Heated mirrors and steering wheel only. It seems heated seats, thankfully, are unaffected.

Having heated seats on the 2023 Pro, leaves the 2022 Pro as the model with the lowest estimated range (230mi). All other 2022 and 2023 SR models are 240mi. In reality, this only matters to people who heat their cabin. It might slightly affect the resell value of a MY23 Pro vs MY22 Pro.

It is still unclear to me if this applies to the Lightning which is generally treated as a separate model from the F-150. I am hoping that Ford continues to prioritize parts for the Lightning but it may be wishful thinking.

My next question is what does "Scheduled" mean? Does having a build week count?
