  1. ✅ 7/11/22 Lightning Build Week Group

    Just chatted @Ford: My Production Date was 07/16 Message: It looks like your Ford 2022 F-150 is in Production. When an order is "In Production," it is being manufactured at one of our factories. Production is anticipated to be completed between Aug-07--13-2022. For general status updates, you...
  2. EV Tax Credit Expansion Deal Reached by Senate

    Pity the poor guy who orders his 2023 Lightning Lariat in August with options at $80,001.00, the Government decides that figure is the established MSRP at a date after he cannot change his order. If his truck comes before New Years he can take $7,500 off his taxes. If it comes New Year's Day he...
  3. EV Tax Credit Expansion Deal Reached by Senate

    I say that our orders Are Not Binding in most cases because we have the right to refuse delivery. I am not an attorney but I would think that takes away the "Binding" thingee. The point is that very few people need worry about exercising the "Option" that is offered under the "Transition Rule"...
  4. EV Tax Credit Expansion Deal Reached by Senate

    It is important to understand what the "Transition Rule" (Page 387 of the proposed law) actually says. It will not apply to anyone who has actually ordered a 2022 Lightning. We all will go under the old law, which gives us up to a $7,500 Tax Credit (Not Rebate) based on Taxes owed for 2022 and...
  5. 2023 ordering date Open 8/9/22 - Scheduling 9/1

    Under the new (proposed) law in order to get credit the Used Vehicle must be 2 years or older. Sorry, Flippers.

    Unfortunately, there is no way for the Average Joe (or Josephine) to get a truck directly from the factory. We are limited by the chain of custody requirements (unless you hold a Ford approved dealer's license). There are also days when I go shopping at Krogers to buy their week old milk or...
  7. ✅ 7/11/22 Lightning Build Week Group

    We need to all have some patience now. I believe we are in the midst of a another transportation SNAFU not entirely Ford's fault. They seem to be happening in waves. As far as concerns the Dearborn plants, Ford is also trying to churn out the remaining 2022 Ice F150s and get them shipped out...
  8. Potential future EV credit changes [NO POLITICS]

    Sign a binding contract to buy after Jan 1, 2022 and up to the date the law goes into effect and you can go under existing law including no MSRP Limit and the tax credit applies to your 2022 tax liability (No Rebate; Only a Tax Credit). Or You can option to go under the new law and the truck...
  9. Potential future EV credit changes [NO POLITICS]

    The way I read this is the Transition Rule only applies to trucks placed in service on or after the day the new law is enacted if they were purchased before the law was enacted. Trucks we are now driving must go under the old law (including no limitation on MSRP, a tax Credit not a rebate, no...
  10. Potential future EV credit changes [NO POLITICS]

    Edit Note: There are newer threads that discuss the BBB Plan but I have chosen to add my comments here because this older thread covers the same questions that were being discussed way back when, when we thought BBB was dead and buried. The announcement today that the new, revised, Build Back...
  11. ✅ 7/11/22 Lightning Build Week Group

    This is Taxman's latest Chart. The "IN Production" entries, which began on 07-11-22, represented the first expanded production week and we would hope that the process to "Built" status would speed up. Under the old schedules the "In Production to Built" was about 12 days. If there has been no...
  12. ✅ 7/18 Lightning Build Week Group

    Greetings 7/18 Group Members from Your Future from a 7/11 Group Member. :) Last week our Lightning Plant transitioned from a Three-Week "Down Period" during which older units were finished and things hanging were generally "Cleaned-Up". The Original Plant was expanded incrementally with...

    @Yellow Buddy - I believe your truck was to be blended Friday (mine was Thursday). I got my partial Pop early Saturday morning (no tear tag as yet) so I would have expected you to get yours this morning. Earlier in the week some were getting their pops the next day. My Tear has not yet showed...
  14. ✅ 7/11/22 Lightning Build Week Group

    I am hoping your shipping email will show up Monday. My Blend was 7/14 so I am running 2 days behind you. The truck bringing your Lightning to you in TENN might also bring mine to me in KY down either I65 or I75. :)

  17. Best Exterior Truck Cover (Not Tonneau)

    I hear all you City Folk saying just put in my garage (I call mine a "Barn" full of dusty hay, seed, and grain) or get out the hose and wash down in my driveway (My well water is chuck full of limestone particles and my "driveway" is a muddy pasture). I live in a slightly different universe than...
  18. Best Exterior Truck Cover (Not Tonneau)

    I will not use it until next week after Lightning delivery. I then can post pics. But it is more a factor of person height than bulk. It advises to throw middle of cover over the cab first then spread to the front and then the rear. I believe a taller person would have an easier time of this (I...
