What is the build date (month, year) for the truck? (driver's door jam, b pillar, sticker, top line) just to see if others of same month/year show similar problems.

I have a 2022 Lariat. Last Monday i had an appointment that was 80 miles one way. I have OTA's setup for everyday at 1am. Hadn't gotten an OTA since October 2023. So last Monday, when I get in the truck to come home I was surprised when I started the truck a message appeared on the display that the Gateway Module had been updated. (ECG-24.2.5.6.3)
Then 80 miles back home I stopped for about 30 minutes. So of course the truck wouldn't start. It was towed to the dealership, they worked on it most of the day on Tuesday. I picked it up on Wednesday. On Thursday, I drove it about the same distance and the same thing happened. So it's back at the dealership. The Gateway Module update created seven pages of trouble codes.
So from my experience, I would want a different Lightning. And to all Lightning owners, turn off OTA updates.
