Alexa and Connected Services today

My 22 450 sync 4 screen showed the Alexa blue circle today. Truck has not been on wifi since December. Checked Ford Pass app and there were two messages. Free Alexa for 3 years and free AT&T service for one month. That's how the Alexa got into my sync 4. Called Ford and confirmed this info and asked how much Alexa would cost after the 3 year term.....$800.00 for 3 years. Not sure how it could be worth that much. Both will go away after the free trial if not renewed.

They tried to stick that alexa crap on mine, and I called and raised hell, got it taken off.
Don't have alexa at home, have zero use for it in my truck.
Now, they could give me free at&t wifi and I'd take that every time.

Love my Alexa in my truck. I pay, 5 dollars a month, or maybe 10 for the service. Worth it for me.

Surprised that there was no comments regarding other members receiving a these changes from Ford. Anyone else get these free additions lately?

Alexa is great. Makes it easy to navigate while driving. No way they will charge $800 for 3 years. That makes no sense at all.
