Does anyone know why Ford deleted wireless charging for S650 MY25?

Probably because it just makes phones really hot.

Wireless charging in modern cars is a scam, change my mind

I won’t change your mind. It’s as gimmicky as ventilated seats.

Very similar. Both can warm things.

And some of the wireless chargers that you can buy that have the little coolers to defeat the heating uses the same technology for cooling.

As far as the complaints about wireless charging go - people need to understand that inductive charging is never going to be as fast as corded charging. On average its about 15% slower. And some heat is an expected by-product of the induction process due to the coils that are used.

So if your phone is dead or low on battery, you should always plug it in anway. Wireless wasn't meant to be a replacement in that regard. It's a convenience feature that keeps your phone charged simply by setting it down. I think thats a great feature inside a car. Most issues with wireless charging are due to older phones and thick or bulky phone cases.

I have an iPhone 16 Pro and no case. The charger in my 2024 EcoBoost Premium sucks. It may be that the protruding lens assembly keeps the phone from resting flat on the pad, and I may one day try to reshape the pad surface to correct for that. However, it isn't that big a deal. If I have 100% charge when I start the day, I can use it to play music wirelessly all day and still have plenty of charge at the end of the trip. Even though I have it, I don't have a problem not using it.

I'm one of the few that is really happy with the wireless charger. Works like a charm.

Same here, mine works great. Don't have to plug an annoying charging cable in and out of my phone's charging port every time I drive, and the wireless pad keeps my phone charged for 2+ hour drives while it runs both the Waze app and internet radio from my phone.

I'm shocked that the 25's cost more than the 24's yet they lack wireless charging.

To bad they didn't replace it with front parking sensors...
of all the years cars have had them & all my past cars..but don't get me started..

Whats funny is my '24 comes with adaptive cruise control. So it can literally detect cars in front if it and their distance, but for some reason CAN'T detect a wall 1 foot on front of it. How does that make sense?

Because Ford was stupid and did not program the radar, which is already there, to provide alerts. Just dumb! Especially for a Mustang!
