Havenāt had this happen yet but Iām sure itās in the future.
Thanks for posting. Now if I can find this down the road when I need it remains to be seen!
I think part of the SW problem is that the app doesn't communicate with the truck reliably. This part of the app always reflected the same as the truck. My problem was with the app's charge % setting screens. That was no where near correct. App would be set for 80% but the truck still charged to...
Just saw predictions that the first ones will 350 mile batteries not be the 500 mlle range originally promised. Again at this point it's just rumors. Perhaps something will be released during the earning call on Wed.
Here's what Ford just sent me regarding always charging to 100%
Hello, Mr. Plummer,
Our Social Media team indicated that you need the steps to set your charge level in your F-150 Lightning. The steps are below:

It's % of battery. Charging to 100% of battery capacity is harmful to some battery types. Depends on the battery chemistry. The first widespread car battery chemistry was nickel cadmium cobalt and of course lithium. Most suppliers are out of the Congo in Africa and notorious for really bad child...
This has been so overhyped that I stopped even going to the CT website. Hope weāll finally get to see actual specs/features soon. I have a reservation but just got tired of waiting. At this point we still donāt know much e.g. price, range, drive train, basic features. Rivian and Ford have set...
Has anyone gone to their dealer and had this addressed?
My dealer appt is the 24th and itās specifically for my inability to charge to anything less than 100%. But it was this way before this update. Now even the truck āset one time max chargeā function doesnāt work anymore.
No one is saying that an occassional 100% charge hurts anything. The fact that we can't set anything below 100% for daily charging is a problem. This is not an iron phosphate battery (LFP). Ford wants to go to that next gen but right now we don't have a 100% daily charge friendly battery.

Why so many different numbered updates?In the Tesla world we have drasticly different vehicles that get updates based on things like motor type, FSD, different cameras, sensors etc. Doesn't seem like there would be that many variants in the Lightning world. Don't see why a22 Lariat would need a...
I want to believe Ford has too much at stake to let things get too far out of hand. Still early Tesla problems were crazy frustrating. Waiting for a new battery (even though it was free and given a loaner) was still a PIA! I was lucky when my 12v and main battery started having problems.
Got a...
Gotta wait until you get the details from Ford. Hope it's not down too long. Will they provide a loaner? Is that a dealer specific thing or provided at all dealers?
