Bluecruise subscription really expiring before 1.3 really delivered??

[hybrid2bev]

My $600 renewal that I setup in December shows that it processed. Now expiring in 2027.

Mine has a renewal option. One for monthly and the other for 3 years at $600 (job 1 2021).

Same here, but still waiting to see the charge appear on my credit card. I submitted the renewal around Dec 18th.

So far I have the renewal in place for 3 years and no charge on my credit card. That's a win-win. ?

Sorry if this has already been asked. I have a FE Job 1. Built Dec'20 delivered Feb '21 so I am also coming up on end of warranty, but that's another question. The FE came with all the bells and whistles and BC was activated I guess as part of the beta. If I don't renew it does anything else go away, like adaptive CC or 360? Are any of those things tied to the 3 yr 36k?

Me too for the 2027 expiration and no CC charge. I wonder if they're going to wait for BC 1.3 to roll out to people before they charge their CC since they promised 12/31/23.

My guess is it's because of the 14 day cancellation window. They won't have to issue a refund if they don't charge it.

I didn't renew becuase my wife has the Mach E, she doesn't use it and we are in the middle of a divorce. It now shows as not being active this morning

. Cost is $75 per month or $600 for 3 years.

I agree they are more accurate.

But there is no free lunch. Here, which supplies the maps, have to run their business somehow. If you want Google supplied maps built in, then money has to exchange hands. A lot of people would also be up in arms about it (justified or not), due to privacy. No matter what they do, there will be a pissed off, self-righteous group.

My point is, the value proposition for paid built in navigation is rather poor in 2024, especially when your source of data is glacially slow on providing updates. If Google was the data provider, I could maybe see paying to re-up the built in nav when it expires to take advantage of the charger/charging integration that it has. But with their current data provider, nope.

Good move if she gets custody of the Mach E.

What do people think about this fee VS the likelihood that the technology won't fail and cost a fortune to repair in the next 3 years?

I lost BC for close to 2 months this year. First was after an attempt from the dealer to fix the front camera error. He reset every piece of software and gave me the car back with some problems in some module versions that made BC stop working completely. Took it back a month later to fix. Then the camera really failed me 100% completely, had to take yet another appointment, and they finally did the coax cable fix.

That was all under warranty.. but that warranty is going away in May 2024 for me. Paying this fee, with the problems I faced under warranty? It feels risky! I don't know how much I would be willing to pay to repair these problems once the warranty expires.

Mine gives me 2 options - $75 per month or 3 year $600 option (Job 1 21 Premium EX). Guess that answers the question for now.

I agree, the current map data sucks. I've tried making updates with Here, but they don't seem to care.

Same here! Somehow I don't doubt they will take the money. You don't stay in business for 120 years by not taking the money...

[edited later on New Year's Day: the credit card charge just landed.]
