CTOnews.com8: Ford unveiled a special edition of the Mustang Mach-E GT Twister at the 2022 Chengdu Auto Show on August 26. At the same time, Ford Electric vehicle Division announced that Ford will upgrade to Qualcomm Snapdragon SA8155P chip free of charge for existing or about to buy Ford Electric Horse.

Ford said the free upgrade aims to bring a better smart cockpit experience to consumers through a stronger computing platform and continuous software optimization of OTA. Compared with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 820A chip equipped in cash, the CPU computing power of Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 chip increases 3 times, and the GPU computing power increases 5 times.

The free upgrade is really good, and the news has attracted many users' likes as soon as it is released. However, some car owners found that although this upgrade is free, it needs to "pull people's heads." According to Ford's official Mini Program chip upgrade page, if electric horse users want to upgrade the chip for free, they should invite at least five friends to sign up for Ford Electric Horse member (Mini Program / APP) and recommend one friend to complete the test drive.

According to Pacific Automotive, Ford Electric Horse customer Service said that even if users book the Ford Electric Horse after the launch of the event, they still need to complete the task of "pulling the head" before they can upgrade to the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 chip for free.

Prior to this, Polar Krypton has also announced that Qualcomm Snapdragon 820A chip will be upgraded to Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 chip for free. Among them, delivered users can make upgrade appointments through polar krypton App from August 1, and undelivered and newly ordered users will be upgraded directly when they leave the factory. Polar krypton CEO an Conghui said that polar krypton invested more than 300 million yuan for this upgrade.

However, compared to the free upgrade chip chosen by Polar Krypton to fulfill its promise, Ford Electric Horse temporarily decided to give away a gift package, so Ford Electric Horse allows users to upgrade for free by "pulling people's heads", which is more of a marketing method.
