  1. ? Official Info: F-150 Lightning Reservations to Order Conversion & Invitation Process. Dealer Pricing Options

    Go to your account on Ford.com and your reservations/orders tab. post your reservation number here and we can surmise roughly where you are on the 200,000 list. I reserved toward the end of day one presentations and received 10826299, lowest reported around here was in the 1081XXXXX range I...
  2. ? Official Info: F-150 Lightning Reservations to Order Conversion & Invitation Process. Dealer Pricing Options

    The way this reads it does guarantee they get their order built instead of one already in the line. It won’t affect a dealers allocation so say they have 50 reservations and you hold number 10. Let’s also say they get an allocation from ford for 10 MY2022 trucks. If they prioritize a big...
  3. ? Official Info: F-150 Lightning Reservations to Order Conversion & Invitation Process. Dealer Pricing Options

    Spoke with my sales guy, he escalated to the sales manager who was aware of the memo and said for their Houston based dealer they will not be moving anyone up the priority ladder. Also confirmed I am 14th with 367 reservations so hope that means good things.
  4. Battery Theft

    risk/reward is key. Cat theft is quick and pretty untraceable for the most part. Only way to cross reference the cat and vehicle is to match cut marks on the exhaust. battery theft at least early on will be low reward. While the pack is valuable it is mostly valuable as an assembly, they won’t...
  5. Uh, Oh... looks like the EV tax credits are hitting an obstacle

    wonder if you can time out the offending posters instead. Put them on a 7 day or 14 day post restriction, leave the civilized discussions to the rest of us.
  6. Lightning XLT / Pro rear tailgate mods

    had a boss that traded in his Land Rover Discovery for an Aston Martin DB9. Always joked with him he went from the least reliable manufacturer to the second least reliable. Tried to convince him to keep both since odds would be one of them would be in the shop on any given day.
  7. Lightning XLT / Pro rear tailgate mods

    cooled seats, LIFE CHANGER! South Texas here and I've turned on the heated seat feature maybe two times a year. I use the AC seats almost everyday. I ended up not getting a Jeep Gladiator bc I didn't want to sweat my a$$ off, Katzkin at the time couldn't confirm a cooling seat option for their...
  8. Uh, Oh... looks like the EV tax credits are hitting an obstacle

    So the US too? Again we export quite a bit of crude. Not through NOC's like many of the OPEC members but the IOC's are certainly benefiting from higher crude prices as well. Personally I believe somewhere in the $60-70/bbl is ideal. Allows good capital investment opportunities and those NOC's...
  9. Lightning XLT / Pro rear tailgate mods

    Aftermarket will catch up to it soon after release I'm sure. Same as the grill swaps to mimic the Raptor format from years ago.
  10. Uh, Oh... looks like the EV tax credits are hitting an obstacle

    So we are right near net zero on import/export mix. The oil we import is primarily lower quality and lower priced crude, Canada being our largest source. We haven't sent a dime of money to Venezuela for oil imports since 2019 due to serious sanctions. The best part is we can import for lower...
  11. Six 2022 F-150 Lightnings spotted charging during testing, w/ first Oxford White look

    Dude said "F it, these are getting crushed in a few months anyway" and Mall-Crawled to show off the suspension flex. Guy probably drives a Jeep Wrangler or Bronco in his personal time. What is a handicap accessible EV charger anyway? Quick search of the Tesla forum and there is great debate on...
  12. F-150 Lightning will feature aluminum battery enclosure built by Magna [w/ video]

    exactly, aluminum is offering the best weight to strength ratio for a mass produced structure right now. I’m really intrigued to see what Tesla’s gigapress will do with their battery casting. With Fords volume plan I’m surprised they don’t figure out an extrusion/pressed version of this assembly...
  13. How To Configure the Lightning For A Tax Credit

    I pay over 10,000 but we also don’t have state or local income taxes and I live in a high tax location. School district alone is assessed at $1.2101 per $100. Also have levee district and municipal district taxes.
  14. How To Configure the Lightning For A Tax Credit

    Not what I said, needing $80k in property tax or local/state tax writeoffs will only apply to the upper of the upper 1%. Capping SALT at $40-50k would be grabbing most of the targeted 'under $400k married filed jointly' tax brackets. NY has one of the highest SALT eligible rates at 13% so that...
  15. How To Configure the Lightning For A Tax Credit

    current estimates put Ford hitting 200,000 cap sometime next year, possibly as late as Q4 depending on delivery delays. They would have 2 quarters post-200,000 before phase out begins so a good portion of first day reservations should see the 7500 discount if BBB dies.
  16. How To Configure the Lightning For A Tax Credit

    Did you see the proposal to lift SALT from $10k to something like $80k also got added. The only people needing $80k in state or local tax write off are the upper 1% or smaller.
  17. F-150 Lightning EV Tax Credits & Rebates - Discussions & Predictions

    You should be able to exclude a majority of that, 500k profit excluded in home sale revenue if you are filing married jointly and it is your primary residence.
  18. 80A circuit question

    We have a portable backup generator since we are near Houston and power outages related to storms (or freezes now) are common place. I am looking forward to the backup option from the Lightning for temporary power restoration (under 2 hours) before I have to drag the generator out and hook...
  19. F-150 Lightning EV Tax Credits & Rebates - Discussions & Predictions

    Similar story with my Kia Stinger GT2. Went with a dealer that didn’t even know there was a lease discount since most of their buyers all purchase. Worked the deal upfront with the sole discussion of no financing discounts. Ended up adding $9,000 off for their lease, issue was Kia money factor...
