I mean, a battery like the Ioniq 5 more or less.
So you would be happy with a 77.4 kWh pack in the Lighting? Or are you looking for the 350 kW charging? Do you think Ford decided to go with a lower charging kW level because they didn't think anyone would care, or maybe the design of the battery pack for a target price point?

Same KWh in battery, 131 IIRC on ER, and 800v charging.

I also hoped for a Heat Pump for efficiency with backup resistive heating. However I expect no changes to the 2023 and 2024 models for the heater nor battery composition. The engineering and investment has been made for this incarnation. I believe this truck will be identical for 3 years. If you want changes or something different I think you'll have to get in line for redesigned truck coming from the new factory in a few years.

I’m perfectly fine waiting for the next generation F150 EV.

How do you know your half way on the list ?
The morning after I reserved, Ford had a press release that they hit 120K the previous night.

Jim Farley said the F-150 Lightning is sold out for 2-3 years and Ford has stopped taking reservations at 200,000 units.

My reservation was made on 5/22/21 and I got email no further orders being taken for 2022. I hope I get to order for 2023!!

made my reservation on 5/19 immediately after the presentation at 10:11 PM EST. I received no wave invites and the no more 22 models email. There's plenty of other people in my shoes. Sucks

Is it worrying those that get the order and take delivery will have a mechanical Unicorn. With 16.1 million F150s on the road that means this particular model will just be 1.24% of the population. Is this one the "MySpace", and "Facebook" is right around the corner?

If it's any consolation, I think Ford will do a better job dropping ADM for 23 model than they will for 22. I'm still expecting my dealer to screw me on delivery day.

They better hope it's not "2-3 years"!

Tesla will be well into full production of the cybertruck by then.

THAT'S what I'm waiting for.
I have a couple year old cyber truck reservation and have doubts it'll ever be built.

Silver lining is that you're at 60K now :)
I know. I want to kick myself for not ordering while the announcement event was going on. I thought, just hold out and see. OK. So at least now I am not being pissed off for being passed over. I have other worries from Ford regarding my hybrid platinum.
