In addition, other 2021s that were even further behind have started getting multiple updates. The dealer’s loaner in driving us now on update number 3 since I’ve had it. It’s definitely not in EAP.
I am still in EAP and my 2021 Job 1 is still on BC 1.0.
I believe nothing in FDRS for our cars is BC 1.4. That's only being pushed out to F-150s at this point.
I am in the same boat, only have BC 1.0 - 21' FE
I have a job 1 built in December 2020. Received 1.3 on December 14th
December 2020! I got you beat with a November 2020 build date. Mine was originally title by Ford Motor Company in Dearborn. No BC 1.3
Not so sure about that. This was the first batch the dealer received. So no way it can be a Job 2.
Just wanted to mention that I don't have assisted lane changes with 1.3 and plain BC (adaptive+LC). I did not renew BCHF past the freebie year or so they gave us early adopters.My first test was a mixed bag. Weather was misty and with light rain from time to time. The sun had set and it was getting darker as I tested. Under these conditions BC 1.3 didn't stay engaged as well as BC 1.4 does but is far better than BC 1.0. I also found it switch to hands-on for periods that I knew were Blue Zones. Reengagement of hands-free was often slow.
BC 1.3 worked much better on my next and longer test. Conditions were dry, about 300 miles Wednesday ending in the dark and again 300 miles Thursday ending in the dark. BC 1.3 stayed engaged well. Reengagement was quick after I intervened for quick passing, speeds above 80 mph, or other situations.
I found BC 1.3 did a good job of scootching over for large or close vehicles beside me.
Assisted lane changes (using only the turn signal) executed well. I felt very comfortable with the BC 1.3 driving, much more so than BC 1.0.
The car surprised me when BC 1.3 would do assisted lane changes when not in hands-free mode. While BC 1.3 would not do assisted lane change in non-Blue Zones, it would do so in Blue Zones when traveling over 80 mph. At those speeds I had to keep gentle pressure on the steering wheel but the car would still check for a clearing, change lanes, and turn off the turn signal even though I was clearly operating in hands-on mode.
This makes me think that folks who haven't paid for BC 1.3 subscriptions (or let it lapse) will still get assisted lane changes during ACC/LC driving when in Blue Zones.
I won't bother with videos of other features that have been reported and shown in videos elsewhere. There are plenty of BC 1.3 feature videos on YouTube.
BC 1.3 is a definite improvement over BC 1.0. Differences between BC 1.3 and 1.4 seemed like marginal improvements in 1.4, even per Ford's descriptions. The next big feature upgrade will come in BC 1.5.
because bluecruise isn't SYNC. probably.
