  1. Did Bluecruise get deleted?

    I would really like to believe you but your statement does not agree with the Ford website. I really am going to need some official conformation before I sign on the dotted line.
  2. Did Bluecruise get deleted?

    I ordered a Lariat ER but when I looked on my order page it only says, "Ford Co-Pilot 360 Assist 2.0". The Ford configurator selects "Ford Bluecruise 1.0 with Active Park Assist 2.0 and Phone As a Key with Tow Technology Package" when you configure a Lariat with an ER battery. When you look at...
  3. Anything new in the mudflap department?

    I put mud-flaps on my old SUV because I didn’t like mud collecting on the running boards but I have decided against putting mud-flaps on my F150L. The F150L has a lot of features designed to reduce air resistance and improve range including design of the wheel wells and running boards. Molded...
  4. Unreliable Guess-o-meter, range anxiety, and the frigid weather...

    My F150L has not yet been delivered but I have never trusted the GOMs on the four EVs I have owned. I have grown to trust the A Better Route Planner, ABRP app. ABRP still requires a little calibrating but it allows me to more accurately calculate my range than the rules of thumb I was using...
  5. 180 Mile Real World Winter Range - Lariat ER

    The explanation of your experience doesn't give a real picture of anything. Just using the basic temperature rule of thumb of 1% range loss for every 4 degrees F indicates that you should have only lost 10% range with the temperature at 30 degrees F. To get such poor performance I suspect that...
  6. Get a Tesla for $7500 off plus 10k SC miles

    Who cares? I'm not even remotely interested in buying a Tesla. Even if I buy something different than a F150L, a Tesla would not even be on the list.
  7. Possible additional RV Park charging solution

    I have added over 200 locations to PlugShare. Many of those locations I added are RV parks that I found through RV Parky. If you only want to use RV Parks for charging that other EV owners have scouted out for you then by all means use PlugShare, but if you need to charge in a PlugShare charging...
  8. Possible additional RV Park charging solution

    If you want to verify if an RV park has 50 amp outlets before you go there you can filer for 50 amp outlets on RV Parky website or app (www.rvparky.com).
  9. Lightning tires and range

    Having owned four EVs, I get the point about maximizing range but remember the F150L is a 4x4 truck. Most people won’t be buying the F150L for its great range. I’m getting the ER battery on my F150L but I’m also planning to do some towing and I do occasionally take very long trips that may...
  10. Offroading the Lightning - Video

    I didn’t like the way they bad mouthed EVs for off-roading in the video. The problems they had related to charging appeared to be more about poor planning and lack of charging experience than actual problems with the F150L. They need to understand that in a few years they will all be driving EVs...
  11. 2023 Build & Price now Live on Ford.ca

    Lucky Larry is spreading some FUD. These numbers are not real.
  12. Tax Credits

    There is always hope as long the 2023 tax rules have not been finalized. I was expecting the tax credit to disappear for Ford anyway because Ford met the 200,000 unit benchmark so there’s more hope than before. But I was expecting Ford to lower prices once they met the benchmark to stay...
  13. Anyone reserving: GMC Sierra EV Denali today 10.20.22 @ 5PM ET ??

    I now have a build date of 1/16/2023 so it looks like I will be getting my F150L a year earlier than expected. I still have a reservation for the Silverado EV but, as they say, a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. There are still so many unknowns about the Silverado EV and GM has had...
  14. DFW Lightning owners

    I now have a build date of 1/16/2023. Stone Gray Metallic, Lariat ER with max tow package. I’m really looking forward to meeting up with other new F150L owners in the DFW area.
  15. âś… 1/16/2023 Lightning Build Week Group (MY2023)

    Just got my confirmation email from Ford and my Lightning is currently scheduled for production the week of January 16, 2023. I ordered a Lariat ER, Stone Gray Metallic, max trailer tow package and soft tonneau cover. I subtracted the power cord since I already have a NEMA 14-50 charger cord...
  16. Are order conversion rates absolutely horrific?

    You are suggesting a very complicated process for the IRS. The IRS hardly even looks at tax returns and to suggest that the IRS is going to look every EV submitted for the tax credit meets the cost threshold is unrealistic. Just like they do today, the IRS is going to look at a list to see if...
  17. Question about Order build deletions for 2023 Lightings as of 11/15/22

    I just placed my order yesterday. My configuration is already showing the onboard scales/smart hitch removal but not the heated steering wheel removal. I know from past experience some options can be purchased and installed later but I’m not sure that’s possible with these options. I guess we...
  18. Are order conversion rates absolutely horrific?

    I went ahead and placed my order for a Lariat ER. After I placed the order I realized that I should be eligible for the full $7,500 tax credit since I have a contract before the new tax credit law goes into effect in 2023. Maybe that’s why that’s why Ford is sending out order invitations much...
  19. Are order conversion rates absolutely horrific?

    I also just received an invite to order with an estimated delivery of Spring 2023. I reserved on May 29th, 2021, so figured I was around reservation #100,000 and wasn’t expecting delivery until the end of 2023 or 2024. My delivery also appears to be coming in unexpectedly early. With all the...
  20. Anyone reserving: GMC Sierra EV Denali today 10.20.22 @ 5PM ET ??

    I just placed a reservation for the Silverado EV but I still have my reservation for the F150L. The main reasons I’m interested in the Silverado EV are that it has 80 miles more range than the F150L and the Silverado EV can charge twice as fast. The Silverado is going to be much more expensive...
