Yes. The vehicle model year doesn't matter, just as long as it's purchased new. And the Lariat SR is below the $80K price cap so it qualifies in 2023.

Why would the 2022 be $7000 more? They're either not configured the same or there's some real pricing shenanigans going on.

The only thing I disagree with on what he says is about canceling your reservation if you're waiting to order a Pro. People who reserved for a Pro have waited this long and it's only $100 tied up. I'd ride that out and see what Ford says later this year. Given the number of people who want...

Heated steering wheel will be available with a retrofit kit later this year, but no details as of yet. Onboard scales can technically be added back as well if parts come available, but I'm sure it's going to cost more than the small credit they gave us. No definitive answer on adding scales...

There's a lot I like about this concept and a lot that has me scratching my head. Some things obviously can't or won't make it to final production. But I guess I'll take a look again when they reveal the production truck and start taking reservations. It's going to need to get significantly...

Finally took a minute to watch, have to agree with some of the whining. OTOH, you pay this kind of money for a truck, you expect it to work. I think the dealership that sold him the truck failed during PDI to verify a few things and make sure all the software was up to date. That could have...

Yeah, probably placing a just-in-case reservation if I don't have to commit to the top $100K+ model. I have a Cybertruck reservation as well and have been following its development very closely. Tesla seems to be clicking along rather well lately in terms of CT production. The second...

No updates for me, but it seems I have the latest known software. Just picked it up last Friday, out of town at the moment. Everything is working fine <knock wood>. Did have some modem/ FordPass issue when I took delivery. Couldn't get FordPass to connect and activate with the truck...

Granger Ford, Iowa— northwest Des Moines. They offered $1000 below invoice for Lightning and Bronco customers. Invoice price on Lightning is effectively MSRP, so it wasn’t as big of a discount as most of us, including the folks at Granger, had originally hoped. Also got a little something...

There are indeed advantages to using 1PD. First of all it makes the most use of regenerative braking and the "blended" brakes only kick in at certain times -- usually when hauling a load and the truck isn't slowing at the intended rate. While 1PD / regenerative braking recovers some energy, it...

This is most likely a local utility stipulation for you. We don't have that restriction here... But it seems many areas still don't want certain types or sizes of backup batteries or systems, in some cases any type, to be able to charge from solar. They're forcing you to pay for power from...

Just crossed the 1000 mile mark on my Lightning... My biggest complaints are: * Lack of true preconditioning, especially when not plugged in and we're dealing with sub-freezing temperatures. The element heater sucks up way more power than it should.. that thing is terribly inefficient. *...

Yep. And all automakers have latched onto the tax credit marketing. It's been especially bad in Tesla circles where Tesla figured the federal and state incentives into their advertised pricing unless you told it not to. Then we see people trying to haggle deals on used Teslas, telling the...

If you're doing it right, there doesn't have to be any sudden slowdowns. 1PD requires much more finesse -- it's not a lift your foot and coast sort of thing. And you only have to lift your foot or back off significantly if you want to quickly slow down. The dash cluster display has a small...

This varies by location and whether or not SunRun is the actual contractor. In many places, SunRun is only a middle-man and hires local electricians or contractors to do the work and they mark it up significantly. I was surprised that I got the email to confirm my shipping address for the FCSP...

You don’t have to keep the vehicle for any specific amount of time before reselling it if you take the tax credit. Technically you can’t claim the credit if you have purchased for resale, but that’s meaningless here. Because you have to register the truck or put it into service to claim the...

Dealerships get weird about some of this. Often it's because their service departments are busy and warranty reimbursement from Ford is usually paid at lower rates than they can bill for non-warranty services. So they don't want to dedicate time to lower-paying work and will try to only field...

I picked up my Lightning in Iowa and drove it back to Denver. EA charging is the absolute worst. None, and I mean absolutely none of the EA chargers we stopped at had functional RFID/NFC readers -- so no tapping with phones or cards to pay. Meaning no use of the EA app to get member rates...

In like Flynn for the tax credit. Picked mine up Friday. Azure Gray is an amazing color, pics just don’t do it justice. It’s gray, but it’s blue. The metallic can really pop.

Tesla and others don't have AM Radio in their EVs. Simply adding shielding doesn't work as the amount of shielding around the motors and electrical pathways would be significant . AM radio is going away. Many places have FM re-broadcast of their major AM stations and the major ones are also...
