Updates beyond 2.4.5…

[JCHLi]

Evaluation. The escalator should begin again soon. Once updates start back up, make sure your car is set with a time to update each day and make sure you drive at least 30 minutes a day. Also, watch for the "update now" opportunities.

Those of us at 2.4.1 should see the escalator start running for us, too.

Only one problem...

I am getting darn tired of walking out to the car every 30 minutes to see if there is a new update available so I can post “First!” ?

Something none of us peons will never have to worry about.
As a “runner” it’s a feeling I’m very used to. I’ve heard rumors that there’s actually a tape across the finish line that the first person to finish a race breaks through - I’ll never see such a thing. Same with BlueCruise. I expect the next person to get my car to be the lucky one to get the final update for BlueCruise ????

You missed a few… 2.5.1.1, 2.5.1.1.2, 47.9.1, 2.5.1.2.117, etc

I think some of those are IP addresses.

make sure you drive at least 30 minutes a day

What is the significance of the 30 minutes? Enough time for it to call home and be told there is an update?

Well, in 24 days they'll have again missed the promised installation of BlueCruise. About to do my 3rd long trip without it. Pissed off now.

And this surprises you? ? If you were counting on BlueCruise, I have some real estate in Florida I’d like to show you. Bring wading boots ?

Something like that.

I'll take that bet. Easy money.

And what alternate universe do you live in? Or have you been doing a lot of recreational substances? ?

Mine is still on 2.4.1. I think this guy is approving the updates at Ford.

Reposted, I know.

Nah, he’s moving too quickly and efficiently ?

Update Addiction problem? You can get help, call the Update Hotline at 867-5309. Get the help you need. Jenny is waiting for your call.

I called. She wanted my VIN and Dealer. She said she’d look into it from her end and get back to me. ????

47.9.1 was for Infinite Blue cars only. Sorry. ?‍

Wait - I’m an infinite blue and I didn’t get 47.9.1!

And are we also supposed to rub our stomach and pat our heads? Stand on one foot while spinning plates on both hands? Maybe Ford should poach someone from Apple and try to look at how they distribute software?
Oh, wait … nevermind ?

My daily commute is 45 minutes each way. ?

Well, I’m screwed. My daily commute from home to Starbucks and back is ~ 5 minutes each way and I’ve been holding off returning to the office until I get BlueCruise ?

Shall we sign you up for the "install it even if it bricks my car" team?

Remember, Darren Palmer promised us that would be “impossible” on the webcast because they use an ABA (not an ABBA unless you’re a Dancing Queen) strategy. Actually, if they’ve implemented ABA correctly, it really should be very difficult to “brick” the car. During initialization checks, if there’s something wrong, you mark the bank bad, fail to the other bank, then rewrite the failed bank from nonvolatile storage (or request a download again). I’m oversimplifying this a whole lot.

I won my age group twice. Once when every runner except myself and one other ran the wrong course. Cause they didn’t read the route. It’s the only time following instructions actually paid off. The only time.

The other time was when I was the only person in the age group.

There’s a BlueCruise analogy in there somewhere.

Exactly.

I fail to see the problem. Drive to Starbucks and back. 6 times.

Well, see, there’s this annoying little thing that keeps interfering with my days. It’s called “work”. I’ve got to do something about that. It keeps getting in the way of all the important things in life. ?
