it could be argued that WOPR lost in the movie as well given that it ultimately surrenders control back.
But wait....didn't WOPR get any OTA's???

Indiana Jones had no affect on the movie. If he wasn't there the Germans still would have got the Ark and died.

this is something that I've heard a few times and once you hear it, you realize that it's a huge hole in the movie that's impossible to ignore. ?

well, I guess it's good that the car is at the dealer right now, getting the glass recall work and replacement axle work done... ??

Despite the apocalyptic wording, that message isn't anything to worry about. It seems to get generated any time the DC/DC converter kicks on to top off the 12V battery when the car is parked and off plug. It's actually very common when the car is being worked on since they probably have the doors open with lights on all day. Ford really needs to change the wording of the alert.

I agree the wording is problematic if it's really "nothing"... in fact I really shouldn't be told at all in that case?

Right, if it's normal operation and the 12V charging system is working as designed, they really shouldn't be alerting us at all. If the DC/DC converter fails to kick in for some reason, it would make sense to alert the driver.

Funny thing is I got the message last night when I was plugged in:

good thing it's still at the dealer getting work done.

I suspect this is some kind of weird power-related thing.

If they're doing software updates, it's normal to get all kinds of random errors. As the modules reboot, they lose connection with other modules, which can trigger a lot of warnings. After they're all done, they should clear all the DTCs and everything should go back to normal.

thing is, I've had updates done before, and never had any weirdness. now I'm getting repeated weirdness from this pass. not sure what's going on there.

I wonder if that's really the case, that it's just "update weirdness", that maybe there should be an "update in progress" flag in FDRS that reports over to FordPass or something, something that basically says "ignore anything going on right now, we're busy over here".

I'm getting 2.4.3 OTA as I type this. I am not sure everything has been screenshotted, so here's some:

The update icon:

Ford Mustang Mach-E hey, I have a car! IMG_20220321_154549 cropped 1


update reminder if you tap on the icon:

Ford Mustang Mach-E hey, I have a car! IMG_20220321_154549 cropped 2


the update details in Settings:

Ford Mustang Mach-E hey, I have a car! IMG_20220321_154947


the Update Now confirmation - notice the warning about not being able to use the vehicle and about the alarm being disabled:

Ford Mustang Mach-E hey, I have a car! IMG_20220321_155116


the 2 minute warning:

Ford Mustang Mach-E hey, I have a car! IMG_20220321_155136 cropped


I went to go get the "in car" view but the update happened so quickly that I think I missed it. When I got in the car already showed the new IPC screens:

Ford Mustang Mach-E hey, I have a car! IMG_20220321_160331

that's at only about 7 minutes in. So.... let's see what happens when I go to drive it in about an hour.

2.4.4 installed successfully. I watched from inside the car this time. The main Sync screen showed progress. The IPC turned on the backlight at times, with only the parking brake indicator on, and sat at 100% for just long enough to scare me a bit. ? But it was successful - FordPass said so, the Android widget says so. So onward and upward.
