BlueCruise - Will it or won't it be fully installed and operational by 3/31/22 11:59:59PM EDT?

[RickMachE]

This is the definitive poll for BlueCruise. Or not.

Update: as of 2PM on 3/10/22:

68 out of 142 responses are from people without BC that think it won't happen by end of Q1.
16 out of 142 responses think it's funny that anyone thinks Ford can make a deadline.

That's 84 out of 142, or 59.2% of respondents. Yikes!

A paltry 16 out of 142 think they will have BC by end of Q1. That's a paltry 11.3% of respondents.

31 already have it and are gloating.

@RickMachE My car was built in November of 2020. Is this a job 0 car? Lol

Vote with Job 1.

I'm just going to put this here

Yeah, if they let me order Co-Pilot 360/Active 2.0 without the glass roof I would have just for grins. Since it’s not something I would use all of the time, the forced bundle saved me a little money. Even though my car isn’t eligible, I feel that the poor folks who have Job 1 cars won’t get BC before the end of Q1. ?

Is "BlueCruise" a synonym for "hands free driving", or there is something else to it?
I'm an odd duck with job 2 premium car and with hands free not enabled, and still can't decide if I want to do anything about it.

Yes, it's handsfree.

All you should need to do is turn it on on the website. It's free for 3 years.

I'll be happy to be able to update the car again before the end of March, much less having BlueCruise enabled

Yes, it's handsfree.

I didn’t even have to do that. It was just enabled when I picked it up. Are there some job 2 cars where that isn’t the case?

Yes. When the car comes from the factory, BlueCruise is not activated. Once services are activated, it starts the 3 year clock.

I test drove a brand new one, and it did not have BC turned on because they didn't want to "spend" a buyer's 3 years.

Job 1 car, in Early Access, with Comfort/Tech package. No BlueCruise. No BlueCruise early access.

By the looks of it, no one has gotten early access BlueCruise yet beyond an email saying they would along with some pre-updates. If even Early Access BlueCruise hasn't started, I have ZERO faith it will be released this quarter. I believe this will make it officially a year delay since they first delayed it to Q3 2021.

 

[RickMachE]

I agree. I do hope they're not striving for getting it installed in some Early Access vehicles, then they can claim they met their deadline. If it's not operational in all pre-2022 vehicles that are equipped for it by 3/31/22 (absent a few for mechanical / user issues), then the deadline was blown.

Of course all I care about is that it's operational in my car

 

[JoeDimwit]

I am waiting for the second round of OTA updates to start coming. I believe I will have BlueCruise enabled by the end of the month.

I have an early Job 1 car, and am enrolled in the early access program for BlueCruise, along with the advanced diagnostics program. I did get 4 updates in 8 days, but it has been almost a week since the last one.

Define fully installed and operational.

Pushed to everyone?

Available to everyone?

Pushed to all members of the Early Access program?

Pushed or available to some members of the EarlyAccess program?

Pushed to some members of the general Job 1 mach-e cars not in Early Access?

There's always one...

This is a car-specific poll. Totally self-centered. Me, me, me, not we, we, we.
