I seem to already have this in the '24 Flash and it's great. It resolves a lot of issues that was having me bounce back and forth between my phone and in-vehicle stuff. The range estimates also seem to account for elevation, not sure about wind. Nicely done!
Context: I have a '24 Flash. It's great, and with some seat covers and a couple other bits and bobs, I really don't see myself having needed the Lariat. I prefer no sunroof (absurd amounts of rain here) and the only thing I could have enjoyed from the Lariat was phone-as-a-key. Bluecruise is...
Dogpiling, but here we go.
I made a little spreadsheet model of rolling and air resistance using the F150 Lightning's parameters, and this graph hopefully helps:
Ignoring the absolute precision of the numbers, what it's saying, like others, is that you can get double the range going 25mph as...
Hoo boy do I have an update.
TLDR: Got the truck. Dealer was great. Ford was great. Process was continuously in the way.
I'll keep most of my sentiment out of this, because I'm pretty easygoing and am used to bureaucracy, process, and looking at website code and network communications...
Update from Build and Price land:
I got my Moroney sticker. Using the order number + VIN here still doesn't work: https://shop.ford.com/vehicleordertracking/
Looking at the data, there were four repeated VEHS codes, two batches of two that were 3 days apart, which I imagine correspond to...
Woohoo! Vehicle code is now "VEHS". I'm not sure how this will work with the cancellation of the Model E dealer program (this was ordered through Build and Price), but we'll see!
I think I figured out, for the build and price people, how to see when the last update was made. It isn't easy. We don't have access to the page that @TaxmanHog showed up above.
It involves browser F12 mode and looking at the data retrieved, but long story short it said:
GRTA seems to mean...
I think something worth considering here (not trying to contradict the OP) is that the length of your loan really determines your chances of going upside down. A 72 month loan is slower than depreciation on, I'd say, most if not all vehicles. 36 month loan has a much better chance (even with EVs...
Regarding "who should know" and the general delays for the 24 Lightnings, I'm trying to figure out if any '24 model years have been delivered out of build and price, because I've been stuck at the "3-4 weeks out" for 3 weeks now. Dealer doesn't have any additional information that they have...
Absolutely. The dealers are being constrained by terms between Ford E and them about what they can do (get vehicles) and can't do (negotiate with the terminal customer). In talking with the dealer to put down my deposit, it's still them that are doing the final sale, but their relationship with...
I have a 24 lightning ordered through Build and Price, and my understanding talking with the dealer, who is new to the process is that there is no negotiation. What you see on the site is what you get, warts and all. I appreciate that, personally. My question is that my order has been in for 3...
