  1. S.O.- “It’s going to be a tight fit!” 😂

    It is a huge vehicle and most garages are not as deep as people think. Most don't realize it is 3-4 feet longer than most SUVs.
  2. ✅ 8/28/2023 Lightning Build Week Group (MY2023)

    Good deal. Any word on the earlier production weeks getting out of QC hold and shipping? I am guessing many Ford workers will try to get maximum overtime until the contract end date of 9-14-23 hits.
  3. F-150 aerodynamics modeling

    It is already happening in Europe, but the US still mandates actual mirrors. If you look at the Ioniq 5 and the Honda E, they are set up for either no mirrors or very small camera stalks and screens inside on the doors.
  4. F-150 aerodynamics modeling

    Someone in the comments of the video asked about a standard tonneau cover, and they said they have studied that and it only had a 4% improvement. They also said that a roof spoiler might help, like the Rivian has.
  5. F-150 aerodynamics modeling

    Their Rivian R1T video is interesting as well.
  6. F-150 aerodynamics modeling

    F-150 Aerodynamics Study I found this simulation study rather interesting. Pretty obvious conclusions, but still interesting to me. https://airshaper.com/videos/ford-f150-aerodynamics-how-to-add-more-than-10-range/E0ass_AxloM
  7. ✅ 8/28/2023 Lightning Build Week Group (MY2023)

    Your blend date above is 8-30-23. It was scheduled to be produced on that day, but based on all info, production is about a week behind at the moment.
  8. ✅ 7/31/2023 Lightning Build Week Group (MY2023)

    Well, I guess that dispels my thought! Last leg is always via truck.
  9. ✅ 7/31/2023 Lightning Build Week Group (MY2023)

    I am assuming if your window sticker shows "CONVOY" on it, it will be delivered entirely by truck? Mine does & it is delivering to Cincinnati. I am pretty sure the Maverick window sticker showed "RAIL," since that is how it left the factory in Mexico.
  10. ✅ 8/14/2023 Lightning Build Week Group (MY2023)

    Well, perhaps it means it is getting loaded for shipment. Is it in the "built" status yet?
  11. Living with the Standard Range battery in the Lightning

    Awesome set of data. I would expect nothing less from a fellow Cincy resident!
  12. ✅ 8/14/2023 Lightning Build Week Group (MY2023)

    Boy, I forgot about the potential fun with the Ford Pass App. Same thing happened with my Maverick Hybrid last year when it showed as "built." I was able to get the app to activate and could see its location in the Mexico plant as they moved it around and it sat for several weeks. They...
  13. Tom’s Guide review & first look at Platinum Black Edition: “I drove the Ford F150 Lightning — and all other EVs are ruined for me”

    Nothing like doing a review and espousing about a feature that has been around for years. So many "journalists" with so little knowledge. I was just watching a Lightning review the other day where the guy was acting like AWD was an option. It was a fairly major channel as well.
  14. ✅ 8/28/2023 Lightning Build Week Group (MY2023)

    Any new info about this build week? My order still shows the same build week date in status online, but I seem to remember from back when my Maverick Hybrid was being built that Ford tends to send out change notice emails on Sundays? I have not seen anything yet.
  15. First Cybertruck trim priced from US$75,000 as Tesla preps for delivery to select few at launch event.

    Everything about the Cybertruck is still pure speculation until they release preproduction units for the media to actually review. If this actually has a stainless steel body, and that's a big IF in my opinion, there is no way these prices being thrown out will hold. If this thing is based on...
  16. 7 Things Your 2023 Ford F-150 Lightning Won't Have On It

    That was what I was wondering about as well. I did not add the Tow Tech. Here is the weird thing, the Smart Scales show as standard(without the Tow Tech) on the XLT Base(311A) if you build one online right now. I do not see them mentioned on my window sticker. The other odd thing on the build...
  17. 7 Things Your 2023 Ford F-150 Lightning Won't Have On It

    My XLT Base(311A) SR with Pro Power 9.6 added that goes into production next week shows absolutely nothing deleted on the window sticker.
  18. Living with the Standard Range battery in the Lightning

    Just a shout out to all who have contributed to this thread. There is a ton of great info that has been shared here, and I thank you for all of your input!
  19. 2023 F-150 Lightning XLT Yearlong Review: Road-Trip Range Strategies & Optimal Speed

    Interesting how their graph shows 75 MPH speed and 13 stops for 15 minutes each(3.3 hours total) of charging could get you 1000 miles the fastest.
  20. Living with the Standard Range battery in the Lightning

    This one is about the ER, but since the SR has a similar charging curve, this ends with some good info on when to charge to get the best results.
