Tim knows his stuff. Doubt you'll see anything on the website. But good to know dealers can order. He'll probably discuss on his livestream tonight.

So, besides the change to the Tesla style charging inlet, what's different with the 2025 model year?

I have not heard any updates to confirm an old prediction that 2025 would have NACS!!

This was assumed to be the plan when they originally wanted to roll out the T3 {next generation BEV Truck} in 2025, the plan has been revised to 2027.

Anywhere I can wager on this? My bet is they will not have updated to NACS for 2025.

The Order Guide states it is still a CCS connector. No NACS for 2025. See other changes in attachment (and a whole thread on it).

Spare tire now optional.
NACS adapter included

Meh. I will still maintain the 2022 ER Lariat in either Rapid Red or Atlas Blue was the best configuration ever available.

NACS adapter included only if you buy the $500 Mobile Power Cord option (which most vehicles seem to have).

That wont cause any confusion... lol.

You get a level 3 adapter when you buy the Level 2 EVSE that do not in any way shape or form work together! 🙄

In my opinion, situations such as this, are what limit EV adoption...you need to be a little curious about learning to switch from ICE to EV. If you lack curiosity, then the dealership needs to explicitly teach you the differences. The Lightning was our first EV. I spent hours learning about the different level chargers, adapters, and apps necessary to have a successful EV experience. Even then there have been a few "on the job" learning situations. Dealerships that don't take the time to understand your EV education or level of curiosity, are setting the user up for a steep learning curve. I know this has been debated ad nauseum on here...but here is another example of dealerships potentially confusing the hell out of a consumer who is then left frustrated.

...and most are not suited, staffed and/or unwilling to provide "teaching". Furthermore, Ford corporate doing something as stupid as providing a Level 3 adapter as a bundled option with a Level 2 charger is setting up an uneducated dealer into telling the buyer incorrect information about the use case of both devices and obviously irritating that buyer.

Weird that on 25’ flash battery is 122kw usable. Lariat and up still 131kw usable, so 3 different usable capacities now?

From reading the order guide, the 131kwh battery is now available only on the Platinum. Lariat and Flash have the 122kwh. XLT and Pro have 98kwh.

Lariat keeps the 131kWh battery. Only Flash gets the 122 battery.
