I agree 100%. I use CarPlay and Waze (because it's the best navigation app, in particular because it warns of accidents, police, fog, etc.). And I figure out on my own when and where I need to charge.
I'm taking Ford's word on this. Those of us who got a bad one have been notified. If I had not received a notification, I'd assume mine is ok. And I assume Ford will start shipping good ones starting 24 October. They will pay for us to ship the bad one back. As for buying one on the black...
Sorry to hear of you troubles. Very frustrating. I share the view of others in the thread that, once you get past all of this, you'll love the truck.

I've been buying -- and servicing -- vehicles at Bonnell since 1992. Great dealership that's been owned and operated by the same family for 99 years! Two of the service writers are Bonnell's. I got my 2022 ER Lariat there in June 2022.
