What I didn't like about it when testing was that it felt like a web app that was put into the UI. Didn't seem well integrated in that way and couldn't use while moving. Really should be part of the Navigation app and be seamless. Should also include the discounts that memberships provide for...
Based on the video, I wish Charge Assist was something designed to be more integrated with the UI. It comes off as a web browser view within the Sync system and just doesn't seem polished. Functional? Sure. But there really should be a better executed effort from the software side of things.
If not official, everything does point in the direction of BC 1.2 going to all vehicles. They raised the price of BC. They extended the 2021 BC free trial dates. It's still a 1.x version and not a 2.x. BC would flop significantly if they abandoned the 2021's. Based on their sales numbers, it'd...
I'm on the BlueOval EA charging plan currently, and when I went to the BlueOval page, it said I could activate the 3 year trial. Now my bar looks like this:
When I click on "Upgrade" it just does an error, maybe because I just activated or because it's wonky. But my description does mention...
Iād have no problem with B if they actually did A. But when it comes time to renew and Iām left with the same features as when I initially got it then thereās no point in mean giving them money. I want to give companies money for features and things I enjoy, but itās dumb to give them...
With the feature fragmenting they're doing on newer models with BC 1.2, it's frustrating more so than anything for older models. I also don't get why it's a subscription in the first place. When it's active, is it actually doing anything that needs a connection? I'd assume it downloads a map...
I guess thatās great for the used car market but by the time Iād reach 1000 or 2000+ cycles I personally probably wouldnāt have my vehicle anymore. As great as it is to have a vehicle that can update, being a tech person Iām also aware that every few years or so thereās going to be a major...
But do we really expect Ford to lower the price of the Mach-Es because of this? People keep saying cheaper, but how much cheaper, and will Ford actually lower prices or keep it the same? They've already mentioned they're losing money on each Mach-E.
Unless they change some things, this just...
I know the P&C part is not EA, but I was invited to the membership portion of BOCN. It cost $50 for the year. I was just listing exactly how I utilize it (because thatās what he asked) by just plugging it in and getting the discount thatās part of the membership.
It took years before CarPlay ended up actually being in vehicles people bought, and even longer for wireless CarPlay to be a thing. Iād be real surprised if Ford was actually an early adopter of this. Iād expect it to be more of a thing come 2025-2026 time frame. These types of big companies are...
