  1. Accelerating on braking?

    I think some on here should refrain from being jerks and calling people liars. I have driven EVs for years, and I know the difference in pedals. I asked my wife, and she said it did the same with her, but her Mach-e has never had this issue.
  2. Accelerating on braking?

    And I know I did not hit the accelerator. It is a lurching kind of acceleration. Stop and go. Over and over. Almost feels like some skidding going on too.
  3. Accelerating on braking?

    I have had this happen to me on at least four occasions. Just last night, I was coming down a slight incline and slowed to a stop sign. As I hit the brake, it accelerated into a major highway. I was very lucky that no oncoming traffic was around. The times I have noticed this was when it was...

    Finally got my Lightning home this week. Loving the truck. I have the XLT with the 311A package. The cruise control functions are not as robust as my wife's Mach-E or my form Kia EV6, but I like the vehicle better than both of those for smooth ride and functionality. I think the 2024 Flash...

    Yeah, I was just hoping to be in the ballpark. $12K difference in just over a month was a bit of a shock. Oh well, if it’s meant to be, I will figure it out. If not, there’s worse things in the world to worry about than a truck. Good luck to everyone else.

    Well, I got my “Complete Purchase” email this afternoon. Started talking with the dealership, and the truck will be onsite tomorrow. Unfortunately, the numbers are just not making sense to me. I have a 1.5 year old Kia EV6, and they are not willing to give me anything for it. I am just too...

    I got a Shipped notice this morning. Getting closer.

    This one stings. My truck is showing as built on 9/29, and I still have not gotten a shipped indicator. Now you are saying that @A039610 in Charlotte was delivered on a hot shot convoy, and my dealer is about an hour north of Charlotte. They could have just dropped mine off on their way. I...

    What kind of rate and terms did you find? Through a credit union? I have a prequalified rate from Capital One, but I’m not pleased with it. I have a Ford loan on my Mach-e, but it was two years ago. I found them easy to work with, but I’m not looking for a great rate on a greater than three...

    While that southbound train winds through western North Carolina, have it drop my Azure Gray XLT off. I’ve been waiting with BUILT since 9/29. I’m loving my color choice after seeing @Lucky26 photos.

    My “Built” email officially came last night. Estimated delivery date range is 10/9-10/15.

    Interesting what Ford is doing for EV customers. I just got a text message and had a chat about Welcome to the EV world. She wanted to know if I had questions about EV charging and such. Good to see how they are going the extra mile to educate and inform.

    OK. Someone talk me off the ledge. I see that all my codes are complete. I see my truck with an Activation button in the FordPass app. Everything looks to be complete. However, my status still shows as In Production with a last update of 9/20. Do I just need to step away from the computer...
