New Startup Animation on Mach-E GT Display After Software Update

[silverelan]

I've been looking forward to this! I think it was on one of @Mach-E VLOG videos that I saw the new animation and it's cool to see that it's coming our way.

I don’t believe there’s such a thing as a “job 1 GT”. Pretty sure GTs didn’t appear until Job 2.

That is correct.

Not sure if this has been posted yet, but my Mach E GT received the Alexa update and I’ve noticed a new startup animation that shows the GT instead of the Select grille with slots in it.
Maybe this has always been there?? But I don’t think so.

You are correct that the startup video has changed! It is nice indeed that the grill now matches for my GT-PE. I also like that the yellow-gold spark goes well with my Cyber Orange livery!

Do the non-GTs keep the non-GT grill in their startup animations though?

Is it not hilarious that we get so excited here about new startup animations in our updates while Tesla owners get dancing light sequences, new video games, and improved autonomous driving?

YES! This should have been this way from the beginning!!! We also should have options on the start up animation.

Eh. I have no interest in dancing lights, nor car video games.

And Tesla does not offer any autonomous driving.

It seemed more orange the one time I drove after the update, glad to know I'm not going crazy

I have the same one since new, just like this in wifes select rwd

Please define “autonomous driving”
(I’m going to duck out for some popcorn … this will be entertaining)

The only thing that I want that tesla has is their charging network and their lack of a 5 second throttle limit. However the tesla advantages cant make up for the tesla ugly.


Ford wins

Ok, ok, ok… I was loose with my terminology! Nobody has true autonomous driving, and yes Tesla plays fast and loose with its marketing of its “FSD” too.

My original comment was not meant to bash my car, or even to express envy for features of another car. My comment was just expressing I found it funny that, as an owner of the Mach-E over the past year, I’ve been conditioned to expect so little of the software updates that even the change in startup animation gets me excited.

All good! I’ve caught myself making overgenralizations more times than I can count
And wait until you see my happy dance on the day the remote frunk release finally arrives! I’m sure the Ford Engineer who develops that code will win the Henry Ford Engineer of the Year award (or whatever they call it at Ford) for developing something that is apparently SO intricate that, over 2 years on, it has not been released yet

Pack it up boys, someone mentioned T*sla on a forum thread. Beyond here be arguments.

It is true there are a lot of Tesla haters here, but I admire what Musk built. They were pioneers.

Now I fear they may be outmatched by companies so much bigger than them, not in market capitalization, but in capacity and capabilities. It would be a shame to see them overcome by the legacy car companies. I hope that doesn't happen. Just like I am rooting for Lucid and Rivian, I am rooting for Tesla to succeed.
