Powerboost Engine Temp OTA Update
2023 Hybrid Powerboost Engine
OTA updated received last night
Obviously it's summer and 30+c temp outside & Engine Temp Icon seems warm
But truck does not run on any EV mode and suggests Engine Cold ... ?
Does not make sense at all.
Thoughts ?

If it's a PCM update you received, the truck needs to go through a temperature cycle before it will go into electric only mode again. For me it's take anywhere from 10-20 minutes of continuous driving to get it to operate normally again.

The software works great and has been ready for months. The problem is with the deployment of the software. It was first sent out to a few Mach E in the Early Access program in December and a few cars got bricked, so they stopped the roll-out. I've had BC 1.4 since December and it is a HUGE improvement over 1.0.

@rugedraw --- Thank you very much for this comment. Reading it I find myself feeling both good and bad. Good because there exists a BC 1.4 that is a huge improvement. Perhaps we will get it before too long Bad because December was a while back, an eternity for IT people, so that suggests that whatever went wrong is a complicated problem that's difficult to fix. But I remain optimistic.
Correction: The vehicles being upgraded to 1.3 are on 1.0, which is great news!

What's the difference between BC 1.2, 1.3, and 1.4?

The difference is stability and consistency. The lane change assist and other features not included in 1.0 come with all 3 newer versions. However, 1.4 is more stable than 1.2/1.3 in terms of not disengaging as much and keeping you in the center of the lane better.

Nobody knows what happened to 1.4. It is very strange.
