So The Verge had an interview today with Ford software chief Doug Field. I think the article goes into a lot more detail on what canceling FNV4 means and the direction Ford is heading. Overall I think it may be the right move for a legacy auto manufacturer. The devil will be in the details and...

Here is my current 360 display. Do I need the additional update, lol? Feels like there is a lot of black space around the view that didn‘t used to be there. Many thanks for input!

Follow up with observations after driving a few days. 1. BlueCruise is much, much more stable on the interstate. I noticed my Lightning "ping ponged" more than hub's Mach-E and though it was b/c he's running a newer version of BC. I'm sure that contributes, but Sparky is noticeably better after...

Report from the very short drive home. 1. The hands-on Bluecruise stayed engaged on my entire road. Previously it would disengage (and not reengage) at a bad curve. It handled it all correctly, which was very surprising. My road has not been maintained very well and the lines are a challenge...

I'll check the 360 when I pick the truck up. I really hope they did that as well.

I'm getting my truck back today after work. I have a strong suspicion they temporarily put in another 12V battery (on a charger) to complete the update, then swapped my original battery back in. I'm anxious to see if any issues come up after this. As Joneii said about his truck, my truck is a...

Update: No updates ?. Stopped by Monday and they charged the 12v battery to 80% and tried again. Still getting failures. They were closed on my way home today (Tuesday) due to the snow coming in. They gave me a loaner yesterday. It’s a 21’ Bronco Sport. Spacious interior, but going to this...

Well that explains that. I'll definitely be calling them as soon as they open if not leave a message now before they do damage with something that will take longer to resolve. Thanks you @Mike G for looking into that and tracing the problem down.

Well Sparky went in Friday to have the IPMA update ran (along with a few other CSP issues). They had the truck all day Friday and the update continually fails. Dealership called Saturday saying it was still failing and to check back Monday. I really like my dealership (Cook County Ford) and...

I'm incredibly happy with my '22 Lariat Extended Range. At 28 months I have over 52k miles on Sparky. This is by far the nicest, most advanced vehicle I have ever owned and does everything I needed and wanted it to do. Living in South Georgia it has also been a lifesaver during extended power...

Similar situation. I’m down near Adel and work in Hahira. We (my partner and I with our four dogs plus my mom and her two dogs) used my workplace to ride out the storm with a few other work families. I used the 110 outlets from the truck parked in the garage to make sure every section of the...

Just an update. I have not noticed the problem lately. I have not done anything to correct the issue, but I do rotate my tires every 10k miles. Perhaps that contributed to the "fix", or perhaps a software update came down that did something. I'll be rotating my tires again within a couple of...

First, thank you for this service. It is much appreciated. Would you check 1FT6W1EV6NWG04076?

Mine was really stable in the lanes until a month or two ago. I’m not sure what changed. I’ve made sure all the cameras are clean and it varies between solid and bounce on random days. Comparing it to the Mach E with the updated BC is night and day though. The ME is rock solid every time I’ve...

I leave speed recognition on as it is convenient, but know for a fact it is NOT only camera based. There are two spots that have no posted speed limit signs and the truck consistently changes speeds, and in another instance (on the road to my home actually) it completely ignores the decrease...

The GPS being off is a very interesting thought. Hmmm. I do wish there was more transparency into how the system actually works between cameras, GPS, and cellular signal strength (triangulation is usually far more accurate than consumer GPS). The sun is understandable and acceptable. That’s a...

Sunday I made a round trip from South Georgia to Atlanta. Probably 8 hours including charging. BlueCruise lost it's dang mind the entire trip. Now let me preface by saying I realize this is a first world problem. I'm not looking for sympathy, but do want to vent just a little. I'm tech...

I ran out of juice once as well. It was a long trip and I was ready to be home. I was monitoring mi/kwh and adjusting speed on the interstate doing my own mental calculations. In my case I pulled into my driveway and was making the turn into the carport when the truck hit "0". When it says 0, it...

2nd this. My rate is .12?kWh, but if I installed solar and sold it back to my EMC they would only credit me .02 making my cheapest effective rate .10 (with no discount hours). It would all depend on when your grid electricity is cheapest.

I have the same issue, though I think it's at a slightly lower speed range. I'll have to check again. I've become so used to it that I don't notice it. 2022 Lightning ER received July 2022. I feel like it has always done it at a very specific range of speed (though what I can't remember...
