  1. Google Maps EV Routing for Android Auto Now Available for the F-150 Lightning!

    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!
  2. Would a F150 Flash work for me, or should I wait?

    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...
  3. 1.4 kwh/mi on interstate…disappointed.

    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...
  4. What's Your 2024 Lightning Order Status?

    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...
  5. What's Your 2024 Lightning Order Status?

    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...
  6. What's Your 2024 Lightning Order Status?

    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!
  7. What's Your 2024 Lightning Order Status?

    Got this today. No change in order status on the website.
  8. What's Your 2024 Lightning Order Status?

    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...
  9. What's Your 2024 Lightning Order Status?

    I have an '18 Bolt. If I buy two vehicles in a row with "sometimes lights on fire" as a feature I'm getting a separate garage.
  10. What's Your 2024 Lightning Order Status?

    How are you able to tell they are shipping? Are they getting a window sticker?
  11. What's Your 2024 Lightning Order Status?

    Affirmative. There's a separate orders and reservations page that shows what I posted earlier.
  12. What's Your 2024 Lightning Order Status?

    Thanks. It doesn't look like any of the order numbers for build and price actually work on this site.
  13. What's Your 2024 Lightning Order Status?

    What do you need in order to hit this webpage?
  14. What's Your 2024 Lightning Order Status?

    The last 3-4 weeks have been stuck here for me. Anyone gotten past it in the Ford dashboard? Was that what you just got past, TheDJPhrost?
  15. How upside down is everyone and how do you feel about it?

    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...
  16. My experience so far with Ford's Build & Price website

    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...
  17. My experience so far with Ford's Build & Price website

    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...
  18. My experience so far with Ford's Build & Price website

    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...
