Dealers are supposed to charge them to 100% before delivery as part of PDI. That is why you can't pick it up the same day it is received.
Is this truly part of their delivery? They really shouldn't go above 80 to 90%. No one knows how long they could sit. I'm sure this will be a learning curve and many will, but please do not charge these trucks to 100% while they sit unless the customer requests it and requires it to make it home.

Okay everyone, what can I answer for you?


Updated with Q&A from members:



62 miles. I haven't set up Alexa. Had meetings I had to run back home to take



If the truck is unlocked you can hit the button under the lip



I am going camping in the next week or two. I will report back actual range



Unless it comes on at night, no. I tried playing with the settings and ambient is on max



Mine does have the spray-in bed liner. The sidesteps are manual, but interestingly have lights at the backs. I hadn't seen that prior



Yep they charged it overnight

Yup - part of Ford delivery steps. We had to bed our salesman to stop our Mach-e at 90% (mainly because we just wanted it NOW). They are only supposed to do it right before pickup so it shouldn't sit that way for long. I would guess Ford is shipping these at ~50%, but that is just a guess.

Is that a Lightning sales brochure in the passenger front seat? is the only way to get a sales brochure to purchase a Lightning?

With the solar on your house, are you going to install the HIS?

The only time our Volvo EV has been above 90 was prior to our purchase. I set it to 90 while still in the dealership's possession (it was a demo with 12 miles on it and our ordered car was a couple weeks out. We took the demo sooner). Our lightning, when it eventually gets built and arrives will probably spend most of the time set to 70 or 80 percent.

Yup, famous for sure - maybe you will get to be a guest on a morning show, Youtuber interview, or other media influencer ?

Yeah, the only time we go above 90 is just before a road trip.

Can you work on recreating this video, only substitute the Lightning for the Raptor?



Edit: Apparently, no roasting a Rivian. I'd still watch the head to head though.

Or just find a Rivian to roast. I'm good with either.
Based on the numbers the Lightning should best the TRX in the 1/8th (barely) and then slowly get overtaken before the 1/4. Traction and shift time for the TRX will play a key role.

Rivian still smokes both.

Pro Charger included or will they be sending it to you?
I had to sign a paper stating I understood the charger was coming at some point. The mobile one came with it in the frunk, but I will be waiting on the other one for a tad is my guess
