Yes, but it's just called "Pro Power Onboard." The various outlets can be switched on or off through the Ford app regardless of the status of the door locks.

Some of the 26 may have made their reservation before you, but likely several of them were prioritized by the dealer and jumped ahead of you in line. It's really crappy that Ford allowed dealers to do that.

Correct, the current EV Credit is nonrefundable, which means it can only be deducted from taxes you actually owe (unlike a refundable credit, in which you get the whole amount regardless of what line 24 says). Line 24 is your tax liability, and therefore the maximum you can get back from the EV...

You can get the exact system timestamp of your reservation using the method described here: https://www.f150gen14.com/forum/threads/lightning-reservation-timestamp-how-to-find-yours.7596/

I mean, you can number the waves however you want, starting with 1 or 0 or whatever. It doesn't really change anything. The waves are occurring approximately every two weeks and the next folks that'll get to order will be up this week (including, I hope, me - I'll check with my dealer). Saying...

Not sure what that would even mean. Wave 2 already happened. Wave 3 is coming up soon, presumably on Thursday the 3rd.

My dealer in California had 1 in the first wave, and 4 in the second wave. I am number 8 on their list, so I hope to be in the third wave in less than a week!

It's a pretty safe assumption that the setup is the same. Ford kept as much of the vehicle as possible the same as the ICE version to reduce development time and costs.

Hell, I read the whole damn thing yesterday from another forum, and I don't see a Lightning EV in my driveway yet...what happened? :ROFLMAO:

Agree. Notice that even if you select the 312A package that includes the power tailgate, the computer generated image of your truck does NOT show the light bar on the tailgate. It DOES update the wheels in the image to the 20" carbonized gray wheels. It's not just defaulting to an XLT 311A...

Lightning McQueen was named after Steve. My current ride is named Steve, but not after him. It's just that the VIN starts with 5TEVN

Got the same email with the same $110,000 pre-approval amount. Come on, Wave 2!

The math isn't that straightforward. Drag is quadrupled when speed is doubled, but not energy use. Your calculations are assuming that aerodynamic drag is the ONLY consumer of energy, when the reality also includes the demands of acceleration, gravity (when going uphill), rolling resistance, and...

Did you do this? From the website that was linked: In the "Manage your data sharing" section within your privacy console, just turn Sustainable Charging Data and Location Sharing “ON”. You can opt out at any time.

And when I click that little blue arrow I get this: But clicking "configure" only gets me this: So we're getting close, but it looks like it's still being configured.

"Call Mr. Recharge, that's my name. That name again is Mr. Recharge."

The Lariat/Platinum tailgate has its reverse lights integral to the light bar, near the center. Unfortunately, it appears that swapping the Pro/XLT tailgate for a Lariat/Platinum one won't be easy or affordable. It requires swapping out the taillights, too. They are shaped to fit the tailgate so...

Sure, if you insist on comparing apples to oranges. If you do a fair comparison, though - of an EV truck to an ICE truck - the EV is going to be better. Coal is very quickly going away. Natural gas while not ideal, burns cleaner than gasoline, and large power plants don't have the same energy...

But you're talking about hooking the Lightning up to a gas generator, right? That would be far less efficient than just burning gas in an ICE F-150. You'd be doing WORSE by the environment. As others have said, just plan your routes, and you'll never need a generator.

Even in places that burn coal, EVs reduce carbon emissions over their lifetime compared to an ICE vehicle driving the same miles. In many places one can elect to get all of their electricity from renewables, reducing the total post-manufacturing greenhouse emissions to zero.
