Ford needs to let us buy the pro with extended range

[shutterbug]

I'm guessing you've never seen a single video of the inside of a Tesla?

What exactly do Tesla innards have to do with getting non teslas charged at supercharger?

Nothing other than the fact that you were surprised that Teslas have a big center screen that displays a lot of information, including charging status?

 

[shutterbug]

All you need is the Tesla app to pay for charging.

I'm willing to bet dollars to donuts that this won't happen for 2-3 years, and only tesla actually does want it to happen.

I wasn't surprised with that. I was surprised that you thought non teslas display that sort of information, even with a big screen.

I'm obviously confused, outside of not being a sedan, four wheels and being electric are the lightning and the cyber truck really competitors? I just don't get how a vehicle that was announced what, three years ago and still doesn't exist and the lightning keep coming up in the same conversations, let's compare the Bentley and the Hyundai, they're both four door sedans, and good luck with that phone call to Bill Ford telling him "what He's gotta do!" and how your market research is far more realistic than the millions of dollars he's spent making the decisions he's made about which to sell and why! sigh, putting my soapbox away...

Hmm let's see they are both electric trucks that cost roughly the same how don't you understand they are both in direct competition of each other? The cybertruck for 50k has a 300 mile range so Ford is going to drop the ball by not having as good as a range as Tesla

Those are big assumptions you're making there. Its not like Elon has ever overpromised and underdelivered..oh wait...

You also assume CT will ever see the light of day...

Again, that they are both electric is the only real comparative point

And that they are both 4 door trucks..... and that they cost roughly the same..........

You know, you’re absolutely right, what the heck was I thinking!

Hey, you cut that out, Elon has taken deposits! and the cyber truck doesn’t just look really really kewl it’s bulletproof! and there’s a new Tesla roadster that’s being released as we speak and the Tesla semi will be released by the end of the week and the Tesla tunnel that’s paved in yellow bricks is real, it really really is!

In related news, did anyone catch Elon saying the Cybertruck would be released "in about a year or so" during the Tesla cult AI event. During this same event Elon thinks Tesla is going to introduce a robot next year...go figure

Yes, to drive the cyber truck, the robot is gonna be bulletproof too!

So to get back on topic. Ford originally wasn't going to allow Broncos to be ordered with the Sasquatch package unless you also ordered with the automatic transmission. At some point they decided to change this because of consumer demand and allowed it to be ordered with the manual transmission as well.
Anyone have any thoughts on how we can pressure Ford to change their minds and allow retail buyers to order the ER battery on the Pro?
Everyone that goes to any events showcasing the lightning needs to ask about this topic and express their desire for this combination.

This is the model that will sell best. If this model isn't available to none fleet buyers than the Tesla cybertruck is a much better deal. Waiting on Ford to change their mind before I order one.

I was talking to a dealership and they said it will be 2024 before they get any of them delivered to potential customers

Ford states that customer deliveries will start spring 2022 and the pro trim will be available from the start of production so I don't know what information this dealer is basing this statement on.
