  1. Anyone pay over MSRP for the Lightning?

    This is mine. Meanwhile there's no mention on that page of the $550 in dealer added junk (Maintenance and Window Etching) that were on the printed form that I signed in January... and NO MENTION of the extra $1000 deposit on top of the $500 Ford took on the website that they asked me to bring...
  2. Anyone pay over MSRP for the Lightning?

    Still waiting to pick mine up, but I know for sure my dealer slipped a few things in that they didn't explain and I didn't ask for. $345 for "Maintenance" $199 for Window Etch
  3. Train ride to NorCal

    EV Reserved Ordered Build / Blend Delivered F150 Lightning XLT SR 5/20/2021 1/20/2022 8/9/2022 This is where I stand… I think the reserve date may Be 5/19, but I do know I reserved within minutes of the announcement. I just don’t remember the date.
  4. āœ… 8/8 Lightning Build Week Group

    Right now my sticker has 8/9 for the blend day.
  5. āœ… 8/8 Lightning Build Week Group

    My sticker says my Blend Date is Tuesday 8/9 Any idea how to read some of those other codes such as 9-NORMAL. I'm guessing 9 = normal priority?
  6. Train ride to NorCal

    I still think the dealer has a lot more to do with the eventual delivery date than they should. I know for sure that I was the 2nd person to convert a reservation to an order at my dealer. I also know for sure that the first batch of trucks to arrive coincidentally were sold above list as...
  7. New York City

    Still waiting. No communication from the dealer, but Ford sent me a VIN # a few days ago, and it says my build week is 8/8. Meanwhile have you seen their crazy billboard on the side of the Outerbridge? It says ā€œUnderā€ 1000 Used Vehicles In Stock. ā€œUnderā€ 1000? You might not have noticed the...
  8. Ouch!! First Electric Bill since getting the Lightning….yikes!

    You should reach out to your energy company to see what kinds of savings programs they have for EV owners. In my case, I use Con-Edison’s ā€œTime of Dayā€ based billing which drops the price per KWh to a fraction of the price between midnight and 8am, so most of my charging is at a deep discount...
  9. New York City

    It's such a joke. How is it that they keep selling trucks at a premium from "Inventory", when they're only supposed to be sold to actual customers who placed orders online? Meanwhile customers who actually ordered are still waiting for trucks to be built. It's pretty obvious that they...
  10. āœ… 8/8 Lightning Build Week Group

    I'm a Wave 2 from New York with an XLT 312A SR. My build date has moved at least 4 times, but I'm currently set for 8/8. Let's hope it doesn't move again... and they ship quickly.
  11. New York City

    Technically, all Lightning orders are supposed to be online only. Ford took reservations online starting May of last year, then they started inviting some of those customers to convert their reservation to an order stating January of this year. With over 200,000 reservations and only about...
  12. šŸ“ˆ Comparison Chart : 2022 F-150 Lightning Trim Levels Pricing

    I think they've got quite a few figures wrong. For example, the XLT 312A has 9.6kw without the ER battery, and the Pro doesn't have 9.6kw at any price. To simplify, any model with ER has the 131 kwh battery, 320 mile range and a 9.6kw ProPower onboard. Lariats and XLTs with either the ER or...
  13. Atlas Blue Lightning vs Velocity Blue F-250 For Color Reference

    This will be my 5th blue Ford. I’ve seen it in person and it’s beautiful, but I would love it to be just a bit lighter. Also not thrilled with the way the badge is lost in the colors.
  14. New York City

    Not yet. Even though I was the 2nd person to order at Dana, mine isn’t scheduled to be built until 8/8.
  15. Tesla opening superchargers to non-tesla vehicles in the US

    Musk has always said he wanted to open the network to non-Teslas. Having a proprietary network was never intended to be for a competitive edge. There was no standard when they started building cars, so they made one. The biggest hurdle was't a business decision, it was working out how to...
  16. How to install Bed Rug in 2022 F150 Lightning (Video)

    I had a cover, so I the bed rarely got wet, so my truck bed always smelled fresh. When you think about it... Ever since they started making F-150 beds out of aluminum, I've wondered whether any protection is needed. It'll never rust, even if there's tons of scratches, so for me, the BedRug was...
  17. How to Fix BlueCruise Refusing To Enter Hands-Free Mode

    I'm still waiting for my Lightning, but I have similar problems with my Mach-E for the past week. In my case, it triggers an alarm telling me to resume control that does not turn off unless I pull over and turn off the car and start over. Thankfully over the air updates should eventually fix it.
  18. How to install Bed Rug in 2022 F150 Lightning (Video)

    I LOVE BedRug. I had one in my 2016. I spent a lot of extra time on the cutouts that made it look a bit neater, but in hindsight didn't matter that much. I'm debating whether I even need a full BedRug, or just the lower mat.
  19. Review: Ford F150 Lightning is the iPhone of Pickup Trucks! (by MKBHD Marques Brownlee)

    Lots of people who have tailgate parties before an event don't even own a truck, so to me, the term is universal. I think people like looking for variations in names just to make the connection to what became before it... like Watergate has spawned lots of (Something)Gates over the years. When...
  20. Dana Ford in Staten Island has one for sale

    They had the same rule when the Mach-E came out last year, yet Dana Ford had about 50 of them on the lot. I'm fairly sure 50 people didn't cancel their orders, but I don't think it would be hard for a dealer to place 50 reservations from people who claim to be customers.
