So I had a thought that since our cars are newer that we already have some of the upgrades that are being added trough OTA. Updates.

I could be totally wrong though.

like I said, just a thought…

My Job 1 got 6.2.0 yesterday and is "downloading" another. So mine broke the cycle somehow right when others started getting 6.7.0.

MY23.0 Premium, not in EA. Last update was 6.1.0 on Oct. 18.

My 2023 has consisted been towards the end of the pack for updates this year. I’m thinking lots of these updates are just bringing the older cars up to speed which ours may already have. Maybe @Mach-Lee can comment.

Of course I don’t think anyone is complaining there’s too much transparency in whether updates are available or not for your vehicle, and the absolutely crazy LVB/12v “strategy” does leave people guessing unnecessarily.

22 and just got 6.2. It's been like a month since my last update.

Or maybe it takes electrons longer to travel to Alaska.

At first I read that as "Or maybe it takes elections longer to travel to Alaska." and I thought, "Oh no, not another about to be banned political thread!"?

Yes, I know there is a thread on being stuck on 6.1.0 for MY21, but when I posted in there about my MY23.0, I got (jokingly) flamed. Any MY23.0s past 6.1.0?

Not me. 2023 CARt1

What may add to confusion which updates are currently limited to cars in Early Access vs. others.

Also, we've learned from Ford that even when they are releasing updates (whether limited to Early Access or being released to other cars) they do this in batches or "waves".

When releasing software that a developer believes is ready ... it's amazing how people start to find bugs when the software is deployed in large scale -- due to the extremely broad numbers of unique circumstances that the developer couldn't possible test for.

Doing releases in batches allows them to make sure the software really _is_ solid and ready for broad distribution.

Unfortunately we do not have visibility into the deployment to know when software is being released in limited batches vs. broadly available.



We have also learned that cars ONLY check for updates when they are on. A parked car wont check-in with the servers to see if there are updates. If you don't use the car for a number of days it wont get any updates even there are updates available specifically to your VIN number (e.g. your car is included in the "batch").

It would be nice if there was a way we could check to see if updates are queued for our cars. If I've got no updates queued, then I know there's nothing specifically wrong with my car (nothing I need to do). But if there are updates queued, I know I'd need to make sure I use the car to get the car to notice them and start downloading.

And then there is me who is early access, have always gotten the updates…….and my last update was August 7.

I drive daily, charge regularly, have changed every variation of update settings…….nothing.

The only weird thing is my lack of a connected services menu in settings (which I can make show up sometimes using unlock button in FordPass).

I’m at a loss at this point on what to do, but don’t want to waste a trip to the dealer until all the BC updates are released.
