🙌 First F150 Lightning delivery to retail customer (me)!

[oneguynick]

With the solar on your house, are you going to install the HIS?

Two things:

1. Sunrun, who is the ford partner, doesn't service Michigan of all places!
2. The documentation is murky for more complex installs. I have solar, batteries in the basement, and a propane generator. I am not sure how to even start looking at the install electrically

Try to get ~500 miles of easy does it driving before hauling out the airstream, I look forward to your experiences towing!

I bet a year or years from now you can sell it back to them at full price or more so they can put it in the Ford Museum. (no sarcasm intended). In a way it's a piece of history, or at least Ford history.

Updated with Q&A with members:



62 miles. I haven't set up Alexa. Had meetings I had to run back home to take



If the truck is unlocked you can hit the button under the lip



I am going camping in the next week or two. I will report back actual range



Unless it comes on at night, no. I tried playing with the settings and ambient is on max



Mine does have the spray-in bed liner. The sidesteps are manual, but interestingly have lights at the backs. I hadn't seen that prior



Yep they charged it overnight



I had to sign a paper stating I understood the charger was coming at some point. The mobile one came with it in the frunk, but I will be waiting on the other one for a tad is my guess

Gosh, lucky you! I'm wondering why so many miles on the odometer! 62 miles is a lot for a new car. I've bought a lot of new cars and never had more than 5 or so miles on it. I reserved my Lariat ER on May 19 last year, before you, but didn't get to order until mid-April, 6th wave. I wonder when I'll get mine?

Ok - I need to leave that typo up - too funny not too.

 

[oneguynick]

Yep, gotta break in the engine else the truck is ruined for life.

Taking it up to Mackinac Island and back this weekend, trying to get some miles on it!

They apparently used it around the track is what we were told.
