Tim just read a Ford memo on his livestream that Ford will open XLT ordering for wave 8 that should launch any day now. He said the memo said March 2nd but of course that didn't happen. Will likely go fast.

Old Title: Could be worse - bed camera deleted from ICE trucks EDIT: Tim just announced on his Friday member livestream that a new Ford memo came out and this delete now applies to Lightning. Original post: I posted this over in the ICE forum and they are understandably upset. Tim B. read a...

Looks like wave 7 opened today, will end Feb 9th. No XLT this round. Prices look the same:

The Lightning does not have the walk-away lock like the Mach-E. Hopefully it will be enabled in a future Sync update. In the meantime this is how I do it. NOTE: this is not for the faint of heart or home automation newbie. Also this only works on the iPhone. Sorry Android folks. It requires...

Just got my first Early Access Program task. It's a survey on "Software Update Icons And Notifications". Was really hoping for something more meaty but this is certainly an area that is ignored by me with the useless icon on the top right of the screen. Lots of questions on how I would like to...

A really bright guy over on the Mach-E forum has figured out how to add a button (or repurpose the Park Assist button) to enable the cameras. This would be handy when parking since the camera view only comes up after you trigger a sensor. Of course you can also bring them up by pressing a few...

Tim just reported a Ford memo that wave 5 went out today and according to Ford - only to those that answered the survey in early September that indicated they wanted a Lariat 511A (i.e., ER battery). Not all who answered the survey with 511A will get the email though. Also wave 4 and wave 5 will...

Ford had their Q3 earnings call this week. You can read the entire transcript from Farley here: Two points I picked up: 1) they are adding a a shift for Mach-E and Lightning "as we speak". 2) he expects certain Mach-E and Lightnings to meet the $3750 critical materials part of the tax rebate...

There are times when I want to get in the vehicle and just look at something on the center screen (truck settings, set radio stations, etc.) and not have the A/C come on (and maybe other systems) like you get in Accessory mode. Here's the trick: just press the On button on the radio (center of...

I bought a Lightning Lariat ER 10/13/22 - it was just delivered to dealer and the original customer declined to take it. I asked about the FCSP and they were clueless - they have only sold a handful of Lightnings. Will their order processing notify Sunrun? I just want to make sure it's not being...

Tim Bartz just read a Ford memo during his livestream that said wave 3 invitees who do not order will not be cancelled on Sep 30 but left open. There is a possibility they will reopen XLT or Pro for those who did not order. EDIT: I went back and transcribed what he read from the Ford memo he...

Saw this mentioned elsewhere but Ford has posted "F-150 Lightning™ Reservation Closure and Order Wave Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)" here: https://www.ford.com/support/how-tos/owner-resources/f-150-lightning/f-150-lightning-reservation-closure-and-order-information/. Some interesting...

With MY23 ordering beginning today, I thought I would post the Order FAQ's you get on the order screen. Most will blow right by it in a rush to order so here it is. What is interesting is it explains how the dealer can still add an ADM even though it might not show up in your order summary...

Just got an email from Ford inviting me to a F-150 Lightning Drive Experience. Unfortunately, its in San Antonio and I'm in Dallas. I did do the one last year in Dallas and well worth it.

I found an odd thing in the configurator. Start with the Lariat Standard battery (510A). At the top you can add Max Tow and Tow Tech. Ignore for now. On the right scroll all the way down to Interior Options. You will see Co-Pilot Assist as standard (correct) and two options for Co-Pilot Active...

I posted this in the Order Bank Playbook thread as table, but here is Ford's chart of Retail '22 production with percentages added (by carefully measuring bar height). Chart form: Model Percent XLT 312A Standard-Range Battery 3.7% Pro 110A Standard-Range Battery 4.8% XLT+ 312A...

Some of you have mentioned you may just get the Chevy Silverado EV instead. I received this email form Chevy today: Silverado EV reservations open Jan 5th You were one of the first to show your enthusiasm for the First-Ever All-Electric Silverado. Now you can see it the day it’s revealed and...

My son and I attended the Dallas event yesterday at AT&T Stadium. The highlight was definitely the ride-along. They had two trucks going - an Antimatter Blue Pro and a Rapid Red XLT. I got the XLT and had fully intended to check out the interior up close but the ride was fast and over with in...
