Welcome to the Ford Early Access Program

[Kansan]

Received my email today. I've been waitlisted since January.

To finalize enrollment I've read the rules, which don't seem too bad.

The legal terms and conditions are pretty ominous though, and seem to include (if I'm interpreting correctly) agreement that they don't have to provide support for EAP features, they don't have to fix the truck if the EAP features screw it up, and I would have to hold them harmless against 3rd party claims arising from my use of EAP features. They also have text that sends you to NHTSA to report dangerous defects - I assume that they mean defects caused by the EAP.

For those of you that are in EAP, what is it really like?

• Are you able to revert back to current software if EAP test features aren't working in your truck? Are you dependent on Ford to push the reversion software? Or are you stuck with defective software until it is released to everybody with the fixes?
• Do you know when you're receiving an update that is EAP vs for everybody?
• Is there very much EAP activity? How often do you get to test out new features?
• Have you had any concern about test software that is buggy enough to be a problem? Affected your usability of the truck?
• Do the updates show up OTA only? Or would I be able to identify and/or load them with FDRS?
• What else do I need to know before finalizing enrollment?

Thanks for any insight you can provide.
