Make Ford GREAT AGAINor...
How Ford's making sure quality is Job 1 once again
It's no secret Ford vehicle quality slipped in recent years, but management is ready to right the ship.www.cnet.com
I've got just the guy for them.
They probably didn't. Tesla doesn't do press loaners so they either had to rent or borrow it from a friend.

Apparently dealers are charging for updates not labeled recalls. And lol and behold some are defending this behavior??

Roflmao.., it's so sad.

Dealer wanted to charge me $1400 for updates!
Sheehy Ford, Gaitherburg, MD to be exact. They say because the updates aren't recalls. Does Tesla charge for updates like this? I wish I had know this before I bought the car. I'll likely not get another Ford. Not a good experience at all.

Anybody have a solution to get rid of the max 5sec power cut off
I wish it was just a 1 word answer but as you can see, it’s complicated. That said, you can hit about 80 mph in 5 seconds and unless it’s cold out, the limit will rarely show up or matter in normal driving. Meh. That’s good enough for me! lol

This is ridiculous. I don't understand though why isn't it a warranty-covered event of OTA update failure?Apparently dealers are charging for updates not labeled recalls. And lol and behold some are defending this behavior??

This ridonkulessness highlights the problem with the dealer network. Yea, they are updates, but not labeled recalls, so the dealer doesn't get paid. They're not OTA so owner has to go thru the dealer and the dealer wants to get paid to lift a finger and press update button. This is gonna be a clusterF in the future for the legacies who haven't sorted their support network out.
Since they aren't recalls the updates aren't done for free unless you can make a warranty claim. If they published the details of the updates you might be able to go through each one and open a service request stating that you are experiencing an issue from each update to get them covered by the warranty. (On a past ICE vehicle I went through all of the published TSBs near the end of the warranty and reviewed my car to see if it had any of the issues that I just hadn't noticed or thought would be covered. I got a few things fixed under warranty that I wouldn't have otherwise.)

Errr then they changed it b/c when I was looking Errr you had to. smh
It was "promised" that it would change...I'll take your Errr word that it did.
They also had "required maintenance services" that felt too much like my ICE BMW at the time...YMMV

Except you don’t on the new cars with iDrive 7 or later and you never had to go to the dealers to get an OTA update on those cars. They have OTA updates released every 4 months. But you keep on peddling incorrect information if that makes you happy.

Could be as simple as difference in services between UK and US?
Honestly have no idea. But I also don’t think anyone is being purposely dishonest about their experience. What would be the point? Yes, I’m naive too.
Can't we just all agree that BMW sucks no matter how their OTA works? If you have $$$ and hate T, get an EQS because BMW sucks and I would suggest Elon buys BMW and closes the brand. They are just a fascist motorbike company afterall.

‘While the 3 is a joy, the Y isn't.”
those journalists have prostituted themselves on the Ford altar….
Utter idiots.
Many MY owners used to own a Model 3.
You can find their thoughts on this forum.
None of them support the views of a “ car and driver”
ps …I have a friend with a Mach E and even he prefers the MY !
