Finally bought a lightning

[Montecarlossfan]

Hello all , I just pulled the trigger on a 23 xlt ER 312a and can’t wait to pick it up. Azure gray metallic and even before it’s cleaned up it looks great.
New to EV ownership but I love the way an EV just has that unlimited torque haha.

Thank you for not telling us how many 10's of thousands you saved by buying now instead of a year ago.

. You aren’t kidding .. at first it was like why would you buy a truck that is literally 20k more than an ICE , yeah they are evenly priced after incentives and dealers wanting to move them so it worked haha.

Welcome. A couple of points for you since you are a first-time EVer.
The biggest learning curve is learning your truck's range in various driving situations, learning the effective chargers along your extended routes, and aligning your charge strategy to match. Don't rely on the GOM to get to your destination - Set your destination in the Ford Nav app and your range will adjust much closer to reality when it knows what type of roads you are driving on.
Drive on and there is lots of info and help on this excellent forum when you need it.

Congrat's .. Once you go EV there's no going back.

This ^^^ There is a very good chance most of the questions you'll come up with have already been answered. The "Search" button with the magnifying glass in the upper right hand corner is your friend(and mine!). Best of luck with your new whip and welcome!

You’ll eventually learn to lay off the throttle on a pass as it’s easy to hit 90 w/o a 2nd thought.
