Points lost and expired - and gone forever/new Gear Up Visa card transition soon - I used all points - mainly for $300 of SiriusXM - and 5 Ford first aid kits that I gave away. FordPass let me know by email/hardcopy.

'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...
$17k seems about right - some 50% 1-2-year depreciations - thank you for the update/free electricity here too except road trips can be expensive like ICE+.
How much battery degradation do you have at that mileage - 5% or so?
Understanding EV Depreciation Trends and Resale Value
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 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...
Fob. Love to see a tiny fob option 1/2 the size of a credit card. I carry no wallet or cash - just a plastic cardholder - 2 credit cards/license/blank check/insurance card.
Thank you - got TAS bookmarked now. Love that DOGE is showing far too many agencies have vast waste-fraud-abuse - we can save as taxpayers.
Federal/state/local governments too often take in a trillion to deliver a billion in products/services. WA state I'm in - need to move - since now they...
I contacted by email a senate office to get advice - and the next thing I knew they'd contacted the IRS! The IRS sent me $1k+ 15 years ago when they did a non-contact review - 1st contact was getting an IRS E-deposit.
Now I have a 3rd party 'congressional' involved in case it becomes an issue...
