Anyone move from a Tesla Model X to a Lightning?

Our 2023 Model X has been a roller coaster and seriously considering trading it in for a Lightning Platinum.

What's the experience been like for those who moved over from a Model X? One major complaint that seems to come up is the infotainment complared to Tesla, and how it's rather slow. Is it that bad, especially coming from a Tesla? Also, how has range been on the Lightning compared to the Model X?

You'll very much miss the Tesla software. Unless you really need a truck, I would do it.

Anyone miss Sentry Mode or the built in dashcam?

Coming from a Model 3 and my wife currently owns a Model Y, YES.

I own a 2020 Model X and a 2022 lightning lariat; the lightning is my daily driver. It's comfortable and secure. The model X has so many nuances. The X is in the garage but pulling it out of the garage (in the winter) is often accompanied by condensation in the pillar cameras. Condesation of the pillar cameras causes the autopilot to shut down but my local Tesla service center says that the remedy is preheating the cabin with defrost on full mode. Putting four or five people in the lariat is much less complicated than putting four people in the model x - the falcon wing doors just do not reliably raise all the way up for passengers to comfortably enter the rear seat. There are many more annoyances with the Model X (I really liked my 2015 Model S) but I've come to resent Musk, who heralded climate conern and sold out to a climate change denier occupying 1600 Pennsylvania Ave! Go with the Lightning if those are your choices.

Politics shouldn't be living rent free in your head no matter what you're driving. Are you aware of Fords shady past?
