Is Ford 80A charging station worth it for Lightning SR?

[BennyTheBeaver]

I’ll spec out the 100a and 60a breaker and a hardwire upgrade from my 6-50 socket from my electrician, and keep using my 40a until timing needs require the upgrade or I go Solar.

Yea I’ve read the speculation on the 2023 Pros being sold out and I’m hoping that the Pro trim will open up again in waves 3 and 4.

My dealer let me test drive the mannequin Pro they got before they installed it on the showroom floor for the next 6 months. They won’t confirm where I am on the list but it seems like I’ll be in wave 3-4 for 2023MY.

My concern is that Ford isn't going to give extensions from 2023 to 2024 for Pro trims once sold out in 2023.

Are you an extension?

No

You have a chance.

Ford hasn't technically announced that 2023 Pros are sold out, they just are not allowing those that extended a reservation (that didn't specify they wanted a Pro on their extension) to switch to a Pro.

I would find out your place at your dealership if they are open with you about it like alot of other dealers.

I’ve tried numerous times to find out my place in line and my dealer keeps saying it’s Ford that selects when it’s your turn and not the dealer. Also that they have 300+ reservations at their store and they are 1 of 4 or more Mullinax stores across FL and GA.

At least I got to drive their mannequin Pro.

Ford does determine how many from each dealer get to order per wave...but your dealer has a list of reservations in a set order. They absolutely know what number you are on their list.

If you are in the hundreds...good luck.

I don’t think they would have let me drive the mannequin if I wasn’t in the next few wave striking distance. Allegedly I was one of a handful of people who drove it before it was put on the showroom.

My dealer is letting anyone drive their Lariat ER mannequin, I drove it a couple weeks ago. Though I had already placed an order at that point.
