may the OTAs be forever in your favor
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...
so true, It is a known fact that some Tesla users that are first to accept updates suffer from unwanted issues. Although, I have to admit that Tesla is quick to fix them.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.....
Would love to have participated.Or it could be a good opportunity for you to have your voice heard by Ford.
I agree it could be scary to take "beta" software but I don't think they actually labeling it "beta" right?
The same reason I wait on Microsoft, Apple, and Android updates too. I've had a bricked iPad and an Android phone where my battery started draining like crazy after an update. They were all 5+ years ago, but I'm still a little gun-shy lololso true, It is a known fact that some Tesla users that are first to accept updates suffer from unwanted issues.

But it is also why the roll-out updates very slowly starting with a small number of people.
Please don't troll the forum.I declined the NDA so won't participate. Read the NDA terms carefully. It opens up the possibility of Ford invalidating the warranty on your car, and other penalties in exchange for your unpaid participation. The warranty is not something I am willing to risk given the many defects in my MME.

This looks more like a data mining exercise than a feature beta testing exercise. Also will Ford be responsible for any damage to the car due to defective software?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.

So you are saying Ford isn't responsible now for defective software? Cool.This looks more like a data mining exercise than a feature beta testing exercise. Also will Ford be responsible for any damage to the car due to defective software?
No, it is Ford offering a beta preview of stuff that has already been alpha tested. I doubt it has any self driving in it; probably more like refinements in infotainment, PAAK fixes, charging, etc.This looks more like a data mining exercise than a feature beta testing exercise. Also will Ford be responsible for any damage to the car due to defective software?
