I saw this post last night Apparently 10.1.0 was released for 24 Lightnings and it contains Karaoke and the ability to use Public Charging while driving. I assume this will trickle down to us as well. It is good to see some fun updates, maybe we'll get more video streaming options soon, too!

I also find it funny that Ford seemingly went from 6.14.0 => 10.1.0. Adding the Karaoke app must've felt like it was 4 massive rewrites to the devs :p

Are people seriously using this stuff in their car?

I have literally never clicked on the Entertainment tab on my screen (is that what it says? Entertainment? I honestly forgot what the other menu is that has all of this kind of junk on it).

I play the games when I’m waiting for my wife at the airport.

I don’t but lots of people do, and they want more.

I just howl along to the tunes on my phone. Oh, and when fire engines go by. Gotta howl with the sirens. ??

My son plays the games or watches YouTube (phone hotspot) when we are in the car waiting for my wife to come out of a store, etc.

We haven't taken any super long road trips yet, but the video streaming options would definitely be nice if you were charging and eating in the car for entertainment. A bit less clunky then using a small phone screen or propping up an iPad.

I doubt we'd ever use Karaoke but it is nice to see some not so serious updates come out too. I am sure someone will use it.

Road trips with kids, we have fun with stuff like this. Ask Alexa to play "25 fart songs" the first one is "Farting in the USA" a cover of Miley Cyrus, my boys and their friends are all obsessed with it. Karaoke would be huge, that could be an hour of fun.

This.... really reinforces why I don't have kids, I think.

So what I'm hearing is karaoke is literally easier to implement than showing us charging speeds and adjusting power draw for L1/L2 charging.

Either the project manager is braindead with implementing what's actually important or the car's architecture is extremely messed up.

Why either/or? Why can’t it be both? ??

I have a daily load of them (grandkids) and you'd be surprised at the number of circumstances that one or more of us are sitting in the car in Park.

But I've also been known to start the car and let them play. It won't be long and some grown-up will give them their first phone and they won't be interested in hanging out with pawpaw anymore. I've seen it already happen, so I'm squeezing it for all I can get out of it.

The Mach-E is all the rage with the little ones, by the way.

I had my son's 10 year old friend in the car last night, for years he always said Tesla are his favorite. Last night it was "I love this car so much, I think its the coolest on the road" I was like, Damn straight kid, now wait until you hear this song!

My best friend (she insists) is 6 years old. She controls the Playlist when she's an occupant. It's an Alexa thing. I did NOT teach her!
Anyways, she introduces me to music I would have never heard, and she often sings along, which makes me wonder where SHE heard the songs before?? ? (teenage sister and friends?)

She recently introduced me to "Alexa, play Slow It Down"

I gotta admit, it sounds pretty darn good cranked up in the GTPE in Stereo. (instead of surround) At nearing 70, I would have never known.

At 3 years old.
Belting out "Let It Go" (Frozen) for the 1000th time in the back of the truck.

Like I said. Best friend ever. Goes anywhere and everywhere with me if my daughter allows

Her favorite game in the Mach-E is that parked vehicles puzzle. She's pretty good at it.

I mean it is a great song! And love that game, although on a vacation I had the actual plastic physical version, I beat every one of the 50 puzzles!
