Correction to Whiskey:
Do not confuse the word "reservations" with "orders. To date there have been NO ORDERS. The morning after there were 20,000 reservations. Just Saying.
This is actually good news for those lucky 15,000 because it shows Ford will start out production slowly and pay attention to Quality First. It will give them a chance to work out internal snafus and vendor quality (see Bronco Hard Top Recalls). If one really is all in for the Lightning one will...
As we get closer to the launch of the Lightning, some of us are planning our charging solutions. I may be wrong in some of my assumptions so please correct me. The Extended Range Battery Option comes with an 80 amp Ford Charge Station Pro (which I would have to pay to have installed).
The cost...
Have been trying to reconcile the total number of reservations to date and my own standing in line.
I am 108 43727 (5-20-21). The earliest I have seen is 108 03xxx. If the start is 108 00001, then I would be #40,727 less than 12 hours after reservations opened. That does not seem right. And the...
Thank you for all the answers you were able to coax out of Ford.
I have a few ideas for future versions of the Lightning that I think would be winners and make Ford some extra cash.
1. I see that they are going to fake a propulsion sound. I would like to be able to buy alternate sounds like...
All good thoughts.
But in my case the trade off is heavily skewed to me 98% of the time (local driving).
Surely FMC will do some additional testing through RV journalists prior to our order time to give real life estimates if they really want to have RV buyers. Right now there are only two...
As with any expensive purchase (especially one of a highly technical nature) a smart consummer will pre-think through how it will fit into his life style given personal perimeters.
Speaking from my advantage as an older retiree who will use the Lightning 90% of the time for local travel and one...
I plan on ordering a Lightning with the bigger battery pack. I wonder how many people with a standard 200 amp service could withstand adding another 240v/80 amp breaker. I am looking ahead and my electrician says I need to add another 100A panel next to my meter (and next to my Generac 22kW...
I may be wrong but I believe the 2022 Ford Lightning will be manufactured with the SKI NCM9 Lithium-ion (90%Nickel/5% Cobalt/5% Manganese) battery pack from their new factory in Georgia.
I do not believe that this is the same power pack used in the prototype. It might explain why miles per...
