Not defending Ford's perceived lack of progress.. but speaking from a position as a software engineer, installing an update in a semi controlled environment with known variables (factory or dealership) is an infinitely simpler task to perfect and provide troubleshooting for, compared to sending out an ota update where every home network could be different and having to deal with potentially corrupted downloads or other minor issues that were overlooked during development.The stupidity of it all is that if Ford has stated that a software fix has been applied since the end of may so why is it even taking until July for it to be released. I know there is the usual excuses of Ford is not a software company, but f'k me talk about a pathetic slow roll out.
For perspective, even giant software companies like Apple and Google took years of manually applying updates through a computer before you could perform ota updates on your phone (mostly) without it disrupting your daily routine.
