OK - Let's see if I have this right.
With my $80K Lightning Lariat ER I have a giant 131kW Battery in my driveway.
The Grid goes down and I want to use my stored Lightning DC electricity in my house.
Ford gave me a "Free" Ford 80a Charge Station Pro cord to get the juice to the house.
Now I...
Quoting your annual electric usage means very little unless calculations are also added in for battery storage and/or net metering (including differing rates for Time-of-Use and net vs. gross rates including taxes, fees, & surcharges by the utility). The system you buy may produce 10 kw/8 hour...

What is an SREC?
Solar renewable energy certificates (SRECs) are a performance-based solar incentive that allow you to earn additional income from solar electricity generation. As a homeowner, you can earn one SREC for every megawatt hour...
The whole system of solar is very confusing and differs by both state and utility so you have to do quite a bit of digging and research before committing $$$. From experience DO NOT BELIEVE what every salesman and company tries to feed you to sell you something that will not fit.

Lots of discussion about using your new Lightning to power your home. But this would require an upfront investment (SunRun or Other) of up to $40,000 for an 8-10 KW System. A system of this size would be required for a larger home. If you do not buy it for cash you will also pay interest and...

The only ways Ford Options makes sense are:
1. You cannot qualify for a higher monthly payment because of income, debt, or credit score; or

JUST SAYING::unsure:
Are you taking delivery of a 2022 or 2023 Ford Lightning this year?
If the answer is "Yes", then consider yourself among the "Elite". Not just because you are Lucky to get one, but because you are Lucky your budget can afford the price.

I have sent a request for info on whether they plan on offering a hard cover (color matching) option for the 2022 Lightning 5.5 ft. bed in the future.

I will post their reply when received.
Timing is important. The FOMC will meet June 15th and they have already said they will raise rates by 1/2% so we can expect auto loan rates to increase by a like amount soon after. If the current rate can be locked now you will save a good amount of interest over the next 60 months.

If you’re buying a Lightning, chances are good that you’re planning on financing.
But before you sign the papers at the Dealership, you might want to consider if you can get better interest rates and lower your payment by financing your next car through a bank or credit union. Waiting to find...
I think the real reason for slow Production to Deliveries is now becoming evident.
Ford has chosen to take the heat by holding back that final step and doing hands-on testing on a batch of customer and mannequin Lightnings.
It is exciting to be a very early Lightning Owner but you guys are...

There are several variables that I have not yet seen discussed.
One variable that might be holding up deliveries could be is how the customer will pay for their Lightning the day it arrives at the dealer. Nowhere has there been any leak about the final details of the Ford Options Financing Plan...
