There are some great 'ponderings' about various aspects of the Lightning's range in the active thread here. Suggest you mine it for some good ones. And thank you for not just the offer but taking the time to get the scoop.

For sure ask about the range and why a lot of people that get one for a demo show far more than the 300 miles would be my biggest question!

I want to know if the range extender that they patented last year is an official thing that you can optionally order with the lightening in the foreseeable future. Here:

When will information about the backup power system be available? When will we be able to start scheduling installs through SunRun?

Will the 80amp pro charger for the Lightning also work to charge a Mach-e?

Any update on the timing when the build and price tool will be available?

What are their target production numbers for 2022?

 

[Maxx]

when will Pro be available for third party review?

How is production and distribution prioritized? Hi Trims first pro last?

What is the reservation number for the first lightening reservation?

 

[cstring]

Estimate of first-year delivery number and date?

 

[Madeinchina]

Ask him if plays basketball. Tall people love it when you ask them that.

1. Will the pro have the same color options as the xlt and above models?

2. Will there be an ala carte to add just a 360 camera?

3. What model is going into production first?

When will we have official Trim level details? Will the exterior/interior colors be the same as the current F-150s? On the leaked trim level document, it has the fully loaded Platinum starting at $89,874; so how does the "starting at" work with fully loaded? Which trims will go into production first? Will the Lightning's be Ford's top priority in terms of production (over other lines)? Will the Ford/Sunrun home kits be available way in advance? Will you take my money now please?

No, no, no. Tall people really love if you ask them: How's the weather up there?

I would like to know if the DC fast charging curve is going to look like the Mach-E or if the data from the Mach-E is going to help improve the Lightning's charging curve. More specifically, under optimal conditions how long do they expect the Lightning to charge at 125 kW or better?

I expect that they will be tweaking this up to the last minute and don't 100% know the answer to this yet, but I would like to hear their response.

 

[GarageMahal]

I would love to know how much load the 12v system can handle, both peak and sustained.

 

[Mathmatic]

Is there a possibility for a Lightning with a 8 feet bed either in supercab or regular form in a near future? Will there be a bench seat option soon?

 

[RangerJ]

Will X-plan be supported vs dealer markups etc
