Yeah, Just got this one too. This the first one for my 2025 Mach-E.

These release notes. I wonder what Ford thinks owners will understand when they mention Central Computer. Or even Body Control Module or Gateway Module, for that matter. I personally understand what they mean by BCM and GWM, but Central Computer?!

I bet most would assume it's the giant display in the center stack. Or maybe it's a Ford OTA update service on the Internet, at Azure or IBM or whatever. I assume they mean the GWM which is more or less a router. But why mix terms then?

As a vehicle owner, I do appreciate having more detailed release notes. But please, @Ford Motor Company, don't dumb them down in this way. Be consistent with terminology and maybe tell us a little more about what was broken that's now fixed.

Yes. When I look up the OTA history, the former ECG-xxx updates were all GWM related.

I assume this is only for 2025s.

ford probably goes off the assumption that most drivers don’t care about stuff like that. They’re not gonna write them for the few nerds who actually want to know.

I got two back-to-back updates on my 2025 Premium, RWD, Extended range today.

Same here. Got both notifications yesterday. Manually ran the update. Can’t believe @Ford Motor Company doesn’t know about ReadOnlyFridays. I also wish they’d share more details for us tech nerds.
2025 Mach-e Premium AWD Ext.

My first update since purchasing in July.

So what does it say about the Power Up update “Smart Changes here and there” when you click “read more”? Does it have a number etc?

It’s an IT/Developer joke that you don’t push production updates on Fridays in case something goes wrong.

Nope. That's all I got.

WHY DOESNT MY 2023 GTX NEED THESE UPDATES? Is my POWER UP OK? Update I really want is the one that you can pay for that makes the car run faster!! I, just last week, beat an ICE Porsche off the line by 3 car lengths!! He still had his brand-new-car temp plates! He wasn't happy!!

So, after installing this update, I drove 600+ miles this past weekend. I noticed some things:

I don't often get to use Blue Cruise, but I did for about 30% of this trip. I noticed the "watch the road" warning demand was now happening at a more reasonable interval than when I bought the car at the beginning of July. I believe the update did reduce the alerting frequency.

Also, while using the "regular" adaptive cruise, I noticed the "keep your hands on the wheel" alert was also happening at a more reasonable interval. That was a big one for me, as I often am driving long, straight, boring roads. It's very annoying to have to jerk the wheel every 30 seconds while going straight.

Also, I believe that Ford changed the layout/graphics of the Blue Cruise screen, but I'm not sure if I have a pre-update photo for comparison. I'll have to check my phone sometime.

I had some other observations, but it was literally 3 am on Sunday while I was driving when I noticed it, so I can't recall exactly right now.

Or, sometimes they're just boring updates? Ha
