Yeah, especially over USB....and I imagine the USB controller on this isn't the latest and greatest so it is probably pretty slow. My 2.11 update only took about 30 minutes, but either way I am just glad we don't have to go to the dealer to get updates now. Great process improvement on their part.

wlepse Posted November 11, 2011 Report Share Posted November 11, 2011 Great process improvement on their part. And cost savings. I am sure Ford Corp doesn't pay the $112 and hour the dealer would charge me but even if it is only $30/hr for 1/2hr by a few hundred thousand vehicles and it makes sense to figure out another distribution route.

I don't think it was "hands on". It looked like they just reported on the press release. #FAIL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looked like they just reported on the press release. #FAIL It was a true hands on, just not an in-depth one. Engadget also reported on the original press release. So, no #FAIL.

cal3thousand Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 Hopefully this 45 minute update process can be changed to a more environment friendly method that doesn't require idling a half-gallon of gasoline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
