I just got 6.1.0 a couple days ago! No idea how Ford’s upgrade plan works.
Nor do we ..... LOL, welcome to the club!

Also received 6.4.0 yesterday (forgot to check my app until this morning, and it doesn't send me notifications and nothing popped up on the truck's screen when I ran an errand this morning). I didn't notice a change in anything, but I was on the way to a doctor's appt., so was focused on driving. Will monkey with it later.

Definitely getting updates regularly now; last one was the 9th, so no specific day or pattern than I can discern. Still, glad they're coming out fast and furious now. :)

Update: took a break from work and checked some things...didn't see much in the way of differences. CarPlay has been playing nice lately, though, so I won't complain about that (other than Audible changing their interface, and that's not Ford's fault).

I will add that I got the revised 6.2.0 last week and now 6.4.0, so 6.3.0 was skipped altogether. Excited to see what's next!

*looks for a "box of chocolates" gif*... :D

If you refresh the Ford Pass app the description should come back.

I got this update (6.4) while in the middle of my first road trip—actually while I was at a fast charger. I’ve never gotten an update while at home with fast internet. Only randomly while driving!
anyway, i only noticed that my auto fold mirrors stopped working and the app that lets you see “where your power is going” is gone! Yes, it was a little basic, but it was kind of interesting to see how my energy was being used. Anyone else notice this?

Yup, it's happened a couple times on the fly, and one of my updates also occurred while DC fast charging, I don't recall which update it was, but the IPC blanked out for a few seconds then everything returned to normal

Sticking with my 1 update per week on Thursdays I received 6.4.0 last night. Par for the course, wireless Android Auto connection failed on my first drive post-update and fixed on subsequent drive.

Are you referring to the Power Distribution under MyView in the Instrument Panel?
Ford F-150 Lightning Power-Up OTA 6.4.0 - Smart Changes: Refinements to improve connectivity 1710514474389-

If so, MyView got reset and you need to go in to MyView Settings and re-enable that screen. It happens to me - it always re-enables Brake Coach on these updates.

Actually, no. I used to have a separate app on the center screen. I can’t remember what it was called, but it specifically showed “where is my power going?” And it would show the driving, accessories, heating, cooling in a graph with their corresponding kw. It was pretty basic. Always wished it was more granular. But now it‘s gone! Poof!

That's the Trips app (used to be called Trip Energy). Will show those details for Trip 1, Trip 2, or This Trip. Should be able to select this app on the Sync Apps screen.

Somebody or some department at Ford knows when powerups will be applied to each truck. Wouldn't it be nice if it showed in the FordPass app when you could expect an update? Mine currently says it's up to date when this is clearly not the case.

It would end all the speculation and voodoo on how to get an update installed. The current method is ridiculous. It really does nothing to enhance the customer experience.

Hey now! Finally a member of 6.4.0 club! Went for lunch and I guess it installed while we were driving there. Got 6.2.0 and 6.2.0 a few days ago. Now to figure out if 6.4.0 did anything! Really happy to get the apple maps ev routing with 6.2.0. Still not seeing the charge level on cluster yet though...

I got my 23' Lightning last November. I'm only on Power-Up 4.2.3.1. Am I just stuck at this point?
