Remember that a Lightning has less moving parts than an ICE F-150 engine does. Maintenance and repair are usually minimal cost on BEVs. Of course, when something breaks, it is probably electronic.I get it, it’s a gamble. I almost never purchase extended warranties, never on a car.
battery covered. - fine.
I might drive through that 36000 mile warranty in 2-2.5 years.
my concern is more about all the other electronics. It can get expensive quickly.
my 05 f150 had for 16 years 260k miles. The trans, replaced and rear differential were the biggest things, but I don’t think terribly abnormal. i can’t go by without mentioning the PIA triton V8 5.4L spark plug headache. Thanks Ford.
now a ‘19 f150 39 months, no problems.
my ‘13 BMW - UNDER 75K miles - 2 electronic issues that I could not repair myself. $$$
Mustang Mach E battery is 2/3 the size of a Lightning battery and costs ~26,000 for the part only.I'm really curious what a replacement battery will cost. I'm sure it's at least $20k.
