I stopped at a fast charger for the first time plugged in and realized I needed to move up a bit. Quickly disconnected and now the car is stuck thinking its hooked to a charger. Wont go in drive. I've rebooted it but no luck. Any idea how to unbrick it?

did you use fordpass? If so did you select "stop charging" before unplugging?

I didn't use ford pass, do I need to?
Give it a shot, go into fordpass and see if you have the option to "stop charging" and select. That's all the help I can offer I'm sorry.

Actually there is no button on the app to stop charging.

I plugged it back in, let it charge for awhile and then hit unplug on the car and this time it worked. Seams to not like being plugged in and out quickly.

glad it worked, you actually need to make sure on the charging station you select "stop charging" before unplugging. Also if you're d'c fast charging at the receptacle in your car you need to press the center round button to the right of the plug in to disengage.
