Just bought Ford CPO Lightning XLT keeps pausing charge

[abcut973]

I guess this was part of your learning experience with the truck. You got right into it without training wheels, out of the dealership's doors. So I can understand the frustration. But don't be discouraged for future road trips as the current EV infrastructure is way better than it was couple or more years ago. Now being able to use Tesla superchargers (with an adapter) gives you more flexibility. Fordpass plug & charge (blue oval network) allows you to use only one app for your charging session. Depending how often you need to DCFC you might not need to pay for a membership and use proprietary apps to get the discount. One additional apps you need is ABRP and/or plugshare for trip planning. In addition to Google maps that now integrate HVB SOC.
I hope you'll enjoy your purchase for years to come.

Ive had some learning curve with my used 23 lightning. Mostly knowledge based. But no technical issues. My truck is in shop getting the full system software update and some other updates. I had to press dealership to get warranty approval. My big issue was phone connectivity was horrible. Switching back and forth.

please update as you find solution.

and, see if you can get the big software update.

I’m going to bite the bullet and get the factory extended service contract. $5000. Yikes! Because everything should last for 300,000 miles. But all components are crazy expensive. Like you I really enjoy my truck.

A lot of us have phone connectivity glitches, plenty of threads about it, some say the software update helped but did not eliminate the problem completely. If it is any consolation, many other car brands have issues to - our 2015 Toyota Prius and on of our kids Subarus as well have issue with the BlueTooth.

I gave up trying to stream music to my Lightning with BlueTooth - many many drop-outs and disconnects - and now I use either an FM transmitter between the streaming and the FM radio, or a direct connection of a thumb drive or SSD (formatted in exFAT) with music files on it to the USB data port.

No trouble streaming at all only with my Apple phone. Today I got the truck back and they’ve done all these different updates. I should take a picture of it because it’s all initials and acronyms and it means nothing to me. But on my first first phone call the people on the other end were telling me they couldn’t hear me, but I have proven out that it’s not a bad signal where I was. And my Alexa and my Siri are gone.

Good luck getting it all working correctly, I don't have the patience to cope with buggy software.
I can live without AI telling me what to do, lol.
