Good point about future proofing coming from Tom's video!

@tommolog

Yes!
Tom is very correct this is the way charging should be incentivized! @tommolog thank you for being a forward thinking advocate for EV owners. I look at it kind of like my cell phone. I use it all day and then charge it while I sleep and it is full in the morning when I wake up and go about my day.

Complimentary installation is a nice touch, but the FCSP is still not a great option. It's overkill since most new owners (2024's) can't take advantage of the 80 amps. And FordPass is awful for connecting to it. I haven't been able to change my charge rate since before 5.0 came out. Maybe Ford has a back log they need to get rid off?
Zprime29,

Here’s a thought experiment for 2024 Lightning owners who “need” (I don’t) the 80A charging speed for their Lightning lifestyle. Could a second charger be added?

I know most things can be done with enough money thrown at them, but could this be a reasonable modification? Someone must have tried this already. đź«Ł

Just DocuSigned my purchase tonight to get the incentives that expired 9/30. Won't pickup my Lightning until tomorrow. Looks like they may have dropped the 0% 60 month financing, so I'm probably better off anyway. You can get a $2000 incentive instead of taking the charger and installation and there's a $1000 retail incentive, but it appears no 0% unless they add that back in by morning. So the 1.9% interest blows the whole deal compared to the September incentives even after taking the $3000 in new incentives.
