Love people chiming who have no idea how software dev works, especially for devices that could kill people if something went wrong comparing it to an iPhone

Ok. Compare to a Tesla instead.

I love the obligatory "software is hard! Not every company can do it properly!" post.

The Mach E has been in production for a long time. Think outside the box a bit, buddy. Allocation of your development resources to the seeking out and destruction of bugs. There are still WAY too many.

And if the problem is too many modules scattered between too many revisions of the car... Guess what? I guess that's a f-up that should have been forseeable eh?

It's ridiculous that there are people who because THEY decided to buy a car - YOU can't have a reasonable criticism about it (this criticism is WELL within the realm of reasonable expectation). I should really shrug my shoulders and say "hey I know they're trying really hard" whenever my car does something wrong or doesn't work. About twice or three times a week.

Ridiculous.

Ok so one company is doing this. You said plenty of other companies have figured it out. First gen product, and tbh they’ve already fixed a ton of stuff for Job 1 users, 90% of my issues and new features were done OTA. There’s clearly a plan to make things better, Doug Field is head of software now, and I’m sure he’s concerned with more forward lookjjg stuff but I don’t think it’s a coincidence we got a whole new UI within a year after he was hired. I guess the icon design didn’t make it to his level though lol

I just want my wireless to work again. Wireless charging and wireless carplay

Just got this today, 2021, job 2, EA

Meh!
I'm more inclined to use my Verizon unlimited data plan phone as a hotspot for Sync to connect on. After all, you don't know "where that WiFi has been".

Question for all you who are "in EA".

When you go to the EA portal and select your vehicle does it say you are actually in a specific EA product group or area?

Cause I'm supposedly in EA and have answered a few surveys....but I'm apparently not 'enrolled' in any specific programs....and there doesn't seem to be anything on offer.

So for those of you who are also in EA....are you enrolled in a specific program?

No, just part of the general EA population and never been offered a Beta program.

Same, show no programs. For intelligent range it did list that, I think I enrolled, but that was the only program I have seen listed.

“Easy listening improvements”?

I got the update this morning. And I’ve been driving around listing to podcasts using CarPlay and the listening has been the same as before; it didn’t seem any easier or harder.

 

[Mike G]

Well that's the reason I asked...I think there are a lot of people who have signed up to the EA overall program and are 'enrolled' but aren't in an early access group for things like Sync updates etc. And they're wondering why they aren't getting stuff....becuse darn it "I'm in EA!". Except....not really.

 

[AhardFSU]

Even with this new update I still can’t connect to my iPhone 13 max hotspot, has anybody been able to use there hotspot?

I’ve been able to use my hotspot on my IPhone 14, but it took me two tries to get the car to connect.

OTA update received. 21 Job 1 EA.

The things about bugs is that your bugs maybe different than mine and they may not be repeatable and you maybe 1 of only 18 people experiencing a bug.

So while I agree with most of your point, we have to keep in mind that not everyone has the same bugs and you maybe the only one experiencing something you consider a bug. In those situations it can be hard to just fix one person’s specific bug with a software update that is sent to thousands on people.

I have been thinking there is a connection between the Beta groups and being Blacklisted for OTAs because updates could impact data collection, just a SWAG.

This sounds like a copy/paste update from one of those cheap chinese carplay retrofits.
