Latest Power UP Updates I've Received As At 02/06/2025

[Teslaeata]

I think the E in 1.1E it stands for Europe. Definitely seen it rolling out in a few European countries the last few weeks. I've subscribed on a monthly basis as it's no cheaper subscribing annually. Means I can cancel and resubscribe if I go on holiday although I'm now considering a road trip to Copenhagen. 1,079 miles and BlueCruise can drive 90% of it handsfree!

Have you found a real benefit?

Only really works on Motorways and don’t do the overtaking.

Apart from sitting behind the wheel in awe of the system and the gimmick factor, eyes on road, concentrating as normal, hands off wheel but not knowing what to do with them or where to place them but still so close to the wheel they can take back control of the steering left me thinking I may just as well rest them on steering wheel anyway and just allow adaptive cruise to do its thing ?

I will pay when the free period is up though ?

Hark, dear Friend, a tale I spin, of journeys made and peace within!
Twice to Lakeland's hills I've steered, where nature's majesty appeared.
And found, as o'er the miles I'd glide, with BlueCruise as my trusty guide,
A calm descended, deep and still, yet keenest senses served my will.

Now freedom's gentle hand I grasp, from labour's chains forever passed.
Each fleeting month, a new desire, to roam our isle, sets heart afire.
No hasty pace, no hurried plea, just sixty by the lorry, free,
Upon the motorway's dull expanse, I trundle, lost in waking trance.

My elbow, once a resting place, finds solace now in empty space.
No longer propped against the door, it aches and yearns for ease once more.
My hands, upon my lap now laid, a sense of gentle leisure made,
As if a phantom coachman's hand, now guides me through this pleasant land.

Yet deem me not a sluggard, no! For country lanes, my spirits glow.
There, horsepower bursts, a joyful sound, as limits fade, and freedom's found.
But motorways, though smooth and wide, for quiet contemplation ride;
Lest points accrue, and fines descend, and liberty should swiftly end.

That’s really very good, thanks.

Did you type that under conditions of Blue Cruise?

I received 6.14 back in February but didn't get the watch tab on the entertainment screen to watch YouTube. Pleased to say that with the help of a very nice lady at the CRC and numerous Ford techs I have finally got the YouTube link. Thanks to all concerned.

Just received 10.2.0 on my ‘21 AWD ER. Not had a chance to see if 1PD is any different yet.

 

[Trekkie101]

Nice - parity with the US must be real soon!

 

[Trekkie101]

BlueCruise soon for me!

 

[MuckyMach-e]

BlueCruise soon for me!

I never received that update before I got the BlueCruise update. Wonder why only some vehicles need that update? Fingers crossed BC come soon for you. I love it.

I think I FDRSd beyond or to BlueCruise but I never got it activated that way. So I think it’s a very small update to change the configuration.

Got SYNC-24.2.1.6.2 yesterday!

Quite a large download. However now I'm impatiently waiting on Connected Services to offer me BlueCruise, which it seems in no rush to do.

Out of curiosity - what does anyone else's Sync version show inside the car on the about sync screen?

What did they do out of curiosity? I don't have the watch tab either and would be interested to know, if you do?

 

[Trekkie101]

I waited a week from getting the BlueCruise SYNC update / and nothing was in the app to activate.

Raised a ticket with the Ford EV team and 2 days later it has appeared and is now active.

So hopefully tomorrow I can try it out!

 

[Trekkie101]

So BlueCruise itself is very cool in action - however it really does need lane change added. We need a higher version.

Secondly it just dies north of Perth for me, because the M90 becomes the A90 but identical set of lanes. So for an hour from Perth to Aberdeen it does nothing - despite it being capable of.

I would hope Ford may add some A roads now that it’s widely available and massively boost the miles that it could be driven on, and save me the boredom of holding the wheel for a straight road for an hour.

They had to download some data from the car and then it appeared, presumably they did an OTA update or something.
