TLDR; Ford had the opportunity to capture a Market with their revolutionary product, they have let everyone including their employees down. It's starting to be reported that most, if not all, of reservations have gone out. My thoughts are strictly geared to the consumer market (as Ford treats...

For clarification, that wire harness is plug n play for XLT 311A and Pro? Or are we still missing additional wires?

Wait, your center screen has been dead for 6 weeks?!?! Take it to the dealer (or have the dealer grab it from your place).

I would've disconnected the negative terminal on the LVB before I did anything else. It's essentially a full reset on all modules. It has been my first troubleshooting step and has fixed most (little) issues I've had. I understand this is a big issue.

Pro's with Tow Tech (like myself) have the 360 camera.

You should also tell them to clearly state to their customers what they have done to their truck. Having someone else be able to track my vehicle, at will, without my permission would piss me off.

I see what you're saying, however, they still went for a tradional truck appearance. They just added optimizations the Lightning was unable to since Ford (very smartly) built its first EV Truck on the F-150 platform. Currently the pickup truck is a moving brick. Cybertruck is the first pickup...

Demos and 2022's are being gobbled up, and it's only going to move faster with the price increase yesterday. It will be interesting to see what happens once the "deals" are gone.

Trucks need a radical redesign to increase efficiency. Us Lightning owners have all seen what wind resistance does to our range. That's the price we pay for having an EV Truck that looks like a traditional truck. A 400mi truck with a 131kW battery is possible. Tesla's currently can get...

The Lightning was an incredible package when pricing was first announced. It was an ok deal after the first round of price increases. I love the truck, but I'm not sure at current prices I would pull the trigger. It's no longer a no-brainer. At this point, the 2 models that I would look at are...

Fair points. Efficiency vs range is an interesting topic as manufacturers can offset poor efficiency (like the Lightning) via bigger batteries. I did forget to mention Tesla's notoriously bad build quality, expensive cost of insurance, and difficulty in repairs. Also, the Cybertruck will not...

The dealers get penalized if the name on the sale doesn't match the Reservation/Order. There may be a workaround if you title the vehicle in both your names, then turn around and redo the paperwork with the DMV later. I can see other issues if your truck qualifies for a tax rebate. The short...

It's worth the wait!

Ok. First of all, the 1000v architecture only helps those that DCFC often. A large subset of owners just charge at home and only DCFC on road trips. I charge at home for dirt cheap and enjoy the power architecture in the truck as it plays nicely with my manual home backup. Second of all...

Correct. However, this is not the modem you're describing. It is very much a non-factory installed aftermarket part. The OP's profile states he has an ER, and I see carpet...so definitely not a Pro.

As of early Feb 2023: Tesla's average profit margin: $9,574 Ford's average profit margin: -$762 Ford is a grossly mismanaged company.

Did you do this? And by reset code, I'm referencing the DTC code

...and your clothes dryer is actually available in the marketplace.

Agree. Still looks better than the CT though.

Ford is blaming supply chain, parts shortages, and market conditions for the price increase. What they won't say is that they are mismanaged and a lot of inefficiencies are driving profit margins way down. Chevy might be able to undercut them just by running their business more efficiently...
