Is this only available on the 2022 models thus far? I have a 2021 Job 1 and don't have it. I have seen Alexa demonstrated on the R1T and it seems super fast and responsive.

She spies on us in the house - do not need her spying on us in the car!

Alexa, when will my MME finally ship?

I refuse to get one for my house, and will try to disable her in my car if I can. Assuming they roll her out using an OTA.

I don’t believe it’s available yet, should be coming on the Lightning and then to us in a software update.

If it works as well as it does in the R1T, then I may actually use it?? Although, Siri in CarPlay is fine.

I despise everything about Amazon and I'm kind of pissed that I have to look at this Amazon logo at the top of my screen every day! I haven't found a way to disable it yet somebody says you can but I'm still looking!

I just installed the Ford+Alexa app for Android. I'll test it out on my commute home tonight and let you know how it goes.

Unfortunately Amazon Alexa is in my Mach-E right at the top of the screen everyday

When/if they roll Alexa out OTA, I hope to find out which update it is in ahead of time so that I know to decline that one. ??

Funny how most will love Alexa and some hate Her.....
I will always love Alexa bc she is my daughter's name way before AZ named their AI (Alexa)

The best option would be Siri integration through CarPlahy or improvements to the existing Ford voice assistant.

The enhanced Alexa integration was press release released, but that's it. Radio silence since...

I am pretty sure we will all get her with an OTA, so get ready. And I doubt we will have a choice if we want the other "improvements" that are part of that and future updates. Maybe I will just put a piece of black tape over the logo on the screen so I won't be so annoyed that it is there. As long as she is not turned on and listening, it will just be a minor annoyance.

Edit: maybe our friends @AOSK will make an Alexa cover to hide the logo! ?

It's not a matter of love or hate, I don't get why the icon has to be there whether you want it or not. It should be optional (and I would opt to remove it). It's amazing that Ford has hidden its own logo, yet puts Alexa right in front of your face, 100% of the time, whether you want it or not.
