There is a huge assumption of success on Ford's side with this. It's a good model where they vet that the update will work with your exact configuration before making it available. The problem is they assume success that the truck was properly marked as sold (minimal updates to cars on the lot), they assume success that your truck "finds" the update during the window it's available, and they assume success on the Ford side that it installs once downloaded, and they cut you off from getting it again until the next "sweep". I really wish they'd adopt the apple model of showing us updates that are vetted for our hardware, and then allowing us to request the update and which puts us in line to download it from the server.AT LEAST let us "pull" whatever update is next. The push model is OK for vehicles that are current, but there's a ton of us who are on some super-relaxed schedule where it feels like it'll take months or years to get up to date.
There is a HUGE amount of testing that goes on with auto software. They test and vet each model and each configuration one at a time. It stands to reason that since the MME has been on the market longer, it would be first in line to be tested and passed for each update.What I don't understand is how the Mach-E gets updates months before we do. Good thing the actually hardware is better than the software.
