Maybe. But, perhaps this is a clue on OKTB delay ... if there was a software issue and they needed to completely re-load, perhaps that reset everything. I guess we'll never know!
Possible loop hole fixed? Or will @Thor188 journeys connect again?
?
Unfortunately it sounds like your car is now behaving properly. Shame. We could have all watched it's journey real time!
As I understand it......you set all your custom settings remotely, in your phone. Then when you take delivery, you pair your phone to your car and the settings transfer over. It won't happen before then I don't think.
I was thinking the same thing. The odometer readings are another clue. If your theory is correct and OKTB is related to a software concern then it makes sense that some vehicles would be pulled from the lot and road tested to verify the patch or fix didn't cause any unintended drivability concerns. Since many cars in this group are supposed to be dealer demo cars.....there isn't really much concern putting on a few additional kilometers on the cars. They would likely have road tested dozens of vehicles and we are only aware of the 'lucky one' that showed up on the FordPass app. Presumably because the driver touched the "OK" button on the screen at the lucky moment where the owner attempted to connect.
Maybe we all have @Thor188 to thank for taking one for the team so they can get to the business of shipping cars. ?
Or they routinely do a master reset on them all before getting ready to ship, to clear anything left over from testing. Might even be a remote command they can broadcast to all of them OTA now.
Agreed. It would have been cool to follow along to see the process.
See the attachment in my previous post. I'll have to go back and read it again but I remember some language about one or two different settings these cars can be in during the shipping process. So your idea sounds fairly close to what actually happens.
All settings is not the case and you can set up an avatar (pic), your profile name, add charger locations, schedule daily charging times and set your driver mode (engaged etc.). The fordpass app does not allow you to remote setup until your vin is entered into the system or the vehicle logs on to the network I think. At least it did not work for me until a window sticker was available. No paperwork required from the dealer just a VIN.
From what we've seen, the actual list of what you can set up in advance is rather limited.
"The Henry Ford" is the new name for the Henry Ford Museum & Greenfield Village. It's pretty large and both the indoor museum and the outdoor village probably take about a day each to see everything. Your wife might actually enjoy the museum & village. So it's not like you'd do the whole trip over *just* to see an assembly plant tour.I think that after the pandemic is controlled and border reopen, I'll get my wife onto(into) the Pony and have a road trip tp Dearborn MI to visit this plant, well not so sure she will want to go visit a car plant.
I was curious to know where this is. I looked at the plant via satellite imagery and I see where they'd normally park the cars that are getting ready to load onto the train... but this was a much smaller loading area than I am used to seeing at most plants (the Rouge Plant where F-150's are made is much larger ... which many more loading ramps).
I decided my $1.49 wood stick snow brush was not meant for the MME so I got another one delivered today which is identical to the one on page 12 of the PDF; the scrapper is blue. Guessed right
. At 18" wide it is more of push broom like I use on the trucks when home.
Can I make a connection to the Satellite?
