I didn't get an invite. They're probably aware that I'm not too fond of the MME Gelding Trim.

I received an invite and signed up. My erratic work schedule made it hard to get a time but I’m going to try and make one work. Hopefully I can provide some incite for them to help future iterations.

Don't get your hopes up: I bet this is another product group that's looking to charge an $800 per year subscription for a "performance" feature.

I actually WOULD pay that though.

Give me the full 562 hp and at least for 10 seconds (under warranty of course) and I’ll write check right now!

It would add zero more tq, just extending the tq for a few more seconds. It really isn’t asking that much.

We all would, but inadequate battery hardware design can't be changed through software.

If it’s under warranty, I don’t care about the hardware.

We have no clue if the hardware could handle the full 562 hp and for how long.

We do know that 5 seconds and 480 hp is NOT the actual limit. How? Because zero GTs have broken at that limit.

No invite for your friendly curly-haired canine. They probably don’t want a dog’s perspective anyhow. ??

Quick question:
I own a GTPE, but I'm definitely not surprised I didn't get an email. I'm bought the car used and am the second owner of the car. Does that definitively mean I'm disqualified from stuff like that, or is there any way to get my email address in Fords system?

Based on the title of the thread, I would guess that one would have needed to register for the Early Access program in order to be eligible for this survey. I am not registered for EA, so that is more than likely why I have not received the email (or maybe Ford doesn’t care for a canine’s opinions). ?‍♂?

Probably just register online and create a Ford.com account.

You can also try to register for early access program to be a Beta tester for OTA updates.

Bought my '22 GTPE new in December 2022.
Registered for Early Access and was put on wait list.
5 months later, not a peep from Ford. I'm not sure how they're managing EA, but they don't seem to be welcoming any new blood (or ideas, or opinions) into the program.

I've done this one other time regarding the Ford Streaming update. I can assure you its legit and they do send you the gift card at the end.
5 second massage at EVEnvy?

They probably have plenty of us Guinea pigs at the moment.

Being a beta tester isn’t that great really. You get the worst version of every update (most bugs).

Yeah. I've been a Beta tester before. I also do software development, implementation, and integration, and I let them know that.
That said, I thought I might bring a worthwhile perspective to the table, but maybe they don't want that.
