Off the lot you can still get the federal rebate. Demand will tank at these prices after 12/31. Ford is aware of the market and is pricing the lower trims accordingly to align with demand. Why let your dealers scalp when you can do it yourself?
When I called around for quotes Travelers told me they'd pay 20% over MSRP for a replacement if the same or newer model year truck wasn't available. That looks pretty good right about now.
The golden goose MY22 PRO would've been $45,919 with Pro Power + Max Tow with dest/delivery, -$9,750 for my state + federal tax credits. That same truck is now over $60K. Ford shot obviously themselves in the foot with the price point, which was immensely dumb when you're the first to market and...
Ford is too lazy to improve FordPass UI or implement QoL improvements but has actively thrown the kitchen sink at limiting API calls to kill third-party integrations. Great to know where their priorities lie. Next they'll have the truck phone home its As-Built data and void the warranty of...
Eversource is literally doubling our service rates here Jan 1 to $0.24/kWh before their owned tacked-on delivery charges (we'll land somewhere around $0.37/kWh). People who say they'll save on gas by going EV have never been to CT. Gas was $2.93 this morning. At the new rates it will actually be...
Interesting to watch everyone's demeanor change once they get the truck.
Feel like more articles like this need to make the rounds, Ford hasn't taken nearly enough flack for just how poorly the rollout of these vehicles has been outside of our little echo chamber here. I don't think a good...
Had one of my wish list alerts go off, on sale for $54 USD instead of the regular $80. Figured I'd spread the word if anyone else had any interest in it. The MX+ is also 20% off if you need CAN, but I don't believe that model works natively with ABRP.
Not affiliated in any way...
Convoy as well. Can we still expect 6-8 weeks from blend or have things improved? Currently sitting in a credit union for pre-approval. Unfortunately they only lock rates for 60 days so I might have to defer a bit longer Currently looking at 3.24%
/48mo, best I've been able to find.
Twitter is an absolute cesspool, I solely have one for blasting companies to do the right thing. Really sad that this is what our society has come to but it's alarming how well it works. Hopefully you don't have to go nuclear and your dealer does the right thing but it is an option on the table...
I would tweet the picture of your truck sitting in the dealer lot to a bunch of prominent Ford reps with something along the lines of "would love to take delivery of my new F150 Lightning but Ford dealers don't honor original order price". Super petty but really nothing to lose, we owe this...
Pretty pathetic we were expected to get dated WBDO order sheets from the dealer at order anticipating Ford would jack up the price afterwards. Ford then fails to provide clear price protection information to buyers allowing dealers to feign ignorance about the difference from order to sticker...
My dealer also went MIA when I asked about the $5,000 second price bump. They'll be getting a rebate from Ford, I really don't understand why this transaction has lacked so much transparency. Can't wait for both to come off post-tax just to screw me one more time. Not to mention I already lost...
@sotek2345 I'd escalate and start nagging a bunch of Ford's public facing Twitter folks about it. Sadly becoming the only way to get things fixed these days. Unacceptable for @Ford Motor Company to still not have this working consistently with colder months approaching.
@Ford @mrlevine @ebergg...
Thanks for the info. Haven't seen it really discussed before but I imagine that will result in some serious winter tow limitations. For us snowmobilers/ice fishermen it's not ideal returning to the truck parked at a lake/trailhead after a few hours to find we're down 30+% power. Something to...
Does anybody know what the ideal operating temperature range of the batteries is while driving? At 0C ambient temperature, generally how long does it take to get batteries up to temp and restore full power? With how intermittent preconditioning seems to be for some it'd be nice to not have a...
If I didn't have a MY22 price match on my MY23 PRO I would walk without hesitation. Too much on the horizon to drop a premium on a truck they keep pulling features out of. That paired with the loss of rebates and incentives, the value proposition just isn't there anymore. And that's completely...
