Yeah, same. Not sure what all the hysteria about the Lightnings cancellation is about actually. Cars get announced and cancelled all the time, for like... 100 years. Love the Lightning, but whether its actively sold or not, doesn't matter to me. Its not my human identity, its a pickup...

I don't think the resale value has much to do with the "cancellation". Resale values for these trucks cratered a long time ago.... My $82K 23 XLT ER had a trade in quoted of $41K quoted to me 6 months ago. Its a niche product that has a loyal following, but its not a volume product by any...

Incredibly rational and all true. Not sure where all the hysteria comes from regarding this announcement. Models get introduced and cancelled all the time from every automaker. I'm not insulted or hurt that the Lightning is cancelled. Also love our 23ER, but had also put a deposit on a Ram...

I had already put a deposit on a Ram Charger. Love the Lightning, but hate public charging with a passion, and we do get stung by it often enough that an onboard generator sounds fine to me. We do enjoy the EV driving experience, but am not religious about it either.... we also have several...

This whole affair is completely non sensical. I don't understand why the engineers at Ford think this is something that needs to even exist at all. Its convoluted, confusing and unnecessary. All winter, when we needed to charge our Lightning, I had to remember to deal with this. Mach E...

Update as of saturday 3/15. I received a replacement Pixel 9 Pro from google under warranty. Was not in "new unit" packaging, so I guess it was a refurb of some sort. Did the migration from the phone that was hanging constantly to the new one. So far, I've tested it in the Lightning with a...

Thanks all.... I did some more experimentation today. It happened with the Lightning on my drive to the office this morning and my drive this afternoon. It was completely hung for a portion of the drive this afternoon. Only the Android Auto part was hung, I was able to select the Ford Apps...

Thats a good idea. This happens less on the Mach E than on the Lightning, so part of my intuition is that there's something awry in the Lightning's media control plane, but I dunno My wife has a Pixel 8a and that works generally ok and doesn't freeze, although it doesn't connect wirelessly in...

Thanks Rick (as usual) I've done that several times, with numerous different cables (incl the OEM google one) and it does the same thing. Sometimes that makes it even worse.... Have tried a few different phones too. The Ford dealers aren't particularly adept at these subtle digital...

Not sure how to think about this problem. I might be the phone (Pixel 9 pro), but I'm not sure. The symptom is that the upper 70 of the screen, that displays Android Auto (maps, toolbar, media, etc) is hung most of the time. Occasionally, I can regain control, but in general, the screen is...

Thanks Tman! I my case this frigid morning, I had only heated for 1 cycle. When I went to push the extend button, I got the failure message. And it then failed every other time I tried to run another cycle. I just never understand why they put these goofy artificial limits in the...

Jumping in on this thread. Today, its 8 degrees in the balmy northeast, a perfect day to pre heat up the lightning so I can excavate it from the snowfall, then drive it all warmed up. While I appreciate that Ford has given us on-demand remote heat control, instead of the abysmal scheduling...

Thanks everyone. Funny, I've owned the Lightning for more than 2 years, and not once did I have this issue until now. I never even knew there was a "charging app", as I generally ignore the Ford software at all costs as it seems to do more harm than good most of the time. Lord only knows...

Thanks.. But I can't even find the 1 time charge limit setting. It wasn't visible in the FP app while charging, and I simply can't find the Charging part of Sync.

Well, got a rude surprise today, when we went to public charging, plugged in, and the charger decided to stop charging the car at what it thought was 100%. The truck decided that 90% is the new target charge. So I'm missing a solid 50 miles of range that I actually need to get to where we're...
