Return to Sport not returning

[arielultra]

I filed complaint with NTSA as well. Ford management is shortsighted, lacks accountability and could care less unless fined by government. I am surprised how they had enough brains to promote the Lightning in the first place.

Also filed, this is just ridiculous, would be nice if they fix not just the bug, but just leaving it in Sport mode.

Can someone explain what sport mode does? I tried it early on when I first bought my truck and have used it since. Honestly forgot about it. I didn’t see a significant change in performance.

Profile of the accelerator and regen braking are more aggressive.

Also, you bring up another item, Regen Braking. I saw a thread on disuse of the brakes and rotor corrosion. The comments were confusing. I love One Pedal and use it full time. When I hit the brakes while in One Pedal, does it use the brakes or does it make the Regen Braking more aggressive? I can’t believe I’m asking this question but that’s how confusing the comments were in that thread.

I believe it's still all inductive reactance with the EDM, the motor controller adjusts the field interference.

OK so the confusion is starting again. When I hit the brakes, are they actually making the electric motors brake and bypassing the actually brakes? Then why does the "Brake Coach" give me a score less than 100 whenever i touch the brake while stopping? What i'm trying to figure out is, in order to use the actual brakes and avoid corrosion over time, do i need to switch off One Pedal or will using the brakes occasionally, while in One Pedal do the trick?

The car chooses to use friction or resistive brakes on it's own. In Fords, it doesn't matter if it's brake pedal or 1PD.

AFAIK, the only way to force the friction brakes to work is to demand a lot of stopping performance -- I usually get to 20-30mph on an empty residential road and hard stop. You can even feel (at least I can) when the brake pedal switches to friction brakes.

Two pedal drive, or aggressively pressing of the brake pedal while in 1PD will induce friction activity, hence less than 100% score.
