NOTE, folks: (1) The *Lightning* F150 electric platform is as *always* going to be a limited duration production (which shoulda been obvious to anyone familiar with Ford history and the Lightning designation), and (2) The next gen platform (which is not an ‘F150’) was *always* going to replace...

[EDIT: found conf email] Am I remembering/understanding correctly that with the below order number I’ve got a few years (or at least many monthsleft to wait ? Order Number: FAE:90034541 Ford site says August, but I presume that’s a Ford-esque optimistic estimate I’ve not been following...

and turned out it was more than 115mi? 148mi?

if that’s in reference to I guess all I have to say is: I don’t feel I’m doing anything more/less than I’ve done with the Lightning for 2 years sift through the brand tribalism, FUD, and claptrap to understand what these trucks really are/arent if that same tribalism/FUD/claptrap makes me...

Is that the stock hood?! Looks good in silver

Ah, my purchase was pre MSRP increases. I didn’t have to contend with it. Gordon is the head guy, and I’ve found him to be simultaneously kind and old school car sales person trust but verify. In all, I think there are far worse folks than Gordon to deal with.

yes. Paid MSRP if that’s what you mean you’ll still get all the normal pitches for add-ons

you’ll get an annoying ding and notice on dash can’t miss it

great write up, and thank you. I’m on the other end of the spectrum, taking delivery about the same time as you, but with almost exactly only 10% of the mileage did want to chime in on the quote above I feel like this is something we BEV truck owners need to better understand and explain to...

@ me, too it’s been in the shop for it and they just say they can’t find codes @Ford Motor Company - everyone’s air dam glitches constantly, please send help

does the truck know it’s a hi-lo? Because the towing range hit isn’t weight, it’s drag a hi-lo’s relatively low drag makes is an excellent choice for EV towing

thats great I’m the inverse case: signed up for the plan but don’t work near one, so I’m just burning money … keep forgetting to cancel

Y’all are wild for thinking Ford is looking to have multiple, overlapping, platforms of BEV trucks. Meanwhile, Ford’s spent the past 10 years narrowing its focus and increasing scalability. Developing multiple overlapping platforms and building/retooling multiple plants for those platforms...

I think what’s the confusion is you talk about a “3hr drive time” but you’re really describing a 4-hour+ real world drive with the middle portion consisting of a 3hr stretch of 75mph sustained hwy driving? no EPA rating contemplates this sort of conditionality on range, ICE included The...

under what real world conditions, exactly, is this not presently possible in an ER Lightning? I’ll admit I live in TX, so it never really gets below 30° - but even then I believe I could comfortably make the 3hr drive from NW Austin to SW Houston no problem “doing 70” In part because a drive...
