Finally pulled the trigger

Any advice you guys have please share

• Rubber or TPU floor mats, to keep the underlying carpet pristine.
• Set covers if you have kids or dogs to keep the underlying seats pristine.
• Even if you have a bed liner, I recommend a bed mat, keeps things from sliding around.
• There are some bungee nets you can get on Amazon for the frunk. They used to be included but they redesigned the escape button and stopped including them. I still find them useful.
• Get rid of the Ford mobile charger, or maybe hold on to it in case you ever rescue charge someone using the PPOB in the bed, since they both work at 30amps. Get the A2Z Supercharger and destination charger adapter pack, and get a tesla mobile connector. Much better mobile charging experience.
• If this is your first EV, remember ABC. Always Be Charging. If your truck is parked at home, it should be plugged in. The battery will regulate its own temperature if it has “shore power” to do so. Also, set your charge limit to 80% and use that as your max unless you’re going on a long trip.

Picked her up on Friday. Antimatter Blue Lariat ER. I was able to get x-plan pricing through my wife’s job. The trucks sticker was $79.4k. Only option is the charger I believe. With xplan the price came down to $76.4k. Including the federal rebate all together rebates/ ford cash totaled $19.5k. Final prices was $56.9k. Paired with 72 months 0%. I feel good about the deal and can’t wait to enjoy the truck for years to come. Any advice you guys have please share. Will be installing an Emporia level 2 chargers next weekend.

When I purchased my Antimatter Blue 2022 Lightning, they were a hot new item. I paid $111,000 out the door. Absolutely no complaints, it is a solid build. I love this truck. I would still buy again. Congrats on your purchase. You got a screaming deal.

That is a great deal! I hope you love yours as much as I love mine! What year? Did you get the Tesla NACS adapter with your purchase? If you did not and drive long distances/road trip I would recommend getting one!

No I didn’t get one. Is Ford no longer sending them out to owners? Its a 2024

thank you for the heads up. I ordered an Emporia EvSe should have it installed in the next week or so. Also got the cargo net for the front. What brand Tesla adapter would you recommend?

Congrats & noticed all the green in the background and the windows rolled down. Won't be in that situation until March - April or so.

Yeah, we get spoiled here in Los Angeles.

There’s a 2 pack from A2Z that includes both the supercharger adapter and the L1/L2 adaptor, if you search this forum you can find a discount code for 10 or 20%off. A2Z has just about the best customer service ever, so they’re worth it IMO compared to others like Lectron. Just stay away from any of the items on Amazon that come from companies that are just random letters.
