  1. UPDATE: Lightning Build Date Scheduling Begins! Mine for the week of 4/25/22 [previously scheduled 5/2/22]!

    The running boards are usually level with the center of a regular sized car door or the bottom of most suv's doors. If someone parks next to you and opens their door, it'll hit the running boards rather than your door. Only exception would be a truck or suv thats the same height as the F150.
  2. F-150 Lightning Official EPA Range MPGe Revealed in Window Sticker (Base + Extended Range)!

    For daily driving you'd usually only charge to 70%. So that is 210 miles of range. If you drive around 75 mph, that is about a 20% drop, so 168 miles of range. That is with the standard battery, extended range would be 179.2 miles of range. Going below 20% is fine as long as you don't let it...
  3. F-150 Lightning Official EPA Range MPGe Revealed in Window Sticker (Base + Extended Range)!

    The 48 kWh per 100 miles doesn't come anywhere close to 320 miles of range with a 131 kWh battery. That would only be 272.91 miles. Not sure where the 320 miles is coming from unless they made the extended range battery bigger. Would need a 154 kWh battery to go 320 miles.
  4. UPDATE: Lightning Build Date Scheduling Begins! Mine for the week of 4/25/22 [previously scheduled 5/2/22]!

    Same date still here. Wonder if you just got lucky and they had a couple open slots for 4/25 week.
  5. UPDATE: Lightning Build Date Scheduling Begins! Mine for the week of 4/25/22 [previously scheduled 5/2/22]!

    I've always preferred to have the regular running boards. They are a good defense against car doors in parking lots.
  6. Jim Farley: F-150 Lightning Sold Out For 2-3 Years, Reservations Stopped at 200k

    I have a couple year old cyber truck reservation and have doubts it'll ever be built.
  7. Jim Farley: F-150 Lightning Sold Out For 2-3 Years, Reservations Stopped at 200k

    If it's any consolation, I think Ford will do a better job dropping ADM for 23 model than they will for 22. I'm still expecting my dealer to screw me on delivery day.
  8. Anyone more worried now about 11th hour ADM?

    This isn't really an option because most people here don't want just an EV, they want an EV truck.
  9. Anyone more worried now about 11th hour ADM?

    Its going to happen. I'm about 50% confident I'll go into my dealership on delivery day and leave in the Lightning I ordered.
  10. Ford jerking my chain...

    I was wondering if they were going to send it to everyone or just people with active orders. Guess they just sent it to everyone.
  11. How do you plan on charging your lightning

    Both are good chargers. If my F150 didn't come with the pro charging station I probably would have gone with chargepoint flex.
  12. Was Invited to Participate in Ford Lightning Focus Group

    I think its more of a supply issue than demand. Plus they had to build a whole new plant, and even for Ford, it'll take time to get up to 100% production.
  13. So... How about them gas prices?

    EVs are not ready for mainstream yet. It would be impossible to do a roadtrip in a non-tesla right now if only 10% of pickups on the road were EVs. EA stations have so few chargers, there would be long lines at every one. Tesla seems to be the only manufacturer that cares about DC fast charging...
  14. LIGHTNING CURIOSITY -- Why Did You Choose It?

    Before my Model Y I had an F150 and before that a Colorado. I like EVs and I like trucks, and F150 Lightning is the best option.
  15. Confirmed Lightning "Scheduled for Production" dates?

    Its possible they only scheduled out until May, and you'll get yours scheduled sometime in March.
  16. Jim Farley: Watch how we are going to scale up our BEV capacity to 600,000 by the end of 2023

    The biggest issue is the DC fast charging infrastructure isn't going to be able to keep up with the number of EVs being produced. Ford doesn't seem interested at all in addressing this. Look at how many chargers Tesla is having to add due to their volume.
  17. I received my VIN for Wave 1 Lightning!

    5/16 build date looks like I have a vin already. Now back to the hardest part which is waiting.
  18. UPDATE: Lightning Build Date Scheduling Begins! Mine for the week of 4/25/22 [previously scheduled 5/2/22]!

    Hopefully that also means we get official EPA rating soon.
  19. UPDATE: Lightning Build Date Scheduling Begins! Mine for the week of 4/25/22 [previously scheduled 5/2/22]!

    Looks like 5/16 might be Lariat ER SoCal week. Got spray in as well but in carbonized gray.
  20. UPDATE: Lightning Build Date Scheduling Begins! Mine for the week of 4/25/22 [previously scheduled 5/2/22]!

    Week of 5/16/2022 here. Carbonized Grey Lariat ER with Max Pack and Spray in Bedliner added.
