I actually think the feature is mostly fine how the changes have been made.
You are correct that DCFC does slow down at 80%. To me, though, a target charge for DCFC seems mostly pointless. Why would someone actually want it to stop before 80% via a target charge (without hitting the unlock...
If you are using BluePilot then you can adjust the Ford parameters in the settings on the device and that should help with hugging shoulders, ping ponging, and holding lanes during turns. Play with it on your next, relaxing, highway drive.
You'd probably want to use the BluePilot fork as the standard OpenPilot or SunnyPilot you use with the Escalade won't work as well with the Lightning and you will see things like hugging corners or ping ponging. BluePilot also allows you to fine tune all those parameters.

If you don't mind buying a used part (there are new ones too) compatible Homelink mirrors can be had for under $30 (at least it was when I got mine a year ago). All you need is to order the custom wire harness ($38 shipped) from Bob's Automotive for it and you're good to go for way less than...
Also, everyone is buying Flashes over the Lariats. Ford makes more margin on the Lariats. so you have to differentiate more. These changes, I would think, would balance the sales a little more between the two models.
Some quick math puts the range for the Flash and Pro ER at 298mi (assuming...
