Hi - I measured my garage and it'll just fit the Lightning. However, the side with the deeper garage bay would require the drivers side door to open towards a wall. Not ideal. It would be easier to enter and exit the vehicle if I were to back in. It'll be a tight and difficult squeeze backing...

I'm in a similar position. I originally wanted the XLT Extended Range which was projected to be around 60k based on the summer survey. Now with the Tow Package added and the Extended Range it's about 75k. The Lariat ER which include the Tow Package is 77K. It makes no sense to get an XLT ER in...

My understanding of GVWR is it's just curb weight + payload. I guess if you increase the curb weight with the tow package, then maybe the GVWR goes up. I have a feeling the truck suspension can only carry 8550lbs total. The payload will decrease or increase across trims to maintain that number...

I'm not sure that's true. Look at the payload differences. The XLT and Lariat is 2000lbs. The platinum is 1500lbs. GVWR is determined by curb weight + payload.

Based on the attached screenshot from the leaked buyers guide, the GVWR of the extended range XLT is indicated as "up to 8550". What the hell is that? I have $7500 of state incentives tied to that 50lbs. How do I decide my options not knowing the actual GVWR?

I didn't a little more research on the plug type. All photos of the Lightning Pro Power Onboard show a 4 wire plug similar to what's provided with the F150 Powerboost. The Powerboost has a NEMA L14-30R outlet which is definitely a 240/120VAC receptacle. Considering there's already many 120VAC...

It all depends if the 240VAC plus is a 2 wire (two lines) or 3 wire (two lines and a neutral). I guess I'm not sure what the configuration of that outlet is. Good point.

As currently written, yes. Either way, I could use $7500 MA and $7500 Federal for a total of $15k of the price. That along with a 10k trade in, a nice $25k down payment.

I was referencing the federal incentive. Not state. Massachusetts is $7500. Federal is $7500 and possibly $12500 if the BBB passes.

I hope not! Ideally the official GVWR will be posted in the next week or two so that I'll know if I receive the MA incentive or not. Going to the ER would be a no brainer. It's basically a free upgrade in MA as long as the GVWR is above the minimum.

Im not referring to the federal credit. In Massachusetts, an EV truck weighing over 8500lbs would receive a $7500 state rebate in addition to any federal incentives.

The extended range may actually exceed 8500lbs as I hoped. This is the from the lightning pamphlet. It appears the ER GVWR is actually 8550lbs which would be assume.

I tend to agree. Unless there are other features like peak shaving implemented, I'm not sure I see the value of installing the inverter system from SunRun. I'd rather install a 30A, 240VAC plug to a manual transfer switch to power loads from the truck. The one plug can output I believe 7.2kW...

It's amazing how this memo comes out and my dealer claims none of it is true. I reached out to them complaining about the customer prioritization portion and they said that's not happening. They indicated I'm literally the first on the their list of multiple hundred and I'd be the first one to...

It would be especially if the federal incentive jumps up to 12,500. That's why I will struggle ordering the truck until all these incentives are finalized. It could be a PRO all the way to the XLT+ w/ ER depending on incentives.

I'm hopeful these numbers are rounded down to a flat 6400 or 6500 lbs. If it really is 2000 lbs of payload and I'm short by 1 lb, that would stink. It's difficult to order a truck that could have many incentives that are unknown. If the proposed federal EV credit of $12,500 and the truck...

In Massachusetts there's a rebate program for electric trucks that was recently introduced. The GVWR of the truck needs to be 8501 lbs or more to qualify for an additional $7500 incentive. I've seen reports that the Lighting weights 6500 lbs and has either a payload of 2000 lbs or 1800 lbs...

Selling my 2018 Volt for the Lightning. I've always wanted a truck, but I could never justify it. Now I can.

I struggle with this as well. We have a mini van for long family trips. The F150 would be replacing my Chevy Volt which has 36,000 miles on it with 92% which have been electric. So that means within the 50 mile range of the Volt, I've covered the majority of miles as an EV. The extra range for...
