Where is my Acceleration

[smax64]

Don't know what happened, when I first got the truck it was super fast on take off, now it's half that. Used to be able to beat most sports cars off the line...

Thought it was one pedal so removed and turned truck on and off

Thought it's sports mode, switched and did on an off again.

Thought it maybe need to get launched, brake pedal on and hit accelerator.. nada

Anyone else seen this or know what us?

Hi there! I can look into your Lightning's acceleration concern on my end. To get started, could you please send a private message over with the name/location of your local Ford dealer and your Lightning's VIN?

Were you between 90% and 100% state of charge on your attempts? I've noticed lower than that on my SR I have less oopmh.

I think you just might be used to it now, drive a four banger for a month and then try the truck again.

Read your gauges. In cold weather you likely have less than 100% power until the battery warms up. Try a departure time while plugged in.

You probably also want to do some reading on your truck. The MODE you drive in isn't going to impact you launching the vehicle (if that's what floats your boat).

check power distribution screen to make sure both motors are being engaged.

This absolutely happens. I drove a loaner Ford Edge for a week and it suuuuucked. Soon as I had the truck back it felt amazing again.
