04/04/22 Build Week Chat

I forgot to ask....how did you do this!?

Pulled the flares off, took to get painted by a local body shop, then reinstalled. Having the flares removed made the overlapping of PPF on the front fenders easier to install (when the flares were removed and being painted).

I did not get her back in time for my trip to Arizona. She is getting the final fixes this week because the shop missed one area of minor damage that needs to be fixed. I expect to have her back on Monday.

Sally is back home and in perfect condition once again. Got the software update this morning, so I'm ready to drive to Palm Springs this week. It is so nice having her back. Driving an ICE was not so much fun, especially when it is a rental.

Tried DCFC yesterday for the first time!
Went from 55% to 80% in about 15 minutes. I didn't need to charge, but figured that was a perfect time to try it out, especially with the free EA charging credits.

Its fun, I used it all of the time prior to the recall scare.

I'll be saying goodbye to this special build week group soon. My original mach e that I ordered 1/6 got built this week and shipped today. Now the fun of tracking begins. Need to try DCFC and 1 pedal driving in the month left before selling this RR. Joining the IBSM soon if all goes well. By far, this was the best active group ?

Anybody in our group get any OTA's yet (like the Recall software update)? I saw on my SYNC screen this morning a checkmark and pressed on it-- but all it did was take me to the main OTA screen where it said I was up to date (and no info on any actual update being applied). Strange...

Nothing in FordPass indicating any update was applied either...

I saw the same icon, too. This morning, I clicked it and it took me to the update page, then it said I had to fix a connectivity setting (no clue why), and then it said "update successful" without any explanation anywhere.

I didn't get the connectivity setting thing but otherwise similar behavior. It was the first time I have ever noticed any sort of OTA icon in SYNC (up top, by the silly Alexa icon and the car and profile buttons). If I recall correctly, you got the Recall Software installed at the dealer? So maybe this is a different minor OTA, or just a sign something will be coming soon... Or just a fluke.

No clue, but yes, a little checkmark/down arrow icon next to the Alexa one. I have no idea what update(s) were installed; it's not in the car, nor in the Ford Pass App, or on my vehicle dashboard in my Ford account.

Same thing for me with no details. I have an appt Monday 8/15 at dealer for recall software fix

No checkmark, no download icon, no progress. I want this software recall installed!!!

At this point, I'd call a dealer. I was in and out in under an hour while they ran the update(s).
