F-150 Lightning values: look out below!

You definitely can claim it. The law says you can’t have bought it with the “intent” to resell.

So does this mean if you happen to be next in line at a dealership that already has allocation you’ll get the call?

Sure is! For the 500 people that will get one.

And to everyone now planning for a Pro - good luck getting one of the 500 they make. Seriously eye opening experience from Ford, I seriously doubt I’ll ever buy a Ford vehicle after this cluster. Rivian R1T here I come (1H 2023 delivery date). I’m Out!

This forum is basically the worst I have ever seen about staying on topic or moderators that care. Really a major negative.

Starts on 1240.

In the bill text just released- $12,500 credit 74k limit for pickups income limits pretty high, 800k married filing joint https://rules.house.gov/sites/democrats.rules.house.gov/files/BILLS-117HR5376RH-RCP117-17.pdf

Your Mach E sales number is also way high, much closer to 20k. https://insideevs.com/news/530606/us-ford-mache-sales-august2021/

On the Reddit thread, people are talking about Ford taking orders in waves I.e. not all preorders will be able to place an order when the order banks open. Any thoughts on this or guesses how many preorders will be invited to place an order?

If legroom / headroom is your #1 priority the Lighting will definitely fit that best! For me personally, I’m not in a massive hurry, so not concerned about which I could get first. My calculus is more about the relative value of a vehicle, and it’s hard to beat a $7500 incentive. In fact...

I also reserved a Rivian after hearing the 15k number. I’d much prefer a 32k (after tax credit) Lightning Pro. No way I’d ever spend 40k (assuming tax credits gone) on a 230 mile EV. So if to get to 300 miles you have to spend 60k (for an XLT) I’d rather have a Rivian for $63k (after tax credit).

I don’t believe the 10% Pro number for a minute. No way, no how. EVERY headline was “40k Lightning”. A HUGE percentage of the reservations had to be people wanting a 40k Lightning.

If Ford doesn’t make the Pro available to retail at launch, they are going to have a huge number of pissed off customers who feel like they have been baited and switched.

wow, this looks matte, and not like the current glossy carbonized grey F-150s. Interesting if it really is matte.

Rapid Red is now shown on the fleet.ford.com lightning pro page :):p

Many of the colors are the same, but there are some you cannot get on the pro- Rapid Red for example.

Looks like there are quite a few more pictures, including the Pro color options, up at...

It was also very disingenuous that he only quoted the prices for the pro models, one of which is not even available to retail (!).

Can you link to this interview? Thanks
