It does seem like most of the used ER Lightnings that I see lately are in the $40-45k range right now regardless of trim (with miles under 50k). I do wonder what used prices will do now with all the trucks coming off lease and it being discontinued.

You just need one of these

Yeah warranty will be longer with the 2025. But feature wise I’m sure the platinum has a few more bells and whistles.

This is my theory on why Ford might be keeping the Lightning assembly line fairly intact for an EREV version, which in theory simply adds an engine into the frunk (or under under the bed, TBD). That way, if in 2-3 years solid state or some other significantly cheaper battery tech (sodium...

I just don’t believe Ford on this one. That is just an insane amount of money. Although none of us can prove it, they had to have allocated losses under the Lightning program that were barely/remotely associated with it so they could maximize the write off.

This is great stuff. I could envision parts of this used in a Lightning ad.

I had to stop reading when I reached $0.06 per kWh at home. I had to go for a walk to temper down.

I wonder if the very last Lightning to roll off the assembly line is still on a lot somewhere. Makes me kinda sad to know they couldn’t even celebrate the last one rolling out since they didn’t know it at the time. I heard they produced just shy of 100k Lightnings?

I think we all needed this slam dunk easy fix post after the big news this week.

Let’s not forget they also cancelled the e-transit van too.

If they can manage to place the onboard generator under the rear bed of the truck and not consume the frunk AND they allow drivers to turn off the onboard generator when not needed then in my opinion it’s at least worth a look. Scout motors placed their generator underneath the rear, so we know...

That’s the expectation anyways. It’s basically an EV and in theory it should run and drive and charge like any other EV. The key will be if Ford will give people the option to turn off the onboard generator when they know they don’t need the extra range. If you can do that, then you can drive it...

I appreciate the warning to periodically clean under the frunk area. Luckily I don’t drive much at all on dirt or gravel roads but if I did I’d be a little concerned about caked on dirt and dust on all those connectors too. I’ve kept all my previous vehicles for 15 to 20 years and speaking...

I’d say you now have some pricing leverage on that used purchase if there’s still time.

Do you know where the onboard generator will be located? And will there be a setting to be able to drive in pure EV mode with the generator turned off, which lets drivers choose when they need it or not?

I know everyone is freaking out right now, but I still feel confident Ford will support our Lightnings for the 10 year period as promised. If I had bought a Rivian or Lucid and they cancelled the EV, I’d be a lot more worried about future support guarantees.

I just want to know if the EREV engine is going to replace the amazing frunk or if it’s going where the spare tire goes?

Good to know. I did wonder about it causing issues.

No PPOB for me either (6.3.0 on iOS). But at the risk of jinxing it, my PAAK has been working way better on this app version. 🤷‍♂️

So this Z-flash thing works on a Lightning? Does it do anything with the light bars in the front and rear?
