Tis the season for some of us to turn our thoughts on how we are going to pay for our new Lightning. For Example Purposes I am using my own Lariat ER with Max. Trailer Tow Package (+$825) and Destination Charges (+$1,695) for a Total of $79,994. I agreed with my Dealer to add what I viewed as a...

Just some random questions and thoughts.... :unsure: The earliest Estimated Production Date announced to date is the Week of April 11th with a VIN # of about 002800. The lastest is May 30th (a total run of 8 Weeks) with a VIN # of about 005900. I assume that all the Lightnings manufactured...

I have taken the data from our Forum Order Page and corrected, reformed, and grouped it into summaries of Waves 1-3 in hopes of finding patterns whereas we can find conclusions that give some hope for those of us who are waiting for that Golden Ticket to be emailed to them over the next month...

I am searching for a good cover to protect my Lightning while parked outside. There seem to be few options. I want to protect against bird droppings, falling leaves, acid-rain, dust, pollen, and petroleum particles (while inside the garage). Also important is to protect my Moonroof. I want...

Understand that previous threads have discussed the future installation of the high end charge solution for the Lightning but now that successful orderers of the Lightning Extended Range Battery models are 3-6 months away from being able to order from SunRun (through FordParts.Com), it is useful...

"Car Makers are Blaming Dealers for Inflating Prices" https://qz.com/2124564/ford-gm-are-cracking-down-on-dealers-for-inflating-prices/ "Whereas it was once rare for dealers to sell cars above their sticker price, that trend started to reverse last year. 80.3% of car sales in the US went for...

I think it would be helpful to start a new discussion. Take your minds off waiting for that all-important email from Ford. Although your new truck will probably not arrive for maybe 5 months we need to prepare our minds and habits to give it the loving care it deserves. It is not just a truck...

At this point in time (October 31st) Congress is very close to passing the Build Better Act which would reauthorize new credits for EVs. For the 2022 Lightning the MSRP Maximum Limit would be either $80,000 (Senate) or $74,000 (House). Although Ford is waiting to publicize Base and Options...

I have been thinking about the news these past few days on various companies (Walmart, GM, Hertz, etc.) installing networks of EV chargers at stores, hotels, and dealerships. Most of these would be Level 2, 30-40 amps, that could charge at a rate giving the EV a boost of 25-35 miles per charge...

Trying to factor 2022 available state and federal cash or tax credits into my decision to buy the Lightning F-150 has been like hiking knee deep through a swamp. It could be nothing (federal) or as low as $3,750 or as high as $12,500 in 2022. Based on my current cash and credit my truck could be...

Interesting article on the scales that will be part of my new 2022 Lightning. Of course, the scale is not limited to the EV but I won't tell the ICE'ers. https://jalopnik.com/ford-f-150-taillights-have-a-feature-previously-unknown-1847854319 There are 4 LED indicators embedded in the...

I have been trying to make up a detailed list of existing charging stations in my state and adjoining states. Perhaps there is such a thing over on MME Forums? Many websites have maps but little detail including cost per minute or kWh unless you have an account. Can anyone give me examples in...

The first generation 2022 Lightning is full of limitations. If you cannot accept all of these then wait or buy something else. We used to call a purchase like this "The Bleeding Edge". My RV camping fifty years ago planning included trying to find sites with running water, outhouses, and maybe...

As the reported October 26th opening date to order the 2022 F-150 Lightning approaches I wonder what I should expect to happen from now on. I was disappointed today that this was the day the order window opened for the ICE F-150 but there is still no Build & Order on the Ford website. So a...
