if you have received 3.5.2.1 and have a 21MY (job 1) car then the next update you should receive is 23-PU2001-PR-FX. I wouldn't hold my breath though because they only push out updates in stages. Not all cars who are due the particular update get them at the same time, so I doubt that the second update for us early owners will be pushed out until ALL early owners have had the 1st one. Could take months.

Every time something like this happens - I start to think wow, FORD have finally got their act together and we are going to be flooded with updates and they've turned their attention on Europe and will get us up to US specs ASAP.

Only to realise I'm forever the optimist and its never going to happen and FORD will always over promise and under deliver.

Blue cruise UK is a classic example - handsfree in a Mach-e is already way better than anything elsI'veve driven including a new Tesla Model Y with FSD. So i assumed it was just a hop skip and a jump before all UK cars could benefit from BC ......

I always think the same when i receive any updates . The way that Ford rolls out OTA updates defies logic .
I always ( possibly naively ) that there are not that many Mach e’s to update and why cant they all be done at the same time or notify owners immediately a new update is released so that the load on servers is reduced through the day )
Another way is to do it by car type eg GT, EXT RWD , again the numbers are not vast .
I wish Ford would let us know the criteria for rolling out the updates rather the feeling that it is totally at random.

Has anyone had anything beyond 3.5.2.1 yet ?

I got the 3.5.2.1 update on 18th January 23 and nothing since. Not sure what Ford considers soon?

Not sure what Ford considers soon?

Aaaahhhh …… Good old Soon™

Could be next week, next month, next year, or never ?

Patience is a virtue all Ford owners learn to develop the longer they own a car.

Any idea if RVs have dropped for Model Ys too?

Bit late this response, I know, apologies, but this market intel just popped into my Inbox:

I think anybody can “subscribe” to the Autovista intel, it’s often an interesting source of inside info on motor trade & tech.

Not sure why you would just limit yourself to checking for updates one day a week. I would (and do) have the check updates scheduled for everyday of the week at a time that's 15-20 minutes into a daily commute. Best chance of ensuring your 12V battery is back up above the minimum 80% SOC threshold, and that the car's TCU is in good cell coverage as well.

I got mine yesterday too. The operative word being "soon". This is a VERY open ended word. Going by current update schedules we can expect the next one in about 6 months time

And me today.

And me today.

Ditto, though whatever it means in reality or if it’s something to be excited about is anybody’s guess??‍

UK / EU cars:
Some of the job-1 cars (built before June 18, 2001) that have received Ford Power-Up 23-PU2001-PR-FX as the second update recently. So a relatively short time after update Ford Power-Up 3.5.2.1 ?

As Ford has informed, Ford Power-Up 23-PU2001-PR-FX is the first update for job-2 vehicles. Those of you who have received this update in recent days are surely job-2 cars?

They also used the word "shortly"
so bound to be this week

Well, I take back what I said earlier in the week. Got the second of 3 updates not long ago. The other interesting thing is that there has been a lot of talk about updates only being downloaded if battery levels are above 80%. Well this latest update was downloaded with my LVB at 72% and my HVB at 66%. So much for that theory.
