F150 Lightning Road Trip & Ike Gauntlet Pull

Going to chime in and show my age here. I think the vehicle and its capabilities are great. However, the charging circus has to go. Having to map out a charging strategy on a trip and use 4 different aps on your phone to find a suitable place is problematic for someone like me. Maybe if you have a compliant copilot, but doing that stuff on the go is the very definition of "distracted driving". 5 hours of recharge time is a deal killer for me, impatient as I am. Talk about range anxiety and stress. Road trips for me are supposed to be enjoyable.

Another thing. Who would hurtle a 7,000 pound rig down the highway with their hands off the steering wheel? I don't get it. GM has a commercial showing a man driving with no hands and his daughter is sitting in the back seat! I see class action suits at some point possibly bankrupting a manufacturer for offering a crazy option that I doubt anyone was clamoring for. I hope Blue Cruise can't be enabled when towing. Do members on this forum really want to be going down the freeway at 25k combined with their hands off the steering wheel?

On the upside, you'll have plenty of time NOT behind the wheel waiting to recharge the Energizers to map out your next charger stop!

And to the contrary, I could and would TOTALLY make use of autopilot!
I wonder, will autopilot let you break traffic laws, like speed limits in particular? Because if it doesn't then it's a deal breaker!
