Ford PowerUp 3.1.1, 3.2.1, and 3.3.1 (Update)

[MachEnthusiast]

What is the technical difference between Job 1 and Job 2 cars that they can't have the same features?

Funny answers only.

Anyone get this update yet? This is the first update I’ve received since getting my 2022 Mach E Premium in March. I couldn’t find anything online regarding this update. Hoping for recall update soon!

Are you in early access?

A physical button for traction control.

It hasn't been mentioned in months now. I'd say if an update doesn't appear by the end of the year for the frunk release, it's dead. Jimrpa may have to buy a newer model to reach nirvana.

EDIT: Emma Bergg mentioned it is coming this fall:

Sadly, I’m inclined to agree with this assessment. The silence isn’t making things look good for this feature.

This particular OTA will be the first one where I’ll turn auto updates off and refuse to install. I do not want Alexa in my car for any reason whatsoever. It won’t get installed until and unless I know it can immediately be removed. Even if that means never installing a subsequent (and perhaps unlikely) frunk update.

Actually, at this point, I’ve pretty much resigned myself to the fact that 2021 Job 1s will not get a remote opening frunk and I’m stuck until I tech refresh the vehicle (MY 24 or MY 25) with whatever is next (definitely not the F150L - won’t fit in my garage and way out of my price range!)

I tweeted at Jim Farley about it. Everyone with a Job 1 that wants the remote release should also.

What is his twitter username?

Oh - PR flack. Paid big bucks to say anything to shut us up.

My 2022 just got 3.1.1 (at least per Ford.com, haven't been out to the car). I am in EA, but thought it was only for the intelligent range.

There will be a major update in October and another in March for all Mach-Es.

Edit - car shows no update. FordPass doesn't tell me I have an update. Ford.com, by doing Inspect, Network, Reload, shows the update.

Edit - app now shows the update.

By the way gang, the reason why I’m so whiny about this is because all the components are literally IN THE VEHICLE! They’ve been there from day one. The external emergency frunk release wouldn’t work without them! Ford has had the code for this since 2021 Job 2 and while they’ve been screwing around with critical product enhancements like Blocks and now Alexa, they apparently have not spent a second of time on this. Some people have had Job 1 cars for 1.5 years now. Sheesh.

She’s actually been very helpful to people with dealer issues, I trust her. It’s also nice she replied at all.

Still waiting for BC....

Yeah, it’s crazy it’s taking so long, but I wouldn’t say they’ve been screwing around with games, it’s not like the same person who works on the frunk release makes the blocks game.

Looks like they’ve still got 50k to roll out to

You’re right - my response was a bit grumpy. Unlike brand T, ford does have a PR department AND ford HAS tried to positively engage with customers…
