Picked up a new 2024 Flash last week, in Avalanche Gray, with Pro Power 9.6kW. I love the color! This replaces a 2019 F250, and fits my current needs way better. I got it for just under 52K out the door. X-Plan, with the rebates and the credit for not needing yet another EVSE. I'm very happy with it.

I'm a long term enthusiast with a history of fast cars, and I have to say that this truck is inappropriately fast. It's just wrong, I tell you, wrong! I love it...

Congratulations, David! We love the color too!

Currently lurking on the site. My wife drives a MachE GT Performance, and I currently drive a Tesla Model 3. With the current incentives and financing, I am very close to making the trade of my Tesla. I am going back and forth between the Flash and the Lariat.
I currently do not qualify for the X plan; if I did, I would have made a deal. I will be eligible in 88 days and wish I could see in the future regarding the EV rebates next year and the 0% financing.
I am in Kansas City, and many dealers are wanting to deal. One dealership says if we don't have what you want, we can get it from a regional distribution area pretty quickly.
It has been awhile since I have received any private offers from Ford, but that would probably also push me into purchasing. The offers seem to arrive when I am not car shopping!

Hello! Long Island owner here. Have had the truck about 11 months and put about 12k miles on it. I am loving it so far. 23 Lightning Pro. Being on LI I do a lot of "city driving" and the speed limit on highways here is 55, so I've been getting excellent range. Averaging 2.8.

Welcome & congrats on the high efficiency, do you idle a lot ? Contractor?

[12525.4/558] 22.4 miles per hour if you lost the 10,000 mile roll over.

Thank you! I am not a contractor but I work close to home. I mostly drive to work and the kids' school which is also very close to home. 95% of my driving is on local roads. But when I do hit the parkways or highways, I'll try to go as close to 60 mph as possible, both to avoid a ticket and get better efficiency. LI is flat so even on highway I'm getting 2.4-2.5 in good weather.

Hi all been a member for awhile and finally found a 2024 flash yesterday in Avalanche Gray, with Pro Power 9.6kW. I love the color, I traded my 2018 f150 with 111500mi. I have been fords for40 + years, my wife has a 22 Mach e and she loves it. Last night when we left the dealership the truck showed 100% 237 mi. I thought that was strange bu it was in the low 30’s, it was about 100 mi’s home and had adopt 28mi when I charged at home this morning it shows 100% 266 mi’s does this sound right ?

Seems a bit low, have you reset the drive history in your truck?

I'm a Lariat-ER in Southern New England, 29° at the moment, 290 miles at 100%

FLF is officially launched!! Welcome all!

Whether you're a new or veteran member, please stop in to say hello and introduce yourselves to the FLF community!

Hi,
Just got my Flash and am very happy so far. There seems to be some software issues, i.e. with the instument cluster menu, but that's minor. She drives beautifully. 2024 Flash with max tow, spray in bedliner, black (but not for long).

Congrats on your new Lightning! We'd love to see a pic.

Picked up a 2024 Flash last week. New to the Lightning but not to EVs. Ive had a 2019 Audi Etron Edition One and a 2022 Mach-E GT previously. Usually I have one ICE vehicle in my garage but this time around Im all EV, the other being a 24 Equinox EV Launch Edition.
