  1. EPA MPGe Target & Backup Power Info From Ford Livestream

    I stand corrected then and need to pay closer attention to the footnotes. Most of the talk seemed to be that Ford was being conservative with the range estimates. Wonder how many potential Platinum buyers read the footnote and understood that for a whole lot more money, they'd be getting a...
  2. EPA MPGe Target & Backup Power Info From Ford Livestream

    Whomp womp! Wasn't the target 300 EPA miles, loaded with 1,000 pounds?
  3. Registeration Full

    When is the event at Met life? Only e-mail I rec'd from Ford was an ad.
  4. Lightning Tour spots are open for Daytona, Washington and NY

    When is the NY event. I might just show up and see if they let me in.
  5. Subtle body changes from ICE to Lightning

    Charge port on left and fake charge port on right for symetry
  6. Questions for Lightning Event?

    Thanks for the photo.
  7. Questions for Lightning Event?

    Thanks. The nerd in me still would like to know how the offroad thing works.
  8. Questions for Lightning Event?

    I will have to make more inquiries, but from what I've seen only 4×4s are allowed. It is called a 4x4 beach permit. The sand is soft and ruts are deep. If the 150L has a locking rear diff, it will probably be alright...fingers crossed. I assume the F150L ground clearance will be similar to the...
  9. Questions for Lightning Event?

    Ford has described the Lighning as 4 WD and lists "off road" as a drive mode. What is happening mechanically in off road mode? 4 WD is required for beach permits in my neck of the woods, meaning AWD need not apply. Is the Lightning going to qualify as 4 WD?
  10. What Questions Do You Have? (I'm attending the Event tomorrow.)

    Thanks for asking the questions and reporting asnwers. Q/A #17 just looks incorrect. No way the hitch is only 9" off the ground. Nineteen I would believe, 9" not so much. The trunk on my MG midget had more ground clearance that that.?
  11. Will Ford publish KWh/100 miles?

    Thanks for the link.
  12. Will Ford publish KWh/100 miles?

    I guess my age and colonial roots are showing.? Interesting that the ER is calculated to require more watts than the SR due to charging efficiency factored into the larger battery capacity. Learned something new today. I hadn't thought about it, but it makes sense.
  13. Will Ford publish KWh/100 miles?

    Rough numbers, I figure F150L vs my current ICE vehicles saves about $0.09/mile fuel and $0.01/mile maintenance so say $0.10/mile. Anyone done similar rough calcs?
  14. Will Ford publish KWh/100 miles?

    An earlier thread had a 46-50kwh/100 miles. So I will use that until Ford says different.
  15. Will Ford publish KWh/100 miles?

    Will Ford publish expected energy efficiency of F150L? I haven't seen any. If you have, please post a link. For now, what's everyone's guess? My guess is 50 kwh/100miles.
  16. Tax Credit?

    You don't have to pay off in 2022 to get the tax credit. You have to take possession as I understand it.
  17. Tax Credit?

    I think the oft repeated motto on this forum applies here. Plan on receiving no tax credits or incentives and you won't be disappointed and any credit or state incentives you receive would be a pleasant surprise. Easy to say, but for some folks (myself included) these can make or break the...
  18. Ford Will Build 15K Lightning in 2022, 80K+/yr by 2024

    I was a late adopter, so I will probably be disappointed ?. It is what it is. Maybe GM will be taking orders on the Silerado by the time my Ford res. number gets called. It is good to have more choices and competition in the etruck market.
