You being a quality consultant I can see how your poor experiences made you feel. It would have also affected me the same way definitely not “Six Sigma” worthy.

Nunya business ;)
I’m good with my purchase from February 2024. I would not buy the Chevy or cyber truck. The Chevy because of cost and the cyber truck, Elon.

If I totaled my truck today, I would go and buy another lightning. I also love my truck!
Exactly this. I bought my SR XLT in Dec 2023. The only thing I would have done differently is waited a few months because prices dropped again in early to mid 2024. I probably would have saved $5k... But no regrets - you can't always time market forces.

I just want BC 1.4
That is one of the reasons I sold my 2023 Lightning Lariat and leased a 2024 Lightning Platinum last week.

That plus the Massaging seats, PaaK Walk Away Lock. ProPower can be selected to run with truck turned off. All this except the Massaging seats we were promised as a OTA Software update, which I not yet experienced.

Plus it helped that I had $21.615 in incentives, a 0.05% (essentially a Zero Percent) interest rate. Then a 55% Residual to boot

$615.00 Blue Cruise Bonus

I have the park walk away on my '23 Lariat. Not sure about ProPower.

I would make the same purchase again. Very happy overall with this vehicle.

Woof...not as ugly as the Cybertruck but not too far behind.
The only thing I have a problem with in this package is the price. This should have $15K-$20K version with 160 mile range. I don't know too many trucks that have won beauty contest. Trucks are about function and CT is lacking there too.

Yes a bit weird looking but very interesting, better looking than a CT. I have a love/hate relationship with the SIZE of my Lightning. Love the interior room but it feels so big on the road (and to park).

I am with you on that. I like the fact that unlike when I drive my wife’s Subaru, no one cuts me off on the road and people get out of my way. But I do pay for it in parking lot.

I think it is safe to say ours would win the beauty pagent of Electric Pickups
Beauty is in eyes of the owner.
