You'll probably want to put your truck on a battery charger for a long update like that.

when i started the download, it said this update will take 3 hours... can see any of these coming OTA if it take that long..

I get automatic updates. There was one a few days ago that 'extended the expiration date" of something, and another a few weeks ago that improved the owner's manual. The mechanism works in my case at least.

And there is always an email about the update.

Yesterday I got 6.2.0 "Small Adjustments" A small adjustments so your vehicle can prepare for future updates.

Yea, it's the second of the latest GWM updates that were released not too long ago. It gives our truck the same GWM software that the Mach E's have. This is part of the reason why it is believed that BC 1.3 is coming to our trucks sooner than later.

I just got 6.2.0 and do not have BC!

You will still get this update even without BC. Totally normal.

I am glad/maybe lucky that my job 1 2021 has been clicking right along with the update schedule.
