Finally pulled the trigger

Any advice you guys have please share

• Rubber or TPU floor mats, to keep the underlying carpet pristine.
• Set covers if you have kids or dogs to keep the underlying seats pristine.
• Even if you have a bed liner, I recommend a bed mat, keeps things from sliding around.
• There are some bungee nets you can get on Amazon for the frunk. They used to be included but they redesigned the escape button and stopped including them. I still find them useful.
• Get rid of the Ford mobile charger, or maybe hold on to it in case you ever rescue charge someone using the PPOB in the bed, since they both work at 30amps. Get the A2Z Supercharger and destination charger adapter pack, and get a tesla mobile connector. Much better mobile charging experience.
• If this is your first EV, remember ABC. Always Be Charging. If your truck is parked at home, it should be plugged in. The battery will regulate its own temperature if it has “shore power” to do so. Also, set your charge limit to 80% and use that as your max unless you’re going on a long trip.

Picked her up on Friday. Antimatter Blue Lariat ER. I was able to get x-plan pricing through my wife’s job. The trucks sticker was $79.4k. Only option is the charger I believe. With xplan the price came down to $76.4k. Including the federal rebate all together rebates/ ford cash totaled $19.5k. Final prices was $56.9k. Paired with 72 months 0%. I feel good about the deal and can’t wait to enjoy the truck for years to come. Any advice you guys have please share. Will be installing an Emporia level 2 chargers next weekend.

When I purchased my Antimatter Blue 2022 Lightning, they were a hot new item. I paid $111,000 out the door. Absolutely no complaints, it is a solid build. I love this truck. I would still buy again. Congrats on your purchase. You got a screaming deal.

That is a great deal! I hope you love yours as much as I love mine! What year? Did you get the Tesla NACS adapter with your purchase? If you did not and drive long distances/road trip I would recommend getting one!

No I didn’t get one. Is Ford no longer sending them out to owners? Its a 2024

thank you for the heads up. I ordered an Emporia EvSe should have it installed in the next week or so. Also got the cargo net for the front. What brand Tesla adapter would you recommend?

Congrats & noticed all the green in the background and the windows rolled down. Won't be in that situation until March - April or so.

Yeah, we get spoiled here in Los Angeles.

There’s a 2 pack from A2Z that includes both the supercharger adapter and the L1/L2 adaptor, if you search this forum you can find a discount code for 10 or 20%off. A2Z has just about the best customer service ever, so they’re worth it IMO compared to others like Lectron. Just stay away from any of the items on Amazon that come from companies that are just random letters.

My understanding is that they are now included with the mobile charger, was that not an option on your vehicle? it would’ve been on the sticker used to be $500 option.

I'm pretty sure only the 2025's will have that included with the mobile charger. My 2024 didn't come with it.

Did same on Wednesday. Briefly enjoyed it over the weekend while almost immediately noticing problem setting a target charge.

Received notice of the CSP for it via FP app today, after I already sent it back to dealer for update.

Many ~smart~ dealers are not optioning model year 2024 Lightnings the FMC with build specs getting close to the 80K limits, knowing that the customer could add / order that from the dealer P&A

Same will happen with model year 2025, which will include the NACS adapter with the FMC

So if you order it from the dealer, is it included? Mine was not included with the vehicle. I did purchase it separately, but this was well before(March of this year) I had heard that it would be included in the future..

All the Ford build Lariats in the Retail Replenishment Centers are either equipped with only the FMC which keeps the MSRP including destination charges under $80K, or with the FMC and BC subscription which still keeps the MSRP under $80K without the destination charges. No additional charge colors on any of these as well.
