Power-Up 6.1.0 OTA Update

[elmedico27]

What’s that?

https://github.com/elmedico27/fordpowerup — once Wikipedia removed the Ford Power-Up page, I copied it over to GitHub and have been maintaining it there ever since (for MME at least, I have not been keeping up with the F-150 OTAs)

I got this update Tuesday. This morning I got the “Drive mode unavailable” message. After about 5 minutes, I was able to select a mode again. This is the first time I’ve gotten this in 29K miles. Only other factor is this is the first time driving in the rain since the update.

Drat! Maybe the next update will fix these. I just started getting "Drive Mode Unavailable" within the last 6 months or so, but it is so random and sporadic that I can't nail it down much better than that. I had it happen 3 times in a day once, but then it went away for at least a month. I got one this week, just before 6.1.0 installed, but haven't driven since.

So here's an interesting question: is 6.1.0 = 6.1.0?

Lightning on left, Mach E on right.

If they are the same update, this shows just how bad the release notes are.

They are not the same thing

They are not the same thing

Oh great!

Who came up with the idea of identical update numbers for two Ford vehicle lines that are issued at about the same time but are completely different?

That's going to really mess up the GitHub repository!

Hey @elmedico27: How are you going to handle this new twist?

Is 6.1.0 still a step toward BlueCruise 1.3 in the Lightning like it is in the Mach E?

Speculation is yes. What’s known for sure is BC map update and the long-awaited HIS fix.

Yes, in the sense it is still building the foundation for upcoming features and releases

OK, I'll take that as sort of a yes. Thanks.

Try to log in and see. If you're in then you should be getting OTA's before the general population and also email surveys.

Thank you. That answered my question.
I was not enrolled. I was invited for my 2021 but not for my 2023. I enrolled the ‘21.

So far I handle it by ignoring F-150 updates ?

If I were to add it (I can) I’d just put it in there as a separate line item.

Have they paused the 6.1.0 updates? I am still waiting, and I noticed that this thread has slowed down. Anyone get it yesterday or today?

Job 1 2021. Received on Thursday.

Apologies if someone already noted this: I got this yesterday afternoon, but the message is different than OPs. It says,

"WHAT'S IN THIS UPDATE?

Ford Power-Up 6.1.0

Minor Updates
Some minor fine-tuning to keep everything running smoothly.

Ford Power-Up delivers software updates... etc."
