With almost 3500 miles, other than continual software glitches & the insanely poor public charging situation (ridiculously few fast chargers, with many of those broken) I've had a good experience & was rather impressed with my first Ford (my other vehicles have primarily been BMW & Audi) Until last night.
While driving at full highway speed, I received "Stop safely now" followed by an immediate, complete loss of throttle - not any kind of limp mode, it seemed like the motor turned off completely. No, this was not because I ran out of charge (see photo) but instead some kind of other major failure. I was lucky to get from the left lane to an off-ramp before my momentum ran out. Needless to say, this was not a fun experience.
Now I'm anticipating the dealer will do a software flash or something & tell me it's fixed; while I'll be expecting a recurrence & hoping I'll be able to stop safely again. Never being able to trust this thing again after 3 months is a sad situation & unlike anything I've ever experienced having owned 30+ vehicles in the last 25 years.
