Power-Up and Priority OTA History Thread (F-150, Lightning, Mach-E)

Well, la-di-f***ing-da. I have the email saying I am in. When I click the button to finalize enrollment, it tells me I am still waitlisted.

Weird. Maybe close browser/tabs try again?

I'm probably not the best candidate to be in EA anyway. When they try to send me something, I will 99% most likely already have it.

That's probably true for the majority of those participating in this thread?

@Snakebitten & @rugedraw .... FYI it does take a few days once they move your VIN from waitlist to EA program. After I finalized account, it takes awhile to show that your not waitlisted. Nothing was immediate at all, it took a couple of weeks before I got any updates. I am sure they want you to agree to their newest non-disclosure/confidentiality agreement quite a bit in advance.

I know there are different EA programs too, will be interested to see what ones you guys get into!

Regardless, Congrats guys!

Mine was instantaneous. I’ll mention when I actually get an update

Well, I would consider that an improvement then! If they opened it up to have more people then I would assume they either expanded sample size for current programs or have added new programs!

Tried a whole different browser and nothing. It's cool.....It's not a big deal to me. I almost feel like opting out of it tbh. I don't think I want them snooping my truck to see what I have on it. lol

Ooh… Let’s hope feedback is listened to…

just got my invite after about 18 months waiting too!

Not sure what could be out there for me to test. I am most likely ahead of anything EA as of last week….

I feel like the answer is no, but just wanted to double check since I saw this thread on the Mach-E forum (https://www.macheforum.com/site/threads/so-bc-1-4-has-been-in-fdrs-for-over-a-week-now.33226/)

Updates that allow BC 1.4 aren't in FDRS right? Feel like that would go counter to everything I've read recently (I'm up to speed on how it was started to be pushed OTA but quickly killed by Ford)

I got the invite today also, and it let me enroll.

The updates are in FDRS, but the FORScan changes needed to enable BC 1.4 are not public knowledge yet. Installing these updates will greatly improve existing BC performance, but it will not give you the new features associated with BC 1.4.

I just clicked the message again, and this time it switched from Waitlisted, to Invited.

Which rendered the Enroll button.

I was then welcomed by Mr. Farley himself, who said my opinion matters.

We shall see!

 

[Bo15]

Yep now says Invited. Clicked on enroll checked some boxes and now Enrolled!

I think it's interesting that you guys are finally getting Early Access Program invitations despite seeming like ideal candidates to have gotten in much sooner. I just checked my emails, and I got my invitation November 25, 2021, and have been in the program ever since.

Same. I am officially in Ford's EA program. I still think the forum EA program is better, but I digress.

Wish I could have gotten that paint color with the Platinum baby diesel truck!
