PowerUp-2.4.2 going out

[JamieGeek]

After receiving that Ford e-mail (and some implications on here from vairous people) about software updates I set an update schedule to see if I would get updates any faster (just set the schedule to 11pm every day).

Tonight coming home from a drive I get the update icon on the screen. Pressing it shows "You have an update scheduled" with 3 options "Update Now" "Reschedule" "Cancel". So of course I hit "Update Now". I'm then instructed to turn off the car and exit. The screen then shows a coutdown to update.

Of course nothing ever goes right with a Mach-E right? Almost immediately after the coutdown expires I get a Ford Pass notification that the update didn't work. So I try it again several times (I'm up to 4 right now LOL):

Inside the car:

Then this after turning off the car and exiting:

At that point I walked back into the house because, hey its working now....

Nope! Shortly after that I got another "We recently tried" event. Funny thing about these, however, is that I can go back out in the car and have it retry again--this will be my 5th attempt after I hit post LOL.

oh nice, that must be the update that had some reviewers saying the GT's brakes felt more matured or refined compared to job 1.

Wow, that’s a pretty substantive update to change brake feel. Glad to see Ford is confident enough to do that.

I wonder what module(s) that targets. I don’t see anything in FDRS yet.

 

[JamieGeek]

Well I don't know..I've hit "Update Now" 5 times now and its tried 5 times now.

Doesn't get past "Preparing Update"

Here is the countdown screen:

Going to let the car go to sleep before trying again (in about 30-40 minutes).

Can you try doing a touch screen update after the next failure? Maybe something is hung up and that will clear it.

Touch screen update? You mean reboot? (If yes reboot I did try that in between attempts 4 and 5 LOL)

Sorry ya, I had update on the brain lol

Update: No update here LOL

I keep varying different conditions and trying again (one thing at a time).

Maybe make sure it is connected to WiFi and plug it in to charge?

Assuming you've already tried, but did you plug it in? Maybe take it for a ride and then try again. ?‍

I think a voodoo ritual might be just the thing to trigger it. Or trigger something. Anyone have an Elon doll? Forward it to @JamieGeek .

Yup tried it plugged in, tried it unplugged, etc.

I got the update icon on the screen after returning home from a drive but that might be a good idea.

Took a drive: No joy LOL.

Next attempt: put the schedule back in and let it do it via the schedule.
