I think the main concern is that super young startups like Rivian have already vastly eclipsed our technology feature set with much less experience and potentially less funding.To be fair, when I see posts like this similar to “BUT TESLA HAS IT,” I personally think it’s worth remembering that Tesla has been doing electric vehicles for more than a decade and has had plenty of time to tweak the software and add features. Ford is still trying to find its footing and to be honest, as bad as the OTAs are sometimes (cough—BlueCruise—cough), I think Ford has actually done a pretty fantastic job out of the gate with the first car in their lineup to do so. OTAs are not an easy thing to do, especially for something with as many different life-critical modules and components as a car has.
Do I want more out of Ford? Yes. Have I been satisfied with my OTAs and new features thus far? No. Do I understand and still think they’ve made a pretty damned good showing? Absolutely.
