1. I was told by the Dealership that using your 'phone as a key' would be available soon. This week on the FordPass app it appeared 'Set Up Phone as a Key', but it did not work. I eventually got hold of someone at Ford who tells me they had send the option out but the software still isnt available to make it work. Unbelievable.

2. You still cannot set and save the charge rate at 80% or in fact any other percentage other than 100%. I also have a Model S Tesla and anyone will tell you charging to 80% is quick and cheap, but from 80% to 100% takes a long time using more hydro. Spoke to my Dealership and to Ford and they still don't know why you cannot set it on either the vehicle or the FordPass. Can anyoine else set it up on their Lightning and how?

3. Towed my trailer today. When uncoupled from the trailer and I tried to move away it was like the brakes were locked!

#2 seems to work for me when I set it up as a charging location. I'd prefer a slider every time, but it seems to work as a preference when the truck is at the location.

I have my charger set to 90% with no issue. I have used both the internal 15" screen and the app to adjust. The "One time 100%" setting also works every time.

I was able to set up my max charge limit in the 15" screen and in the ford pass app on day one. Haven't had any issue with it.

Phone As A Key popped up for me a month or so back after some update and when I tried to set it up I didn't know what my biometric code was. Someone else on here says they are using PaaK. But since I don't care about it, I'm in no rush to resolve.

lots of user errors happening here…blame yourself…

#1- it is well known this was delayed due to a vulnerability found related to Bluetooth - not going to spend time explaining…

#2- easy peasy, works 100% for me

#3- I’ve never experienced any issues.

I have seen no credible reports or word from insiders that this was the delay in implementing PaaK. If you can find such evidence, please share.

PaaK has not been deployed for earlier build trucks yet. It is operating on later build trucks. Quite believable.

My truck is set up to charge to 80% at home. It works fine. You have to first charge at that location (even briefly) and then you can program the preferred charge setting at that location. See page 214 of your manual.

I've never encountered this problem.
