  1. Got order invite today (4/12/2022)

    I believe that the tax credit expires 2 quarters after a company hits the 200K production limit for EV so there is some buffer. However I'm not sure where Ford is on qualifying EVs.
  2. ✅ 8/8 Lightning Build Week Group

    Wave 6 Platinum ordered 4/22/22 build date updated today to 8/22/22
  3. ICED BLUE SILVER F-150 Lightning Photos & Club

    I was thinking iced blue silver metallic resembled Robocop blue. After seeing a Mach-e in the same color I think a better color marketing name for Ford is Liquid Metal Blue since it chameleons between silver and blue depending upon the lighting.
  4. What software updates should Ford add to the lightning?

    I think this is one of the most important software features that needs added. I guess it hides the mess many chargers are in right now but it is critical to know what you are getting into car to plan stops especially since the charge rate changes as the battery hits different percentage levels.
  5. Lightning will switch to LFP Batteries (Lithium Iron Phosphate) says Jim Farley

    Here is the full transcript from the Ford 1Q earnings call, I don't see any immediate changes this year based on the discussion other than it's likely the fleet lightnings SR are already LFP as was previously announced and Ford will likely add a lower performance model with cheaper battery as...
  6. Lightning will switch to LFP Batteries (Lithium Iron Phosphate) says Jim Farley

    I'm beginning to think that these LFP batteries will be used in commercial fleet Pro models with short range. I believe Ford announced these last May and calls them IonBoost Pro lithium Ion Phosphate. Ford would dramatically have to change the specs of the other higher end extended battery...
  7. Lightning will switch to LFP Batteries (Lithium Iron Phosphate) says Jim Farley

    It's a bit concerning they are changing battery technology in the middle of a ramp up. Seems like a recipe for disaster unless this was the plan all along. This LFP battery technology could potentially add a second to the 0-60 times, give poor cold weather performance, increase charging times...
  8. Do EVs really save $$ - Our results with a Mach-E

    OK, here in Orange County in NY the delivery fee is 0.15/kWh and then add on the electricity cost so quite a bit higher. So mileage varies! In any event being able to subsidize the electricity cost with solar is possible with an electric car but you can't create gasoline ;)
  9. Do EVs really save $$ - Our results with a Mach-E

    Thanks for the cost analysis. Could you check on the "Cost of home electricity - between 13 cents and 15 cents per kWhr". We also live in NY and the cost of electricity is 13 cents for APril but the cost of delivery is 12 cents for total of 25 cents per kWh. In February it was 22 cents for...

    Are there two iced blues in that video?
  11. ICED BLUE SILVER F-150 Lightning Photos & Club

    I'm one of those people who loves any color as long as it's blue. I had a hard time deciding on one of the blue colors. Finally found all three in one dealer 100 miles away that I visited. The iced blue I saw was a 2022 Mach-e. My concern was whether the Iced blue was blue enough. One...
