BlueCruise Usage Skyrockets 88%

[Kakaratto]

Add more roads like Super Cruise, enable better notices when going through toll booths to grab back onto the steering wheel.

Agreed! There needs to be more roads added for all versions!

Sorry but to me a good lane centering and adaptive cruise control is all I want. Love it on my XLT and autosteer on my M3. Don’t mis blue cruise or FSD.

I saw no mention of adding more roads…so many rural roads I drive in Texas are divided with hardly any traffic and no BC support. Cmon Ford.

This right here. Even fairly major highways in TX have no blue coverage.

Seems to me the increase in usage is from free trials. I could be wrong there. My short term free trial ended yesterday. I won't subscribe at current prices. It's not worth it to me. It should be included in the purchase of an expensive truck.

So I bought it with my truck- I have still been on the free trial and have not had it switched over to my subscription.

But I also live in Texas and am happy with the coverage- yes, most US Highways (2 lane) dont have Blue Cruise- but all interstates do..

Make it $10/month and I'd pay for it when I take road trips. Not worth it for my daily commute. I'm only on the freeway for couple miles.

My 3 month trial ended last week. Count me a someone else that won't subscribe at the current rate.

My wife's Lightning came with 3 years of BC, but Ford offered a one-year extension for free which we took. BC 1.4 is pretty nice and we've used it for several trips since part of the family is now 6 hours away.

The initial three years would be finished this May, but this shows in the app...

I don't see us paying for it when it runs out in May 2027.

They need to bundle it with the “Built-in Navigation” and drop the price to the $10-15 range if they really want widespread adoption after trials end. The only way they could justify $40+ per month is if they can ever get to be on par with Tesla’s FSD.

I enjoy BC, but it’s limited to interstates in the areas I frequent which is half or less of the daily miles I drive.

Don't want to repeat what many others have said, but I do want FMC to see that most everyone thinks $50/mo is too much. I love the truck, but it's super frustrating to pay so much for a really expensive truck. It pisses me off every time I think about it.

I like BC for long road trips, it's really nice. I'll probably keep buying it for the 2-3 times a year I do a long trip (assuming it's a highway trip). But between the BC subscription thing and Ford cancelling the Lightning (yes, I know, EREV, etc. etc., I have zero interest in that) it seems likely that my first Ford will be my last.

Bluecruise way overpriced and coverage has not improved for me since i first got my '22.. I mean, how does this map of I69 make any kind of sense?

Bluecruise literally turns on during a single overpass in Alice, TX and then turns off. This is an interstate highway. It reminds me every time I take this trip how frustrating it is to be expected to pay $50/month for a product in this state.

I hoped it would improve before my freebie ran out to but it never did. When my sub runs out in June i'll look into Comma or something.

Thank you but not thank you, your software stills a third world country software, compared with vehicles that I drove in South Korea. I left the trial ended without renewing it, why I have to paid for a feature that is already there in the vehicle.

I really enjoy the added time on my commute that BlueCruise stays enabled, however 1.4 ping-pongs in the lane more than that previous version, and it also hugs the right side of the lane more, both make it hard to enjoy the drive with BlueCruise enabled. Also I really wanted it to handle the stop and go traffic on the morning commute, and it waits a little to long to initiate braking, and then waits too long to get up and move again, which then tends to lead people to jump into the gap, which causes it to stab the brakes again. I'd love to see an update to help address those issues, even without the added 1.5 features (which would be nice)

Is BC 1.5 going to come to the lightning or are we stuck with 1.4?

It'd be ludicrous to ask for recurring payments of any amount and be stuck.
