Did FoMoCo hire some Tesla OTA guys? The updates are flowing like they mean business. 6.5.0 two days ago, just got a notice for 6.8.0. 2023 L-ER built Oct 23.

Maybe those 20,000 updates that said different variations of “this update will make future updates easier” is finally actually coming to fruition hahaha

I'm getting them too, 23 xlt sr. Only had it a few months but am up to 6.8.0 now. Was beginning to wonder if I'd ever start to catch up to everyone.

Unfortunately my 6.8.0 update didnt come through. Instead I received a “Not Completed” status. Does anyone know when the truck will try to reinstall the update? I would love to know what happened but it seems like Javier doesnt have access anymore 😞

It will retry per your schedule until the package expires on the server, 7/14/30 days not 5/7/14 days.

Yes
Just got 6.5 as I pulled on the parking lot at work today. Installed successfully. Hoping to get 6.8 shortly.

Because I can't read 30 pages of comments, is there a list of what 6.5 and 6.8 actually do for functional or noticable changes?

I got it back. In your case, the update was canceled on Ford's side with no reason why provided. Nothing you did wrong.....this happens a lot.

You’ll get to see the battery charge percentage on the main page without going to the calm screen.

Same thing happened to me (not completed). It hasn't re-tried in the last few days. What does the 5/7/14 days mean? If it doesn't happen within this time period how long until does it wait to re-try?

TIA

OTA triggers have several time-related criteria they must meet before they time out and expire. Depending on which stage of the OTA process the update is in and whether the update requires the vehicle to be inhibited or not, the timer is 7/14/30 days that the update has to ping the server back and then download/install the update.

If the update fails completely, there is no set time frame as to when it will be resent. It could be days, weeks or months before it is resent.

Thanks a bunch for the great explanation!
