Default Vin check?

Hey all. Happy turkey day!
Favor/question to ask... The wife is looking at a Tesla. Trying to find a Carfax report without coughing up the cash. Anyone here have a Carfax account and could look?

I know many VIN requests are made in this thread for Ford related reasons. Forgive me if stepping out of line.

Please and thanks in advance!

Contact the Honda Dealership and ask them for a copy of the CarFax that confirms the 1 owner and no accidents claim.

Time for a dumb no computer guy question.

I've been getting updates frequently. Last updates that did anything special was the full screen carplay updates (?3.x.x) earlier this year.

Then I just for a 2.7.x update the other day. Looking back it seems that was released in 2022.....

Is Ford going back and playing catch up?

No, this 2.7.4 is a BCM update and the old 2.7.4 was for the IPC. It is unclear why they used an old revision number for a new unrelated update. Very silly, if you ask me.

I've tried installing this one all day today, it keeps failing due to the low battery charge, but the battery is good. I've tried keeping a battery charger on it, drove it a half hour a couple of times still no good. Ford customer service said I may have to take it to a dealer. It's one of those updates where you can't drive while it's updating. I'll be taking it in next week for a recall, if I can't get it installed by then I'll let them do it.

Oh, that's a new one for our trucks. Please share your VIN so I can look at the update details in PTS. PM of you prefer to keep it private.

Have you tried resetting the BMS after charging the battery?

@rugedraw it's an OTA for the SCCM. Takes less than 10 minutes

@rugedraw My truck has been trying to update for the last week or so but I don't know if it's going through or not. I'm not getting the update notification the next morning. I've even tried forcing the update since it takes my truck down for 145 minutes. The sound settings have changed and the radio seems a lot quieter now so I believe something went through. Just not sure what. The truck has been on a 20 amp smart charger during the update with ample time to reach full charge before updates start. Any input is appreciated.

VIN 1FTFW1E87MFA52242

Yes I tried resetting the BMS, still no luck. At this point I've tried about 30 times to install this update. I still feel lucky, out of all the OTA updates I've received this is only my third one that the dealer will have to push through for me.
