I asked a follow up to confirm this is Lightning and not all trucks

 

[shocker]

There must have been a miraculous multiplication of batteries to add 150K Lightnings on top of increased production of Mach Es.

 

[bmwhitetx]

So they replied to my followup:

Bruce, Texas: You said 150,000 units for MY22. Confirm you are saying for Lightning, and not also ICE vehicles
⮑Moderator: Here is the headline from the January 4th Press Release FULL SPEED AHEAD: FORD PLANNING TO NEARLY DOUBLE ALL-ELECTRIC F-150 LIGHTNING PRODUCTION TO 150,000 UNITS ANNUALLY

I think they are confusing that press release with MY22...

 

[Tyler Durden]

Look closer. Misplaced comma 150,00 should be 15,000.

It was too good to be true

No, the moderator meant 150,000. But was referring to the press release for ultimate annual production. No comma error.

I asked what was included in the Max Tow package. No answer.
Erroll just mentioned the Max Tow, but did not say what it included

Edit: Moderator just responded that it is additional cooling capacity, as suspected

 

[Sun Devil]

I followed up and they clearly say it is for the Lightning.

 

[bmwhitetx]

Yeah, but they keep saying as of Jan 4th which is referring to the press release. Don't get me wrong I hope that's true. But all the analysis this forum did on that press release indicates the 150K is not MY22 (which is not even a full year)

We cross-posted.

OK, he left off a zero. I do wish that would have been new info

 

[Sundancer330]

Just remember the Bronco of 2021, big numbers promised and missed by a mile. The chip shortage is far from over, only time will tell if they can hit that number.

If it is 150,000 and the previous trim ratio's are still set they're gonna have a heck of a time pushing that many XLT's out that noone wants.

I’ll take one

Chevy sold them a bunch of lightly used Bolt batteries at a great price.

But seriously, there's no way they're going to be able to ramp that fast--can the rouge plant even physically accommodate this many?

 

[sotek2345]

Yeah, this is just a Ford communications person (likely a college intern or similar manning the chat) that misread the Jan 4th announcement.
