'22 Lightning Lariat on another forum had the owner lamenting at 150,000 miles - $17,000 was the trade-in value for his truck. EV's radically devalue compared to ICE/PHEV - buyers don't rust older batteries w/heavy mileage.

Ford has the most recalls by far the last 4 years - and the highest warranty costs - so the dealers are advised by Ford corporate to push back on warranty expenses. That means the dealer will deny a warranty issue exists to get the owner to live with it. A warranty is worth the added cost if...

The WT is the low-end trim experience that you experienced - try the RST - LT - or Trail Boss or the line on the GMC side. 460 is a true range too v. the inflated '320' Lightning. A Chevy Silverado EV Just Went 460 Miles On One Charge

7500 total miles / 6-month period of 50 days in service: Ford corporate bought back my '23 Lariat ER for full price. I bought a new '23 Pro ER for $10k+ off/0% interest - 40+ days in service recently - may be another Ford repurchase. Planning for a Max Range 460 miles - '25/'26 Silverado EV.

Buyback - go for it! Ford bought my '23 Lariat ER a year ago - the new '23 Pro ER replacement - may be a buyback too w/5600 miles - 45 days in service. Ford warranty issues/recalls are by far the highest - now Ford corporate tries to deny warranty service to save costs! 1.1 million recall...

Extra points for the mini horses. Sent you a DM about cruise/lane-keep on your '23 Pro.

Slate is not going to hard launch to optimal success. Most people that are lower-income/Slate marketing targets may want a low-cost new vehicle - but live in apartments with no ready EV plug in access. That being the case - if that's me or someone I'm advising: get an awesome new ICE...

The last 280 miles uphill - you made it without a quick charge - and if so - how much range did you have left?

18" Pro ER stock / Michelin :clap:

The video to its credit - at the end - featured the recent $10b+ Ford profit - and Ford come back potential. However - investors are avoiding the stock like it's a Pinto-Yugo. Some Ford owners - are getting push back from dealers on fixing warranty items - as a cost savings for Ford corporate...

Way past due to fire-CEO-Farley.

2.8 1-year - wind a major factor given aerodynamics.
