6.14.0 Software Update just installed

[thenew3]

6.14 installed on my 2021 Job 1 this past Saturday. Now I have a # of weird issues.
Dash shows 1 mph when car is parked(with parking brake set).
The whole system is extremely sluggish. When I start the car, the display in front of the driver takes about 5-10 seconds to load. When going into revers and click on the panoramic view nothing happens for 20-30 seconds.

Selecting things in the center display takes 5-10 seconds when it used to be 1-2 seconds at most.

Have rebooted the sync system a few times. Doesn't seem to help.

Observed today while driving/accelerating up a hill. The battery started at 59% by the time I reach the top of the hill about a mile later, it was at 62%. Some how it gained 3% while accelerating up a hill. (normally during that same stretch, I lose 1-2 % of battery charge).

Can the 2021s not do it using the door keypad?

Can the 2021s not do it using the door keypad?

My 2021 could not operate the frunk in any way except the manual handle inside the car.
After installing the update I can use the app as well as the keypad. I've been nagging Ford about this for 3-years.
I should probably note that my 2021 is a Job-1.

Can the 2021s not do it using the door keypad?

2021 Job1 cars had the electronic release disabled since day 1 due to the software not having been approved for the initial release of the MME. There have been releases of the necessary software available for direct installation into the cars for about a year using the FDRS software, but the OTA update of the requisite modules and reconfiguration of the center screen didn’t happen until recently. ??

Just got this today. Seems great, but I have one issue with it. In combining USB and Bluetooth, when I play music using USB there is no longer a little button next to the album art that shows you the album it came from, the folder it's in, who wrote the song, etc.

I realize most people probably don't pay attention to this or probably don't even use USB to listen to music, but I fill in that metadata on my music files and really like having it available on the screen whenever I want to access it. I don't understand why they would take that out. It doesn't seem like it would be a problem for anybody for it to be there. I used the message button to express my displeasure to Ford.

I tapped all over the screen and opened up the one button that is still there, but that is still only device information and re-indexing the USB drive. There seems to be no other way to see this information and it's really disappointing that it's gone.

If I'm missing something, someone please let me know!

I agree! Got my "downgrade" on July 18, 2021 and am very annoyed that I no longer have access to the metadata. I depended on having access to it in order to keep my digital archive accurate and up to date. And I also cannot find this "message" button in order to give feedback. Also, the number of songs on the USB drive seems to be missing as well. Furthermore, the artwork displayed larger when pushing the "i" button. Now we only see it smaller. Not good, Ford.
