So I contacted the dealer, who has been very forthcoming about information. he said unfortunately they will not be doing the OTA updates prior to me taking possession of the car. He shared with me the pre-purchase checklist, which I posted further up in the thread which list the dealership requirements by ford prior to releasing the car to me. Updates are not part of the list. He also told me typically the car should be ready to go the same day or the next day, but will depend on my availability.
Just curious on this, but are the OTA updates something you can do at home rather quickly? Or is it required that Ford dealerships complete this only and you would have to take the car in. Any reason why you need the latest update prior to taking ownership of the car?

I asked the question because I knew that the dealership can use a computer to update the car faster than it would with my homes wifi, but unless something goes wrong, OTA (over the air) updates should get installed wirelessly. I just was hoping to have a car delivered with all updates already installed, so would have to worry about only newer updates post delivery date.

I would not worry as there have been no really important updates since the HVJB one and our cars will have the newer HVJB and all the fixes before that.. Curious if we will have YouTube, but considering I only use the games and such once or twice every few months that is not that important to me..

My dealer says my car shows as "at junction point". Am I to assume that is Mo?

Why is it some people on Ford chat can get you all kinds of info on your order, but others have no clue!
