  1. Potential future EV credit changes [NO POLITICS]

    Just checked the website, changing to $750 on 11/2. Probably will be gone by the time the Lightning rolls out
  2. EV truck reservation poll - Lightning vs Cybertruck vs R1T

    Planning on getting a Lightning Pro for now, drive it for 3-5 years and trade it in for something nicer. Hoping the Gen 2 Lightning has a Raptor trim level (3 motors, big battery, the works) CT reservation is there if the "stars align" kinda situation. If they can hit all the performance...
  3. Ford needs to let us buy the pro with extended range

    I'm in the same boat. I don't live in an area where cold is an issue, so should be a great daily driver for 3-5 years. With the lack of used EVs on the market, much less EV trucks, I can't see resale being an issue.
  4. What color F-150 Lightning are you ordering?

    Definitely Iced Blue Silver. Unique for the Lightning and that slight blue hue looks great to me with the black Pro wheels. I can't do dark cars anymore with all the sand and dust and sun That being said I would like the Cactus Gray color from the Bronco. That and the tan color from the...
  5. October 26 is apparently NOT when 2022 F-150 Lightning ordering begins (order bank opens)

    So now at this point in the process, can you just change dealers to get a better price if they try to pull a markup? Or is it much more involved?
  6. October 26 is apparently NOT when 2022 F-150 Lightning ordering begins (order bank opens)

    Sorry, when you talked about signed documentation, I just wanted to see if anything you had seen at your dealership had certain language, etc. To make it something the dealer has to stick with
  7. October 26 is apparently NOT when 2022 F-150 Lightning ordering begins (order bank opens)

    But is something like this legally binding? Reading the Jalopnik story with the Bronco it sounds like people got email confirmation and a big markup when their vehicle came in
  8. October 26 is apparently NOT when 2022 F-150 Lightning ordering begins (order bank opens)

    Do you by chance have any examples of this type of document? Reading some of these horror stories with markups is giving me pause on ordering the Lightning at all. I really want a Pro model to save money and then get something nicer in 3-5 years when they have dedicated EV platforms (and...
  9. Tesla opening Superchargers to other automakers this year.

    This is the only angle I can see for the US. Gotta try to weasel in on that infrastructure money.
  10. Charging prices and why

    Unfortunately the beaches that we enjoy don't have CCS options so we would have to drive 20 minutes in the opposite direction and then hope it's not being used. We just got my wife one of the new Sorento Hybrids so we only stop for bathroom breaks now, which is fine for me to road trip in...
  11. Charging prices and why

    That's what I keep telling myself. If I take my truck to the beach a few times a year, I'm just gonna have to deal with the inconvenience of having to fast charge the thing, probably when the kiddos are sleeping and have it be a longer day. I can deal with that for something that is going to...
  12. Lightning / Cybertruck prices

    It's all just marketing jargon. Tesla did the same thing. "Starting at $39k with up to 500mi of range and 0-60 in <3.0 secs..." Two different models and price points but that is the line that makes every website. Not sure how that is exploiting anyone. Ford wants to lock down that commercial...
  13. $12,500 tax credit possible?

    I think we should have more credit for trucks and SUVs. Whether that be $5k/$10k or something really crazy like $7.5k/$15k. Have the limit capped at $80k or $100k. That way you can still get a Porsche if you want, you just aren't going to get as much value vs a cheaper car Only helping cheap...
  14. Ford 80A Charge Station Pro

    Heck yeah, I totally plan on doing this. Living in California with all the power safety shutoffs and rising rates, this thing is going to be a gold mine!! ?
  15. Lithium EV vs Up coming Solid State EV

    Not sure if you watched this interview from a few weeks ago. He outlines their timeline for EV pack production. They are talking about scaling up to the size that can be stacked into a battery pack by the end of 2023. I realize that this isn't Ford's pony in the race, but it gives you an idea...
