Looks like I’m on the same schedule as you, just got my Tesla today and 6.4 a few days ago…
Same here; I've been getting updates every few days now. I just got the Telsa P&C update today.

To me, it is obvious that Ford was having issues either with updates being pushed to the trucks or breaking something in the trucks. I guess the third option is that there were higher priority software issues that they needed to get fixed before getting the updates pushed out. In any case, I am glad to have gotten an update almost every other day (minus the weekends) for the last two weeks. I got the Tesla P&C yesterday.

That doesn't explain why myself and a few others haven't had an update in 9-12 months. We know the updates are available per FDRS, a majority of owners have gotten them without issue, so why not us? Hopefully @jhawkbear's upcoming service appointment can provide the template for a path forward. Although I have a hunch that the purchase of a certain pricey cable is in my future.

If they suspect they are going to break your truck doing an update it might explain it. Or one of the updates corrupted something that then kept you from getting more OTA updates. That seems likely also since 3 of the updates I recently received said they were to make communication or the installation of updates more reliable (or something to that effect). We are all speculating since Ford has been mute about the OTA issues.

My Update cycle followed this sequence - I got the Tesla update today. Curious now when I will get 6.8 and above for the SPC % on the Dashboard (Non Calm screen). Does anyone know and/or have thoughts on what update is next in line?

There was that initial 6.8 release that some people that were already up to date received. Then it seems like they stopped that update, and it's been dormant since. I don't think anyone has reported receiving it OTA after that initial release was stopped. Seems like some trucks that were far behind are getting updates fast now to get them caught up, but there's a big wave of us stuck right before the 6.8 release now.

I have the same truck and for about the same number of days...received 4.2.1.1 and then 4.2.1.2 about a week ago...who did you pay off to get so many updates consistently?

Same question. Does anyone know the next update after 6.4 at the moment? I got pretty much the same series as @mrau (though starting slightly later as I got my first update in April as I bought in March). But I sit at 6.4 with the Tesla update. Curious what update I should even expect next (hopefully one with the SoC on the instrument cluster). I’m sure someone recently got something beyond 6.4.

I had the OTA team open a case, and I have an appointment to drop the truck off at the dealership this afternoon. So we’ll see what they will actually do for me.
No word from the dealership today. I’ll stay optimistic and hope that they spent the day applying all of the updates for me.

I got the Tesla P&C update today and it appears I am on the same schedule as mrau. Updates are coming in groups of three.
