Confirmed. I'm EA and mine was installed overnight. I've got a 2021 Job 1 (built 12/2020). I haven't had a chance to play with it much, but the update was successfully downloaded.

Received BC 1.3 update last night on my 2021 Job 2 car (in early access). It said the car would be unavailable for 140 minutes, twice the amount other folks had been told. Mine must have the slowest processor among all...Got the update started and walked away. About 80 minute later the survey email from Ford arrived in my inbox. Drove some 40 miles this morning. On a stretch of highway where BC 1.0 would disengage briefly on a handful of curves (which always baffled me because it was able to hold it on a couple of tighter ones), it never asked me to put my hands on the steering wheel. Lane change worked exactly as expected. It has arrived a year later than Ford originally promised, but at least it is here and like everyone else I was offered another year of subscription free of charge when my original three-year subscription came up for renewal. I drive ~30,000 miles per year and use BC often enough that I would be willing to pay for a subscription, if the cost was on par with GM's Super Cruise.
I never got another free year... Job1

Let’s see what this BC version downgrade brings?!

Your an EAP member. The rest of us are getting "soon".

In ideal conditions for Hands-free driving, lane changing isn't gimmicky at all. You get in a nice rhythm with the interstate traffic and you go hours without touching a pedal or entering steering input. You are NOT in the inside lane unless you are coming up on slower traffic. You check your mirror and there's nothing to impede the lane change and you just lightly tap the stalk.

You get clear of the slower vehicle (18 wheeler) and you lightly tap again. It even extends the default 3 blinks to whatever is appropriate for the maneuver.

It's really pretty slick in true cruuuuuiiiising situations.

Tough crowd.

Bluecruise isn't going to be at its best in congested travel.

I should be giving it a big test mid-week. I’m going down to the IONNA event on Apex, NC. It looks like Kyle, Tom, and Dominick will all be there. Tom may be running his pizza oven off his Lightning. Of course, I’ll be checking out the new charging too.

Except when there is a wreck on the interstate and we are all crawling along at super low speeds…personally I love it taking care of that.

But I guess if your the type to get flipping between lanes in that scenario you’d hate its lane change.

The Jane and Joe Sixpacks of this forum who are not in EA will expect some type of report of this event/meeting.

I definitely plan to write up the IONNA event and the driving experience.

Ford should have rolled 1.3 out to those who paid for a subscription first.
I doubt that the OTA queueing application even has VIN subscription status as an available parameter.

Probably driven by VIN build data and compatibility considerations?

I am an October 2020 build and a paid subscriber to BC for the past 11.5 months. I do not have BC 1.3. I am not in EAP. Who knows for sure how they prioritize OTAs.

Does 1.3 also add the Karaoke? With kids I feel like this may be the more important upgrade if OTAs are back on the menu.

Don't forget this is the last Ford for every 2021 whiner.
