I also received this email, including the part about how they are monitoring the updates. I’m hopeful that this will resolve my 1.7.1 issue as well…

For those of you lucky enough to get the email, what does the status on earlyaccess.ford.com look like for your account?

Also, what did you set your update schedules to? I'm wondering if those who set it (by coincidence) between 8am-11pm ET got in to this round.

This is exciting! Hopefully they will run the updates for early access members for the next week and then make any necessary tweaks before pushing out to the general public on March 31st.
The clock is counting down but I'm still hopeful that we will get BlueCruise before the end of the quarter!

Please don't let us down @Ford Motor Company, you can do it!

I was wondering if anyone was talking about this or mentioned this. (I don't have bluecruise yet or the message). Is Ford still charging the $600 startup. Even with the delay on delivery? For those that have just started to get it.

You'll get the first year free.

EA, but no email yet..
Same here I’m in Early Access for Blue Cruise and nothing. Come on @Ford Motor Company ive owned the MME for over a year and this was promised when I bought the car. It’s time to deliver. I’m more than comfortable in being an early adopter that’s why I bought the MME when it just came out.

Honestly, I'm pretty encouraged by how quickly this final cluster of BC updates rolled out to the EA VIP once it started. Also pleasantly surprised that EA VIP round II is already underway. This year of missed deadlines has been frustrating, but at least there's been some tangible progress of late. Even with the delays, this is a huge milestone in terms of shipping OTAs, and bodes well for the future.

Now with that said, please hurry. I want my frunk button.

Glad to see you're all finally getting what you paid for ;). Though as a GTPE owner who's had BC enabled since October delivery, I would give BC a "meh" rating. It's there, it works as advertised, limited in availability and functionality. Even when it is available in my driving, I find myself just ignoring it and continuing on like a caveman using my own feet and hands. So really not useful to me personally. But then again I don't take this car on long, boring, highway cruises. I also have no desire for something like Tesla's FSD, but I'm sure others do.
I'm more excited that they're finally pushing out useful OTAs.

Ford just released two new videos on their YouTube channel about BlueCruise hands free driving, one for the F-150 and one for the Mach-E. I’m hopeful that this means the final updates will be coming soon!

I use the active lane centering every day on my commute and would greatly appreciate the hands free aspect of Blue Cruise for those slow traffic days.
