3/13 submitted form, posted in ‘3/20/2023 Lightning Build Week Group (MY2023)’. Est build bumped to 4/10, then on 3/17 to 5/15.

Just completed the O.S. form. 3/13: My est build date has been bumped once to 4/10. 3/17: Now 5/15…

Going to make for some interesting AAA roadside calls & insurance claims…

Seems this wave opened for many around 6p EST & the xlt was gone about 8a. Never saw any pros available. Curious if anyone ordered a pro this wave…

For me, XLT now showing “Currently Closed“ Don’t know if it’s per dealer, temporary or what…

I’ve set this up for someone to park far back against a garage door. Would light up red when beams broken & beep at you until vehicle clears the beams, assuming it’s set up right. Downside is it’s battery only, might be a pain to position it on wall where the beams are ‘just’ behind the door...

For Lightning w 2.4kW (w/o 9.6kW Pro Power), perhaps a 120v manual transfer switch (eg Amz asin B00FADDE0A- switch both legs) using one for ea critical circuit only (furnace, fridge, etc), ea run to a 120 on truck w proper gauge ext cord. Keep the basics running on a budget…

Great idea, thx for posting! Assuming users don’t have a way to edit the current list, any thoughts about adding the info into a user editable Google doc similar to https://www.f150gen14.com/forum/threads/?-f-150-lightning-orders-tracking-list-stats-add-yours.7929/ …so you don’t have to...

Thx F150_Xpress for Q&A threads & to others who provided great event info! Wonder if Thunder will be a propulsion sound…

Will X-plan be supported vs dealer markups etc

Might help with aerodynamics? Downside is always hauling that extra weight around on a vehicle & trying to constantly find the best position for it vs installing it on a roof…

Hopefully Ford will improve the cooling system hose design on the lightning vs the E Also, I thought I heard in the video that they will be producing various trim levels, not just the most expensive to start with.

I’ve read many EVs often get better city MPGe w regen etc vs highway wind resistance (agree that they are more efficient at steady speeds otherwise). Maybe even worse highway for the Lightning; guess we’ll see what numbers it gets...

Also note you might lose some range if up north, with colder weather.

Thanks all! Another I had seen recommended on another forum were clazzio, which I’m not familiar with. Still some time before the F150L are out…

Just like Tesla early on, early adopters got a tax break and got to deal with newer software & bugs…just like other new technologies. Ford will get it sorted as software matures. Some T owners paid for FSD and are still waiting. I drove a Y one month ago. The screen was glitching (‘buttons’...

Any opinions, recommendations for or prior experience with quality seat covers? I’m thinking some pro buyers might want cloth or leather to cover the two way manual adj vinyl seats and other trim buyers might also want a change. I believe I read somewhere that pros get non carpeted flooring also…

Anyone know of a similar stainless/metal hatch? Locking ‘peephole? For parking length and tight fits, I’ve seen parking mats & strips to stop vehicles at specific points but also read about the glue getting wet and them eventually shifting forward. Another option is using an overhead laser...

We’ll also have to see if anything changes with tax credits by the time F150L & CT are actually produced ($12,5k & $10k?) & what final pricing is for each trim. From what I’ve read, insurance rates have also been higher on other comparable Tesla models.
