[sockmeister]

I love participating in that sort of thing. I hope they don't fill up the group before my car arrives.

Same, and this ad was perfectly placed, damn you ad....

The few can still provide the feedback of the masses from the forum though! Maybe you can report back some of the issues others are experiencing noting that you are not (or are) also experiencing them.

That was my plan.

Just got an email


You are among a very select group of owners/lessees invited to provide initial feedback to Ford Motor Company via the Connected Vehicle Data Drive Community!

This important customer collaboration project gives you access to two Over-the-Air vehicle software updates before anyone else as well as the ability to provide Ford with feedback on the update via two short surveys, approximately once a month. Ford is counting on you for your help with this initiative.

In appreciation for collaborating with Ford and supporting this very important initiative, you will receive a $20 Amazon e-gift card code via email after the first Over-the-Air update is complete on your vehicle and you complete the first of two surveys. In appreciation for your time, after the completion of the second Over-the-Air vehicle update and you’ve completed the second survey, you will receive an additional $20 Amazon e-gift card code via email.

To be a part of this very exciting project with Ford Motor Company, please click the link below to complete a short qualifying survey

I would love to participate! Lucky you!

I got this too. Given my 12v battery issue and the major updates required to get the MMe to properly function, I‘m not sure if I want this.

I definitely want to help, but I feel like my car is a fragile ecosystem, and any new update could undue what was recently fixed.....

It will either break it now or later when they send to everyone.

I signed up just now.

I'm a bit irritated that there isn't a way for EVERYONE to report the issues and general feedback, and they will be relying on a select few to make their voices heard. But it's a start, I guess.

Low key, I am excited to be a part of this.

That is all well and good as long as they ask the people that are having problems to take part as well. If the "select" few are the one who haven't had any issues then it is a waste of time and proves it is just a PR stunt

Thankfully, I've had problems (ironic, right?). So I will be reporting my issues, along with forum user issues.

I may or may not have been invited to this. I can't say. ?

 

[Jimrpa]

Sigh... is there a way for those of us who haven’t received our cars yet to VOLUNTEER to be guinea pigs? ?

The update will happen with or without your input. It would be a good idea with your background to participate in it.

You are already using that system. This forum is monitored. You really think those emails were random... lol...

Well that, and your car is constantly phoning home...

What's the email title?

"An Exclusive Opportunity from Ford Motor Company".

i received the email but am always skeptical about phishing emails. Can @hybrid2bev or @trutolife27 or someone confirm that it is legit? I started but there are a lot of questions. Just being my cautious self but would like to participate.

This sounds awesome.... but I checked my email and didn't get the invite. I love being in these beta programs. Not for the perk, but I think it is nice to see things early and provide useful feedback.

 

[TheVirtualTim]

Nice! Be sure to post screenshots and all details

Me thinks that would sort of violate the "NDA".
