  6. New York City

    The wait is driving all of us nuts. I used to worry that I'd get it so late into 22 that I'd be better off getting a 23. I no longer worry about that. :)
  7. Total Lightning Production and Delivery days trending downward (shortening)!

    My Blend Date was 8/9... still no idea when it's going to be classified as Built, but a 20 day delivery would be awesome!
  8. Debadged Lightning - removed logo / emblem from bed box exterior

    You can get a clean set from the parts department. I did that in 2002 for my T-Bird logo. That was before the Interwebs made it easy to find parts. Here's an OEM on eBay for $90: https://www.ebay.com/itm/234650107341 Here's the flag on the back for $69: https://www.ebay.com/itm/394183878641
  9. Electrify America will install ultrafast EV chargers at over 25 IKEA US locations

    I've been pretty lucky, I rarely see ICE cars in EV charging spots, but when things get busy, those EV slots tend to be taken.
  10. Electrify America will install ultrafast EV chargers at over 25 IKEA US locations

    For what it's worth, there's an Ikea 15 minutes from my house. I stop there for lunch quite a bit because I love the Swedish Meatballs. :) That said, it's too close to where I live to be worth using as a fast charge. What we all NEED are fast chargers in every major rest area along highways...
  11. Remote start using key fob?

    I was surprised there wan't a remote start on my Mach-E either. I'm not fond of using an App to do things like opening doors or starting the car. Thankfully, the Apple Watch App is super easy to use, so I use the Watch App most of the time. That said, I still cary my FOB because the PAAK...
  12. ✅ 8/8 Lightning Build Week Group

    Thanks! I did that yesterday and again today and it gives me a HUGE list of codes. Over 970 lines. On 8/8 the .AB file was only 544 bytes. Today, it's over 8600 bytes. I guess it's ALIVE! (Still no progress on the Ford order page.)
  13. ✅ 8/8 Lightning Build Week Group

    Mods Popped? Not sure what that is, but I've been clicking refresh so often this week that my heart rate jumps about 25% multiple times each day.
  14. ✅ 8/8 Lightning Build Week Group

    My Build Week is 8/8 My Blend Date is 8/9 Well, it's 8/11... the website doesn't say it's "In Production" yet. If it's true they mainly update schedules on Thursday, I would think those of us who share an 8/8 Build Week should see something later today... right?
  15. 2023 Lightning Build and Price is Live .... $5000+ increase in price

    What a mess they made. You simply can't change the price of something after the order is placed.
  16. 2023 Lightning Build and Price is Live .... $5000+ increase in price

    I'm not surprised there's an increase for new "Reservations", but they're going to make a lot of people upset who reserved in '21 based on the original prices. Tesla has the same problem with the Cybertruck... they assumed the prices of components would drop by the time they produced them...
  17. 2023 Lightning New Colors: Avalanche Gray and Azure Gray Metallic (*Area 51)

    It’s funny how car companies have given up on “COLORFUL” colors. I realize that white, black and grey are currently the most popular color choices, but when you look at that chart of 10 colors there are basically: 4 shades of grey / silver 2 shades of white 2 shades of black (Antimatter Blue...
  18. ✅ 8/8 Lightning Build Week Group

    My Blend Date is tomorrow, so it looks like we're both rolling through the factory at the same time. My dealer is in Staten Island, so they should arrive about the same time too.
  19. Anyone pay over MSRP for the Lightning?

    The maintenance is a total mystery. You would assume that would be part of the $1695 destination charge. As for window etching... I remember dealers inventing this sort of thing back in the 90s. Basically, they claimed that cars with the VIN number etched into the glass and on stickers on a...
  20. Anyone pay over MSRP for the Lightning?

    I kept my receipts just in case they didn’t report them to Ford. From what I know they weren’t supposed to collect anything additional. The only payments Ford expected to place the order were the $100 reservation and the $500 deposit from the website. It would be so much easier if everything...
