Blue Cruise one-time purchase help needed

[fvineyard]

There is a rumor on Reddit that in the future the one-time option will also be available in the Ford Pass app. That is unverified and claimed by a supposed Ford or dealership employee which is also unverified.

Not sure what limitations will be present regarding years and models. We shall see...

I was able to purchase this at the time of sale for my 2024 Flash. The finance guy is who I spoke to (the guy who tries to sell you all kinds of garbage addons that are pure profit for the stealership). He was able to add it with no issues.

Maybe I need to call the finance guy instead of my salesman. That is an idea.

Thanks!

When I was looking at 24 Flash models, 2 of them already had a $2100. Option for bluecruise on the window sticker.
Wasn't interested and went for the free 3 month trial.

Now looking forward. 2100 is $700.+ annually and the loss of 3 free months.

Can't we buy it now for $50.00 a month or $500 annually.

Why would you spend more upfront when you can add it cheaper and as needed later?

What am I missing?

That is a valid point. It is the principal for me and I prefer to not support the recurring subscription model if there is another option. The one-time payment option is better (for me) in my mind since I do like and want the bluecruise feature to be active.

I recognize that it would in fact be less expensive to choose your suggestion.

I have the same position for other features that may possibly come in the future. Dog Mode for example - charge me once for the feature and not monthly please. This is how I will express my position to Ford.

Considering that the 2022 F150L are the beta testers of the group, I wonder if we might get some discounts... lol. Yea we did get 3 years, but it still would be nice. As long as we get 1.5+ during a OTA too...

Half way through my 3 year "free" plan and this pops up...90 day trial. "Learn more" goes to dead end too.

I got that yesterday as well. My Platinum came with (as part of the MSRP, not free) a 3 year subscription. When I look at connected services, all looks fine. But like you, I got that message that leads to nowhere.

@Timeless Epoch and @strmwzrd, check out this thread for information on how to extend your subscription by a year for free.

Edit: for 2023 and 2024 models. Sorry if I got your hopes up.

When I got into my truck today, it had a message that it had applied an update. When I clicked the details, it was the same ECG update it applied last week. Not sure if it’s related or coincidence.

Wow, it worked. Thanks.
