3/13 submitted form, posted in ‘3/20/2023 Lightning Build Week Group (MY2023)’. Est build bumped to 4/10, then on 3/17 to 5/15.

Just completed the O.S. form. 3/13: My est build date has been bumped once to 4/10. 3/17: Now 5/15…

Going to make for some interesting AAA roadside calls & insurance claims…

Seems this wave opened for many around 6p EST & the xlt was gone about 8a. Never saw any pros available. Curious if anyone ordered a pro this wave…

For me, XLT now showing “Currently Closed“ Don’t know if it’s per dealer, temporary or what…

I’ve set this up for someone to park far back against a garage door. Would light up red when beams broken & beep at you until vehicle clears the beams, assuming it’s set up right. Downside is it’s battery only, might be a pain to position it on wall where the beams are ‘just’ behind the door...

For Lightning w 2.4kW (w/o 9.6kW Pro Power), perhaps a 120v manual transfer switch (eg Amz asin B00FADDE0A- switch both legs) using one for ea critical circuit only (furnace, fridge, etc), ea run to a 120 on truck w proper gauge ext cord. Keep the basics running on a budget…

Great idea, thx for posting! Assuming users don’t have a way to edit the current list, any thoughts about adding the info into a user editable Google doc similar to https://www.f150gen14.com/forum/threads/?-f-150-lightning-orders-tracking-list-stats-add-yours.7929/ …so you don’t have to...

Thx F150_Xpress for Q&A threads & to others who provided great event info! Wonder if Thunder will be a propulsion sound…

Will X-plan be supported vs dealer markups etc

Might help with aerodynamics? Downside is always hauling that extra weight around on a vehicle & trying to constantly find the best position for it vs installing it on a roof…

Hopefully Ford will improve the cooling system hose design on the lightning vs the E Also, I thought I heard in the video that they will be producing various trim levels, not just the most expensive to start with.

I’ve read many EVs often get better city MPGe w regen etc vs highway wind resistance (agree that they are more efficient at steady speeds otherwise). Maybe even worse highway for the Lightning; guess we’ll see what numbers it gets...

Also note you might lose some range if up north, with colder weather.

Thanks all! Another I had seen recommended on another forum were clazzio, which I’m not familiar with. Still some time before the F150L are out…
