Does anyone here have issues with cold acceleration and shifting? The car really falls flat as if it’s shifting up too many gears at once does anyone know if the Ford tune will take care of this issue?

The engine and Transmission are still cold. You have to wait until the car is truly warmed up to expect optimal shifting. That being said you shouldn’t feel very abnormal shifting.

To me, shifitng is rough or ungainly when car is cold. Like 2020FordRaptor says, I just go easy on the throttle until warm.
