Guys like me who already have a whole-home Generac and wanted to use the lightning as a truck and not a generator are still bitterly disappointed by Ford's bait and switch.
My disappointment? Getting psyched for ER only for it to start at nearly $75k, then convincing myself that I can make do with a pro only for Ford to yank the option out from under me. At this point, there is nothing that hasn't disappointed me.
A couple of weeks ago, I started a thread titled "Ford's epic lightning bait and switch is complete (the official "I'm out" thread)." As many of you pointed out, I was wrong, but not for the reasons given in the thread. I thought introducing a long-range truck at nearly $75,000 while we were...
I have stated twice in this thread that I am a day 1 reservation holder. I am listed on this forum's own spreadsheet as a reservation holder (filled in many months ago). My post history from the time I signed up until the build-and-price tool went live clearly illustrates my intention and...
I was in. Day one reservation. Nearly $75k for an XLT with 300 miles of range took me out. This was simply a thread for like-minded people to say, "I'm out." You guys turned this into another multi page Tesla v. Ford thread, not me.
The issue for me is that from day one, the lightning was advertised as "starting under $40,000 with up to 300 miles of available range". In fact, google that line and I bet you get thousands of results. Of course, everyone knew that the 300 mile range version would be an additional cost, but a...
I've been excited to own a Lightning since 5/19/21 when I placed my reservation, even checking daily for any available updates. We were led to believe that a car company had finally created an affordable EV truck for the masses. For me it comes down to one fact: No one will be able to buy an...
I agree about the two separate pictures being a bad comparison, but I was hoping that maybe someone caught the two colors together at one of the press/early access events. It's also my understanding that iced blue metallic has already hit the streets on the mach-e.
I'm torn between these two colors and I don't trust computer generated images to help me make a final decision. Does anyone have a picture of an iced blue silver metallic lightning next to an iconic silver metallic lightning? Or, failing that, perhaps a picture of an iced blue Mach-E next to an...
