Same here, I've gotten updates 5/17, 5/18, 5/23, 5/25, and 6/1, currently on 2.7.4.

2.8.1 finally just installed today (11/17) after failing on 6/18/22.

2.8.1 today as well.

Just received 2.8.1 on Nov 17th, funny because I finally broke down and made an appointment with the Dealer last week to get Blue Cruise installed - appt is 2nd week of December, I am wondering how long it takes to go from 2.8.1 to 2.8.2 which I have heard is the final installation for Blue Cruise?

There seems to be no rhyme or reason to the timing. Some have reported multiple updates in rapid fire succession. As frequently as daily.
The numbering of the updates has changed so many times I'm not sure if the next one is the final BC installation. I sure hope so.

I’ll believe it when I see it looking forward to the day I join the club.

Build date 2/5/21. I got 2.8.1 on the 18th. Waiting for the next one to get BC.

Hi All I received two messages on the Ford App this weekend, 1). That Blue Cruise is delivered and Product Improvement 21G01 is now complete for my car. 2). that my BlueCruise Hands-Free Driving 1 year complimentary subscription is started. I checked in my car - there is not an option for Hands-Free under the Cruise Control setting as shown in the Ford Videos on how to turn on Blue Cruise. I scrolled through all of the settings and can't seem to find it anywhere... does anybody have any tips?

UPDATE: I have the FORD CO-PILOT360 Active 2.0 Prep Package (2021 First Edition) confirmed on my window sticker. The Ford videos say to look under Cruise Control and select "Intelligent Cruise Control with Hand-Free Driving" but the video seemed generic, can anyone comment - is that where you found it on your Mach E?

I am not impressed with Blue Cruise. I have had it since day one, a year ago this month. The steering wanders too much and it kicks off too easily because it gets confused when I pass exits or the line in the road quits.

HI - Can you tell where Blue Cruise shows up in your menu? I would like to turn it on, but I am not finding how do that...

When in Cruise Control with lane centering engaged, and when the car determines that it can safely operate, it will come on automatically.

Good to Know! because the video shows this - but I am not seeing the "Hands Free" on my menu... I will drive on the freeway on the way home (It is all highlighted blue on the BC Map).

When it goes into Blue Cruise, you will see a large "HANDS FRRE" icon on the dash.

Your menu just says "Lane Centering" (with Hands Free) is missing?
Then you don't have Blue Cruise Hands Free yet.
Even if you see the "Lane Centering with Hands Free" choice, you STILL MIGHT NOT have BCHF. I had that choice on my screen for 4 months and BCHF didn't work. I had to go to the dealer and they had to contact someone at the Ford hotline (or help center etc) and they eventually said there was a software configuration error on Ford's end. Once they fixed that, then BCHF started working.

That is what I was worried about - I received both the confirmation message on FordPass and a notification that my complimentary subscription started on the 18th... It says Priority Update 22-PU0727-VI-FXB and Prod Improvement Program 21G01 are fully delivered... plus the separate notice that my subscription started...
