, which increases the usable battery energy.

So they are tapping some of the usable battery at the bottom of the pack.

I’m really impressed by the number of improvements here. Good update.

The unfortunate downside of OTA updates, it's just as easy for them to change or break features you like as it is to fix things you don't.

This happened couple of times and the door was unlocked for the whole time. Partly it was our fault but the doors are heavier and require more force to close. My previous car's app (Hyundai) used to send me a notification if I left the door open.

Our doors are actually very easy to close IF you have a window open. If all windows are rolled up, then the air pressure prevents an easy close and you have to use more force.

Yes, it would be cool if they played a sound, like a bird chirp, when it locks. Maybe a future OTA will give us this.
