I reserved mine as soon as the link became active, which was slightly before presentation started. Got 10803111.
Just received an email TODAY saying reservation number and time was confirmed. Anyone else getting these? No new info, still says ordering opens in āthe fallā.
I'm extremely excited for my Lightning, but an electric Bronco is what I really want. Almost went for a new one, but I just don't like the idea of burning gas while driving through nature. Excited to charge off solar and then go off road with a lesser impact.
Good for you. Iām not going to buy another pure-ICE truck that doesnāt do anything to help my kidsā or future grandkidsā futures. No to all dinosaur juice trucks.
Itās very possible they try to pull that. However, theyāve recently changed ownership and know 1) there are plenty of other dealers nearby that we can go to and 2) Iām not shopping for just one vehicle. Thinking itās just a āCYAā statement at this time. Everyoneās mileage will vary, but Iām...
Under-promise, over-deliver. Theyāre likely set on specifics but are probably giving some wiggle room. Seems like a big variation, however, so part of me wonders if there is a software display issue or battery pack that may not quite match what will go into production.
Should be able to switch to another dealer if they pull that without losing your spot. Emailed mine and theyāre saying no ADM at their location at this time.
Not sure what your "very limited EV study" is, but the Mach-E and many other EVs regularly exceed EPA range without even including the buffers. If Ford says 300 when the B&P tool goes online you should expect 300 except on extremely cold days. Even then it'll be far greater than 200. All of...
I'm not aware of any, but don't keep up on much outside of the PB 150 and Mach-E.
Iām thinking antimatter blue right now. Need to see it in person as itās supposedly way more black than the blue shown on the site.
Not to mention weāll probably be living with the ā22 Lightning for 18 months, maybe 2 years, or so before CT orders are delivered. We can only guess how much itāll be hamstrung or priced by then.
I had multiple screens going, was logged in, and had my reservation BEFORE anyone was presenting anything. My understanding from past couple launches is that the reservations are not sequential, but sharing as a potential data point. I sure hope that number is an indicator, however... very...
You can go below 15%, 10%, etc. There is a buffer in place to keep from damaging the battery. That 10-80% range companies quote is for DC fast charging to give you an idea of a refillable speed (in the Lightningās case 40 MINUTES). Capacity above that can be safely charged on L1 or L2 when...
This is what Iām counting on. We tend to enjoy camping in NW Arkansas and 200 miles will be plenty. Those mountain roads are fun to drive at about 55.
Btw, looking at the charging map on the Ford website shows basically nothing between Springfield, MO and anywhere weād want to go... until you...
