@Ford Motor Company - you asked me via PM to work with a dealer first, which I have done. Can you help now?
Reach out to them by DM, they WILL NOT engage a public conversation about our issues.
Take note, they will facilitate technical teams communication with your dealer service team
That's as far as they go.

Hi. I did as a follow-up to our existing DM thread but they haven’t responded in a few days, hence my public ping :)

As a follow up, I went to a different dealer and sat in a 2024 lightning. Cold start. Started to feel heat in a minute. Warmth after 3 minutes and just fine (albeit not as toasty as the Mach-e) at 10 minutes. I recorded the entire experience. Fan sounded much different.

I am confident it’s an issue with my truck. The original dealer will replace the blower motor tomorrow given the DTC I originally told them about.
Let’s see………

BTW, Driver Focused seems like it’s intended to limit heat use to half the car for efficiency purposes rather than a button you press to redirect all the heat to the driver. You can’t heat half a cabin so that feature stays off for me.
