Yep. This happened with our daughter's Benz as well.
Harley-Davidson dropped the telematics and app support for my ELW Livewire less than 3 years into the ownership experience.
As long as everything works and the app is actively maintained, I really don't need a constant stream of vehicle software updates. I'd rather have stability and performance versus some new fangled nonsense landing every few weeks. It's a truck.
That's not to say that I don't appreciate updates...
I don't want to see attention paid to anything else other than the BC 1.4 update and getting faster DC charging rolled out to everyone. These are big quality of life updates and should be the priority for @Ford Motor Company
My brother just bought his 2024 Flash and has these software updates...
I got the ECG-24.2.5.7 update on Saturday morning. 2023 Lariat ER.
It’s encouraging so many trucks got this update at the same time. I am stoked at BC 1.4 coming soon. Fingers crossed.
PS. My kid brother just got a new 2024 Flash. ?? The Lightning brotherhood is now literally a brotherhood. ?
I just did it. Worked like a champ for my 2023 and extended me to 2027. I suspect that Ford is doing this to get 3 year trial folks configured up for an annual renewal. A free year following the trial is a heck of a carrot to do so. Now 4 years of Blue Cruise. ?
I've got my 3 free years with my 2023 Lariat ER and coming up to 1 year left.
I am planning to re-up at the end of the free period. I do a lot of long distance driving that makes it worthwhile.
That said, if Ford is listening, I would really like to see the BC 1.4 update soon. ?
I am totally fine with the staged rollouts. Stability is more important to me when it comes to a car, truck, or motorcycle. I don't want to be a Beta tester -- I want everything to just work.
I don't think that the Tesla model of constantly breaking/updating things is a good one for something...
No need for FOMO. I haven’t gotten yet for my 2023 Lariat ER. I consistently get the updates a couple months later than the early crew.
My last update was the improved connectivity update back in October.
With a 23 Lariat ER, now I wait.
Given that I have about 3000 miles of roadtripping on deck in January, looking forward forward to BC 1.4 arriving before then.
Spoiler: CarPlay issues are nearly always the fault of the iPhone itself. Remarkable how people complain about infotainment, but give their phone a pass.
This is such a troll thread. I had a friend (long-time Tesla fanboy) riding with me in my F150 Lightning for the weekend. While I have spent extended time with Tesla's as borrowed, loaners, and rentals in the past, it was interesting to hear the things that he was impressed by with the...
