400 isn't going to happen. R1T has 135 kwh battery and has EPA rating of 314 miles using a mix of all purpose and conserve mode. Lightning has a 131 kwh battery. Its a bigger truck, so assuming the dual motors are more efficient than the R1T's quad motors, it'll barely get 300 miles.
There is going to be a lot of waiting during this process. Waiting to get accepted into a wave, waiting to get scheduled, waiting for truck to get built, waiting for truck to get delivered, waiting for dealer to call you and say its ready, waiting to see if dealer tries to add markup.
No one knows, not even your dealer. Ford only knows their manufacturing target for the year. We also don't know how many people canceled because they couldn't get the pro or delayed until 2023 model year. Waiting is the hardest part, but pretty much the only thing you can do right now.
Yeah, I'm really hoping they release the official EPA rating soon. I really expected F150 to need 150 kwh battery in order to hit 300 miles, release surprised they have one the same size as the R1T.
This is exactly why I have an R1T and Silverado EV reservation. If I go to the dealership and they try to slap ADM on at the last minute, I'll tell them to go fuck themselves and just wait for one of those.
Yep, I completely agree. They shouldn't have done the prioritization or anything like that. Just go down the list in order of when reservations were made. But unfortunately dealerships have way too much power now, and wouldn't stand for some dealerships not getting a truck for a year or more.
It supposed to add additional cooling to the battery and electric motors. Considering last summer I had multiple 100+ degree days, having more cooling is always a good thing.
Ordered a Lariat+ with spray in bed liner, tray style floor mats and added max towing. I don't plan on towing, but I prefer to have more cooling than less. Just waiting for dealer to accept the order now.
Wow that sucks. I have my reservation with Fritts Ford too. Wasn't in this latest wave, but guess I need to find a new dealer now. Just curious what time did you do your reservation?
