That's exactly what they're doing, after a couple of years of fit's & hold's I see a lot of traffic on the updates threads.

Some of these updates are dependent on priors, though not all are dependent, eventually all model years should be on a level operational field, and at some point we will be ready for the major update to Blue Cruise.
Fingers crossed. I love this truck! Just want the software to be up to date.

FWIW: I got my 6.5.0 installed at my 1a set-time. Iā€™m excited to see how quickly I can get 6.8.0. Iā€˜ve been getting updates on the regular here lately. Maybe Ford has cleaned up the code with an update so these OTAs are more stable so they feel confident in pushing them faster out to more vehicles.

Headed out jazz band rehearsal and when I pulled in to park got the notice this was ready to install. Since rehearsals last 2 hours, and the notice said vehicle would be inhibited for 12 minutes, I chose to install now. When I got out of rehearsal installation had completed successfully.

2023 Lightning XLT w/Max Tow and TT Packs
Just got 6.4 a few days ago on my September 23 build XLT. Waiting with baited breath for 6.5. šŸ˜ Hoping I'm not jinxing myself, but after months of no updates, I've gotten three recently.

Just get me the state of charge on the dash and I'm golden.

This...when I had my Tesla for 3 years, I never used the GOM, just had battery percentage showing on the dash. Took all range anxiety away and gave a more accurate representation of battery state. I want the same in my Lightning. Just waiting for the state of charge to be on the left hand of the dash. A fat piece of electrical tape will be going right where the stupid GOM range is displayed, never to be seen again.i wish Ford would give me the option to hide the GOM and show battery state of charge only, just like my Teslas have had forever

6.5 installed here too. 23 Pro made in Oct

Update: started the truck after the update this morning, available power dropped to 64%. In the lifetime of the truck, itā€™s never been below 100

Update 2: let sit for a couple hours (off) everything normal, power back up to 100 all seems good :)

Installed 6.5.0 last night. Let my truck sit overnight before driving it. Didnā€™t have any issues with the front motor.

Does anyone know what update typically comes after this one?

Was reading 6.8 should be next- in some cases the next day? Not for me yet
