Wait, what? No sliding rear window on the XLT? WTF Ford!? I know I'm beating a dead horse here regarding sparse trim options, but it seems every so often I'm STILL finding things Ford is doing to weasel people into a higher trim. Highly disappointed. To bring this back on topic - yeah...

Totally fair. Lots of false advertising - or misleading at best.

That white truck is a base XLT (based on the bumpers, front light bar, and wheels) - and it has a standard tailgate without the rear light bar. There were questions about whether this would be the case or not. I haven't seen any evidence regarding the tailgate on the XLT Premium tho. Could...

Iced Blue Silver (as well as Iconic Silver) look way better on the Mach E than they do on the Lightning, IMO. The curved body and styling really show off the depth of the paint and metallic effect. The Lightning is just too flat all around - they really removed a lot of the styling from the...

Speaking of license plates, I wanted "WARP 9" or "ENGAGE" but sadly any variation of those is already taken in MI.

Yeah I'm not expecting any payback at all. I'm just a nerd and I love seeing data, so it will be fun to see where the energy is going in my house. Mostly it'll be nice to see when my kids leave the lights on in their bedroom all day ?. But seriously a friend of mine did mention you can see if...

I went with the Leviton smart panel system: https://www.leviton.com/en/products/residential/load-centers/the-leviton-smart-load-center It takes regular or smart breakers. The regular ones are pretty cost effective. The smart ones are considerably more. They are pretty cool though, they...

Ah, the forum's favorite YouTuber! ? Some of his stuff is ok.

Uhh, yeah, sorry... A chart from a LEAKED PowerPoint ONE DAY before orders open is not "being up front" about production. Being up front would have been to publish this during the reveal, or at least last summer. The issue is ford's ridiculous communication and expectation management. Or...

Next up: Wave 3 thread "LIGHTNING XLT SOLD OUT" Seriously though, really hope you enjoy it :) Congrats!

I'm just gonna buy some time and get a Powerboost. Just gotta get SWMBO onboard :) There will be lots more competition in 5 years, and maybe better batteries by then too.

If it's a black truck, Zero could work. It's got that ninja ring to it.

I'd call it Vanish. Like my chances of getting a Pro.

It sounds to me like your dealer was planning on a bigger number of lightnings available to them through their allocations from Ford and reservations assigned to them were easy money. Now that Ford is giving out one lightning per wave they have less money coming in and are trying to make that...

What a complete joke. Pro sold out in wave 1. This is not a $40,000 truck; it's a loss leader.

lol, I don't trust that B&P at all... I wouldn't count your chickens before they hatch. "As it were..."

My biggest disappointment is the ER entry price. I'm also irked by the bundling of features and exorbitant price bumps for said bundles.

My reasons are: 1. resale with 7.2kW generator (want as much as I can get for my Lightning whenever it becomes affordable to me!). 2. 7.2kW generator - will be nice to still have home backup, and use it camping 3. I'm about 60% city driving currently, and empty or with just a couple kids for...

Guys I'm leaning towards the dark side... getting pretty comfortable with the idea of a Powerboost. $55-60k for a very well equipped truck. Can't afford the $74k minimum extended battery and I'm just too nervous about the 230mi (ideal conditions) standard battery. I'm gonna keep a very close...

My electrician even suggested this, but my panel is in a finished basement on a weird framed bump-out on an exterior wall... it would require quite a bit of work to stuff another panel in that area. I also wasn't quite sure how it would work with a solar system or battery system. For me anyway...
