Been another month. How we looking?

As others have said here, it's a small thing but annoying at literally every startup.
And I'll add - honestly ruining the good experience I was having with Ford after being away for ~2 decades, it literally is the experience we are having just about every time we drive our trucks....

I hate saying this, but the number of people who buy F-150 Lightnings is so small that if an even smaller percentage of those buyers decided to not buy a Ford again, it really wouldn't matter much to them.

You are right, a small percentage of those buyers wouldn't equate to hardly anything in itself - but this isn't a vacuum; Don't think so small - people talk - garage beers - 10x rule - User experience speaks a lot these days, especially to half of the 'millennial attitude' type owners.

In the end, I don't think it makes much, if any difference posting these things on a forum – but we can band together, or against....

Voting with your wallet works. Most recently, the pricing for Microsoft Gamepass was reduced back down to previous levels after an almost 50% price hike in some regions. Mass cancellations, myself included, probably hit their bottom line and they figured it would be better to get something rather than nothing.

UPDATE: The fix for this was planned for SU 11 release but has been pushed out to SU 12 with no specific date, but SU 12 updates should start coming out around Q3/Q4 2026.

So, all that does is tell us not to expect anything until at least Q3/Q4, and if history is any indicator, it probably will be in 2027+.

An even smaller percentage that cares whether the return to sport pop-up is there.
Mine would stay on sport if they'd let it. My personal feeling about this is they should program it to stay on last user input. No default.

Ford will not care much about our feedback (which seems to be a waste of time) until lower priced higher grade and quality (and without stupid glitches and regressions) Chinese EVs somehow flood US market, but it will be too late then.

In the end it was the government that forced the reversion. If they allowed it then I'd blame Ford. This is one of those things that have been a topic for so long that i doubt anything will change unfortunately.
