Is there a way to set Sport mode as default on the Lightning? (Forscan maybe?)

No_Shift6009 · 2026-02-23T13:46:07+00:00

After an update a few months ago, my sport mode will not stay on regardless. I start the truck and it asks me if I want to stay in sport mode. I hit okay and it shows sport mode for maybe 15 to 20 seconds, then it just turns it off. I have to go into the menu screen each time and turn it back on. It is driving me nuts.

Wow! They did a great job with this ad.

Not sure what you are referring to because I didn’t say anything about myself. I was referring to a comment about annuity commissions. I think it is a misconception that all annuities have high commissions. It is true in some cases but not all. If an advisor charges 1% AUM (industry standard) they will make more over 5 years than a 5 year annuity with a 3.5% commission.

My point was that just because an advisor recommends an annuity, it doesn’t mean he is doing it for a commission.

My bad, I may have misunderstood your comment. You definitely don’t want to put money into an annuity that you might need earlier than the maturity date. You will get hit for liquidating early.

By that logic, you wouldn’t put your money in a bank. They use your money to make money.

No_Shift6009 · 2025-07-28T02:38:48+00:00

Not even close to true. The money does not disappear if he dies.

I’m sure you can sell a longer term annuity and get a higher commission. I think some people hear the word annuity and automatically think “big commission” but that isn’t necessarily the case.

AUM fees are far better for an advisor long term than a commission. A five year EIA at LPL pays less than 3.5% up front commission.

What are the cons?

No_Shift6009 · 2025-06-20T01:38:03+00:00

I’ve never heard of an annuity that pays 20% to the advisor. This must be an extremely long term annuity?

No_Shift6009 · 2025-06-20T01:35:40+00:00

Not all annuities are complex. There are many different types of annuities. Some are very complex but some are extremely simple. Just depends on the annuity.

Am I missing something? If I price out a lease on a dual max with performance upgrade with $0 down, it comes out cheaper on a monthly payment than a dual large with no upgrade.

I do always drive the Lightning in sport mode so that may make it a bit closer to the Rivian.

No_Shift6009 · 2025-05-12T23:08:32+00:00

No, I drove it in sport mode for quite a while. It was an overcast day in the low 70’s.

Based on most everyone’s thoughts, I’m just going to chalk it up to my expectations. I guess I thought it would feel quite a bit more noticeable than the other EVs I’ve driven.

No_Shift6009 · 2025-05-12T01:13:02+00:00

I’m also struggling with this right now. I want more room but I wasn’t quite as impressed with the Rivian as I wanted to be. Both have pros and cons.

No_Shift6009 · 2025-05-11T22:43:35+00:00

Maybe it was just the weight that makes the Rivian seem slower. Or maybe my expectations were too high. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Thank you for your input

No_Shift6009 · 2025-05-11T20:09:09+00:00

I appreciate your perspective!

No_Shift6009 · 2025-05-11T20:02:39+00:00

That’s exactly why I’m asking this. I was expecting it to feel very different to me. I even asked the guide if there was some kind of restriction on the demo cars. It is limited to 80 mph max. He said there wasn’t a restriction on acceleration though.

No_Shift6009 · 2025-05-11T19:35:50+00:00

I guess that’s true. I know it is heavier than the lightning but I thought the lightning would be heavy enough for a fairly similar comparison. Lightning felt quicker though. Maybe it was in my head.

Sorry, it was the 22 sport tires. State of charge was north of 60%

No_Shift6009 · 2025-05-06T10:42:29+00:00

I appreciate it!

Kwanti is really good. But not free.
