Good time to ask questions.

I'm gonna guess that we already know everything that they are going to answer. But hopefully there will be a little bit of new information.

Can someone ask if the 2022s are capable of bluecruise 1.2 without an hardware upgrade and is there a plan to eventually roll it out to that model year?

I did as a follow up to the Bluecruise question, but I didn't get an answer. I asked 5 minutes after the rep posted so I thought I had a chance.

I wish the press release was more specific about this as this same question is asked in the MME forum . Every answer so far has been ambiguous

Ford's answer to everything, "We've heard other people ask for the same X, we're working on it." Why can't they just answer questions like normal people and/or actually have answers for anything. What good is an AMA where every answer is "we're looking into it," "we are committed to making the truck great," or "can't talk about that."

And I didn't even get any non-answers to my very reasonable questions, but I can fill them in for Ford
Q: When will Ford offer a 200kWh battery option and increase charge rate?
A: We can't talk about that, we are committed to making the Lightning great.

Q: Can Ford add ability to control charge rate from the truck?
A: You're not the first person to ask about that. We're looking into it.

Q: Any talks with Tesla to share the supercharging network?
A: We can't talk about that, but we have exciting things coming in the future.

My assumption: they’re never doing this with the Lightning; the MY25 mystery truck might

like the lightnings that preceded it, the BEV Lightning is just a brief sideshow
