Hi 6/13 gang,
I sadly must resign my membership in this exclusive club. Some of you may recall that I had reservations on both a Lariat ER with $35K markup (inherited an abandoned order) and a well-optioned Lariat PowerBoost at sticker (with no options deleted).
The PowerBoost arrived late last week, and after checking it out, I pulled the trigger on Saturday. Very much wanted the Lightning, but that $45K+ difference in cost (with tax, etc.) was just too big a pill to swallow (cue the "no sh*t, dude!" chorus).
A very no-nonsense dealership experience, top dollar for my trade, and 26 mpg reported for the 1-hour trip home post-sale helped soothe the Lightning loss.
So the real point of this post is to heartily thank you guys for being the company that my misery loved while waiting. I learned a ton about everything from order tracking to electricity to battery chemistry, and certainly have a lot of respect for the long waits and pioneering spirit everyone here is bringing to this huge milestone in the auto industry.
My next vehicle will be EV, whether Lightning, R1T, or CT. In the meantime, best of luck to all with the great new trucks, and I look forward to seeing some of you on the roads.
Taxman, if some dude in a silver powerboost randomly throws you a "hang loose" wave on the roads of SE Mass, you'll know who it is. Special thanks to you for shepherding this flock so expertly.
Best of luck with the new trucks all.
