I've got the same situation. Car says March, but online account says 2024. In any case, I haven't had the opportunity to try it yet.

I got to try it this past weekend and it's a bit eerie but it is really cool tech. I have to go to HQ for work tomorrow, so I'll get a good 200 miles each way on BC freeways to test it out

There is a phrase on the bottom of the page in MyAccount that says "To disable Ford BlueCruise, go to your in-vehicle Connectivity Settings.", but I didn't see anything directly related to BlueCruise, so I wonder that maybe I don't have something enabled that should.

Finally got it done! I didn't expect the sparkle in the Start White to be so visible on the hood while driving. Just one step away from a Lisa Frank Trapper Keeper (if you don't know what that is, don't tell me. You'll just make me feel old.)

Holy cow, they did ALL the software updates, I got my frunk button and Blue Cruise works. Definitely not grumpy now!

Ok, rookie question and I didn’t want to start a new thread. I had to go out of town for work so I’m public charging right now for the first time ever. I didn’t realize until 26 minutes passed that I went to a 150kwh charger. I’m currently at 66%. Is it worth disconnecting and plugging into the 350kwh two spots down?

short answer - no. Mache-e can't pull more than ~120 kW, so extra capacity of 350 charger isn't going to be used.

BTW, feeling stupid (but still happy) today. Figured out that I had to push the "lane keep assist" button on the left side of steering wheel to get the lane keep assist turned on. And to my amazement, the local highway I was on was BlueCruise enabled and BlueCruise also came on. Guess I should read the manual more closely.

Huh, mine was enabled by default. I just turned on cruise and it automatically switched to BlueCruise hands-free when it was available

BlueCruise is not mentioned in the manual.

BlueCruise is not mentioned in the manual.

Maybe I shouldn't feel so stupid then.

I have 750 miles so far and love everything about the car! It has met or exceeded expectations. Of course, after 7 months waiting for it I had time to temper those expectations given the troubles people have had, but having a later build with updated software, dividers removed from frunk, BC and PAAK working; what's there to complain about.

The final touch is that I sold my Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland 2wd with 98k miles for $20k to Carvana!!!!! Carvana beat the offers from KBB, Carmax, and Vroom. No hassle; they came and picked up the car and handed me a check.

Definitely, no longer grumpy for myself - for others, yeah, still grumpy!

I'm just now peeking inside this thread for the first time. I got a call from my dealer that my car was delivered, and I'm feeling a bit less grumpy and a bit more euphoric.
