So, just got 2.7.4. Reading in here the delays to 2.8.1, I should be getting blue cruise not before I leave on a 2200 mile trip in a week, but just after I return.
wonderful
I just checked with Mr. Murphy and he says you're correct.

holy crap. the app says 2.8.2 will take 1,145 minutes to update, or, in English, 19 hours.

That...is something.

Yeah it should be 145 minutes, I've been seeing it actually takes much less than that, maybe 30-45 mins for some, but who knows.

Blue Cruise is nothing more than your car is ability to drive in a straight line without your hands. It is a very light version of other cars driving systems in unless you're playing patty cake I don't see the point of it the other safety issue with blue Cruise is it tends to put your car to the far right of the lane which in some cases can cause close calls due to the fact that other people tend to veer in their lanes while they're driving on their own and you could end up in an accident this has been discussed I think in other areas of this form it's not worth the subscription fee it's completely useless. Yes I own a GT and I've used it several times and found it to be completely useless
I think my car might be defective since blue cruise works even when not in a straight line.

I got 2.8.2 yesterday as well with notification of activation but still don't see handsfree selection in settings. Is there anything else I need to do to activate? Shows it activated in Ford.com as well

For me, it just started working once I started cruise control on a blue cruise highway... I think 2.8.3 is the update that makes the settings show up. I got that the next day..

Installed 2.7.4 on 5/31. No updates or attempts at updates since.

Starting to wonder whether I will get BC before I trade the car in ~1.5mo. I'm not complaining, but it would be funny if Ford could build a car with BC before they could update one. :)

I think it ended up being 3 weeks between 2.7.4 and 2.8.1 so there is hope still.

Thanks, I know I'm getting messages to keep my eyes on the road so parts of it appears to be ready

I think that is 2.8.1, that's when I started getting that message. I've heard some people with 2.8.2 still had issues, something to do with the map expiration date..
