For those interested in what comes next, possibly you will get:

6.5.0 https://www.f150lightningforum.com/...minor-adj-heated-wheel-dep-times.17555/page-8

6.8.0 https://www.f150lightningforum.com/...-ota-6-8-0-smart-changes-center-screen.17603/

Then miscellaneous updates

Note my signature has hyperlinks to each of the related threads.
Thanks! I was curious if anyone recently has had that cadence. I am not sure I have seen many users report 6.5.0 and 6.8.0 updates recently. Wasn’t sure if they were on hold or replaced by another update. I guess we’ll have to hang tight and see what gets divvied out to us, since it seems there are a number of us on the same cadence currently.

I agree 100%
I have had mine since mid March and it looks like I am on about the same schedule as yours and I think about the same vehicle (2023 Lariat)
I can’t remember if I got the Tesla one last night or the night before but within a day of yours!
They seem to be coming quicker now since the software stability (whatever that one was called )updating software came through-LOL

Although I have a hunch that the purchase of a certain pricey cable is in my future.
I feel like I wasted money on my cable. I installed everything available in FDRS for my truck but it still didn’t give me the SOC on the dash. Makes me think Ford has pulled it…

Someone is reporting a new update downloaded today.

Might be our next one to look for.

The '23 models did get a gateway OTA recently.....that the '22 models didn't get. This Sync update to the APIM might be the Sync 1122 that was supposed to come after that gateway update.

Can’t say for sure. But here is the list I’ve been going by. https://github.com/elmedico27/fordpowerup
Thanks for the link. I'd forgotten about it . hmm... knew, about 6.12 from other posts but, the github shows a 7.0 released in February the month before I got 6.4 (march) which is what still have. as many others have noted there is no rhyme or reason so I'm not obsessing over it.

Yes, but an ACM update is not worth $50, IMO.
Turns out to me a moot point as I woke up to a fordpass notification that it has been installed on my truck. Still may pick up a 2 day FDRS pass though to install any other updates pending in there for the truck :)

That particular IPC update is not showing for everyone for some reason.

Question for those that have received the Tesla update: did that update your navigation maps to show Tesla charging stations? I got the update, but my navigation still doesn't show Tesla stations!

7.0.0 was the BC 1.4 update and that was pulled almost immediately after it was released.

No, it does not add the stations to the navigation. It only allows for Plug & Charge to work at the Tesla superchargers

Yeah that OTA 7.x stuff was all EA related...it was to update a group of specific VINs to what they were calling BC 1.4 at the time. Those same VINs were sent OTAs recently to "upgrade" them to .....BC 1.3 😄.

Yes you read that right. They went from what was supposed to be 1.4 to what is now being called 1.3. 🤷‍♂️

Is it possible there were serious flaws detected in 1.4 that became apparent during final phases of beta? Given the umpteen variations of condition our trucks are in [NON UNIFORM] updates to 50,000 trucks, a particular variant caused serious issues and they rolled back to a 1.3?
