Ford Lightning Roadshow invite for reservation holders

[Mgser]

Damn Los Angeles September 8th right down the street for me and there are 0 spots available ?. Yesterday it was coming soon…. I hope Ford isn’t just sending these out to Social Media Influencers

I think you could just go since when I checked in the one at Michigan, they only let me filled out a form and that is it. No one asked me anything or my reservation number.

I do not see why they will not let let you in.

Got in for Los Angeles but since their registration page was not really friendly, I had accidentally registered for 3 events on the same day.

How do I cancel the duplicate registrations so that it becomes available to others like @F150ROD ?

Yep, checked at midnight, it was coming soon. Got up this morning, it was full.

metroshot. no need to cancel them, F150ROD and I will meet you there and use them!

Great - I have 4 extra reservations if you need to use them.

Sept 8 - 5pm, 5:30pm, 6pm....

Is there a website for this tour? Or is it by email invite only?

I went to the event in Joliet, IL tonight. Good gravy, those Lightnings have some fire in their pants. The driver asked “are you ok with some speed?” and I said “heck yeah, bring it.” The acceleration is unreal for a 6000# truck. It throws you into the seat.

I was particularly curious to hear the pedestrian warning sound, since others described it as extremely annoying. I didn’t think it was that bad.

The chassis model was interesting.

Did you get a chance to ask about anything? Learn anything new?

Nothing new, really. They had the 15” panels in standalone pedestals to try out. They wouldn’t comment on tow range, when orders would open, or anything new about estimated range. They called out specifically that the trim inside the test trucks were not final. I took some 360 camera video of the ride itself, but I have to edit it to see if it’s any good. I’m sure it’s pretty funny on the video when the driver juked right and rolled me over in the seat. Haha.

I'm guessing they have all the test rides in the ER models. I am curious how much less powerful the SR feels. It has the same torque but about 150 less horsepower. I'm guessing initial acceleration and going at relatively low speeds the seat of the pants feeling is not much different.
Aka...will the SR be substantially less impressive to skeptical family. ?
I am guessing not because it believe the quoted 0-60 time is like half a second or maybe 1 second slower in the SR and you're really not gonna notice that.

Do they not allow cameras? Should I not show up with a 6k cinema rig?

It looks like a few vloggers have posted videos from the event so...I'm guessing they are allowing some sort of cameras but probably not anything too extreme.

I was at the Detroit event Monday and they had the ice blue truck for show, trust me, it is even better look in person. I sure will pick that color!

Do you know what Ford name for the color was? Was it “Ice Blue”?

Iced Blue Sliver

I asked them if it was ok to record video. They said they welcome it, just keep in mind that the inside trim pieces are not final spec yet, and they were using trucks that hadn’t been out of the Ford proving grounds before. I was told the platform and body were final spec.

Does anyone know if the spare matches the other 4 in production?

Called Ford Canada today about a Canadian city tour for the lightning. They had no idea when it might happen. I feel like I’ll get a call to order before I get a chance to sit in one. Seems unfair.
