You guys are lucky still nothing here. I was late to the early access signup
Maybe this is a good sign that they are working on pushing it to early access.
I'm going to reset my schedule day on a daily basis.
Says do not choose midnight, needs to be between
8:00 am and 11:00pm ET..
Good luck.

What time should us losers use? 8a-11p or stay in the loser zone 1a-8a?:geek:

I think mine is set for 1115pm but not notified yet. Does it matter what time to put in? strategy?

Is it better to set your truck to ā€˜Scheduled Updatesā€™ or just ā€˜Auto updateā€™? Also - is there anything else to in preparation of getting the potential update as soon as possible? I recall one post recommend that the e-brake is set. Not sure if valid.

Iā€™m early access, but have not heard anything out of Ford. [EDIT: I have now received my ā€˜Get Readyā€™ email from Ford.]

I would do it at night or just update manually (by pressing update now in truck) when available for these ones. Most will work with the normal automatic update but one of them (2.5.1) is big. Update says ā€œup to 145 minutesā€ in reality I think mine took about an hour. It got stuck for a while for me (likely due to too low battery voltage) and a few others. I posted a list of preconditions provided to me by the OTA team to the ā€œFinal Steps to BlueCruise Emailā€ thread if you run into issues there, but otherwise I think these have been going pretty smoothly for Early Access people. Hopefully they can expand the rollout quickly! Good luck!

Are you going right to the update screen after turning on? If you are try waiting a few minutes. Mine does this when the vehicle starts up but then after a few minutes the toggles enable.

We
We shall see, how many quarters have they missed to this point.
15 months is a long time for a software update..
Still waiting..
I bought my 21 powerboost nov 2nd .i got the bluecruise options and it was active on day 1 so i could be hands free on highways .

More recently the only update i got while at dealer was for bluecruise to enhance the roads ibcan travel on with bluecruise.. seems the truck can assist on more local roads than it used to but not hands-free on locals . As i understood it the big OTA will be the software updates needed to integrate bluecruise as handsfree with navigation integration so bluecruise will take you from point A to B making the turns etc... as a level 2 autopilot

That would be nice to actually see it on my truck and working..

Nope. Just a complete joke and another missed promise. They are now virtually assured to be crying wolf a 3rd time saying ā€œit will surely be Q2-2022ā€. My job 1 truck is now over a year old and has 17k miles on it. Top of the line Platinum and Iā€™m ā€œenrolledā€ in the early access plan - whatever good that does.

My patience has worn completely thin now. If it wasnā€™t for the generator feature, I would have selected a different brand.
