The email is so vague and seemed to me to basically be sent as a CYA message from their lawyers making sure you understood that some updates may cause you to not be able to drive or lock your car.

I wonder what most owners would think about it -- I bet most expect an OTA in the next day, but that's probably far from Ford's purpose in sending it.
My take on it too. This seems like a disclaimer coming from legal to make it harder to blame Ford if someone gets locked out while an update is going on.

Can confirm, my email is also working.

No hope that GTs will actually get any kind of OTA updates anytime soon though

I have my updates set for 01:00 but sometimes I’m on call and may have to drive emergently back to the hospital. The way I am reading this I should turn off all scheduled updates or I could be locked out if I got a call at one in the morning.
