There have been no OTA's for GT or GTPE's yet. Any car built after mid July is coming with the same or newer software than is in the OTA's.
It will come with all the latest from the factory. I took delivery a little over a month ago. I have all of the features that some earlier builds are still waiting for: the energy use/regen bar, expanded Apple CarPlay on the display, my PAAK has worked flawlessly, etc.
Oh, my new GT has the energy use bar. If PAAK is working flawlessly I may have to set it up now. I assume that fordpass would then show the buttons to open the windows and such?
There are new updates already. They release them often. As of now the updates won't be anything measurable to you though so don't worry about it. Dealer will not update for free unless you have a problem they think will be fixed by an update.
Based on my experience with my First Edition, I serioulsy doubt there will be any OTA for the GT for many months, and I doubt we will see the increased battery percentage at all. I hope I'm wrong, but the uneven trickle of updates so far was very disappointing. If recent build shipping with updated software since the summer, there is no good reason that we shouldn't be able to access them on demand. To me, the OTA feature is the weakest link in this model. I think they are way too timid with it, and seem to not understand the importance of it to the customer. Then again, maybe the average customer could care less.
It should. I have buttons in FordPass for the windows for sure.
Some MMEs now have the charge and battery improvements, so I am optimistic we can get them applied to the GT as well. I agree it may never come through a OTA, but I bet we can do it with FORScan or by going to the dealer and having them do the necessary updates. If the dealer does it, we may have to pay. But I am willing to pay for it.
In my experience, the only way to normally get the dealers to cover the update is if they think it might fix a bug or problem that you are having. Then they can get paid by Ford.
