BlueCruise 1.3 announced, coming to Lightning by end of the year

[tommolog]

@tommolog posted an interview with the Ford public charging chief who said definitively that the adapter wouldn't be free. The clip you posted sure sounds like Farley thinks we're getting them for free.

I confirmed with multiple Ford reps, the adapter will not be free.

BC 1.2/3 update news has been slim.... are we all still waiting for an update to the '22's?

BC updates are done across many OTAs, most of which were the 6.x series. Most 22's should be up around 6.8 plus a few priority updates by now, but to my knowledge, no Lightning has gotten whatever the "final" BC 1.4 update will be yet (aka the one that actually turns on 1.4 features). Supposedly it will be early in the 7.x series.

F-150 Lightning owners with BlueCruise will have to wait a little longer, but Omari promises they’ll have it by the end of the year."

Omari promised, so I’m 100% confident we will have it by the end of the year.

What bums me out is I'm driving close to 3,500 miles over the next month for work and while regular blue cruise is fine, having all the promised improvements would have been great. Knowing my luck I'll be all done and settled in at my new location and that's when 1.4 gets pushed out.

Wonder why so many folks are laughing off the 800$ a year for a subscription?

We just picked up a Lincoln Nautilus today and it comes with BC 1.3. The lane changing feature is such a big deal to me. We really need to get this update for our Lightnings. BTW the Nautilus is awesome.

Yeah, real bummer we thought this was coming last year and here we are in May. At this point let’s hope it comes in 2024.

Give the NHTSA investigations (which I think are a bit overblown from what I have read about them), this will be either delayed significantly or pushed ahead with some kind of capability limitation to address the concerns..

Because if memory is what It used to be, and I could be wrong, thought ford in ‘22 mentioned it was going to be $300/yr.

but now it’s on internet, so it must be true.

Is there a way to know what version of Blue Cruise we have?

If your truck does not have the feature where it changes lanes on its own, then you have 1.0.

So, there are Lightnings with the lane change feature already?

Yep. 2024 trucks have 1.3 and there are some people who have manually updated to 1.3 via FDRS.
