Bluecruise version 1.4 upgrade to 1.5

[Black Label]

Maybe, but in 2025 US Tesla owners received an average of 111 OTA updates, with 12 of them being major updates. If 10% of those are "do-overs" I'd gladly take that over the reality of life as a Lincoln owner.

Don't read into my comment that I am defending Lincoln here. I have been outspoken that OTA updates have been a huge disappointment.

Ironically, I got the update a few days ago for the TCU improvement. First update since March.

I look at OTAs as Lincoln's battery drain exercise On hybrids even a pretty simple one like the DDM update I got last week take a noticeable toll on the battery Voltage/State of Charge. This is with a new as of end of 2025 battery that I've made sure to keep above 12.4V via driving or putting on a charger when it gets close to that point.

They hybrid is more directly effected due to the significantly smaller 12v battery. It will take a lot less time to deplete and will fail after soo many hard discharges.
The non-hybrid suffers the same issues but it can go longer before the battery fails.

The OTA updates seem to often cause modules to hang and drain the battery. I have only had a few successful updates before it will either start failing updates or just stop reporting available updates. If a module isn't sleeping then you will start to see the car go into battery saver mode.
