  1. What is your thought about parts availability in the future?

    Just research. We know the cab and a lot of the interior is shared. Front suspension odds and ends some components are shared. Rear suspension is unique. Exterior body and chassis rails have been modified. Powertrain is unique. So this means a majority of major stuff is not interchangeable...
  2. What is your thought about parts availability in the future?

    Majority of body parts and chassis are unique to Lightning.
  3. Sensor Warning

    Mine does it all the time. Annoying. It clears up and then doesn't happen for a while. Mostly in wintertime, so I'm guessing salt, ice, grime, snow, etc.
  4. What is your thought about parts availability in the future?

    Its a gamble. The Lightning is a low production vehicle and they only keep a % of parts available for 10 years. How many videos have you seen online regarding older vehicles where the mechanic says the parts are not available anywhere!! And this was on normal production vehicles. I would...
  5. High public charger pricing - war on EVs?

    The cost is the cost. There are no efficiencies in local chargers being put in by gas stations unless its a branded corporate effort (Shell, Chevron). ChargePoint and the others have locked up Walmarts and Targets. Tesla has the most efficiencies locked up, as it their own projects. Most...
  6. High public charger pricing - war on EVs?

    Rates differ regionally in the US and depending on what utility serves the area. The costs you pay is directly related to the tariff the utility charges the customer, who then passes it on to you. Also, there might be 3 charging entities between the utility and you (utility cost, customer cost...

  8. Rear Tail Light Repair 2025 Lightning Flash

    Same thing happened to my right side rear light on my Flash. I am sure I will get dinged on the lease return for this.
  9. Embarrassed

    This morning on my way to work, I was stopped at a light and a Rivian pulled up next to me. He looked over and had a stupid grin on his face. Normally I am proud to drive the Lightning, but the truth be told, I felt a little wave of embarrassment flood over me. Like I was driving a flop of a...
  10. New Mexico Big Red is FOR SALE on CarsandBids

    As of two days ago, all Lightnings are now rare!!!!!
  11. VIN number for the last RED Platinum Lightning (1FT6W7L78SWG30746)

    Just because " Ford lost around $200K on each Lightning" doesn't means they will be very collectable. Not like I'm gonna put my Flash on Market Place for $272,000
  12. Important Update: Ford EV Roadmap & Future of F-150 Lightning (EREV Next Gen Model) - ⛔️ ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS

    Look at the industries you mentioned. Farming, good luck without them. Food chain collapses. HVAC, every fricking building in America has one. Electric trucks?? Who needs then, just the minorities in this group.
  13. Important Update: Ford EV Roadmap & Future of F-150 Lightning (EREV Next Gen Model) - ⛔️ ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS

    Of course its happening, but the people don't have a choice. You choose, want a "free market" or a "dictated market".
  14. Important Update: Ford EV Roadmap & Future of F-150 Lightning (EREV Next Gen Model) - ⛔️ ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS

    Well listing a communist country doesn't hold weight to your argument.
  15. Important Update: Ford EV Roadmap & Future of F-150 Lightning (EREV Next Gen Model) - ⛔️ ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS

    Here is the reality. No matter how much you disagree or are angry, it won't change the facts. 1. EVs cost too much 2. Drivers still have range anxiety. That wont change till range gets higher. 3. Infrastructure severely lacks in certain places in this country and charging prices are too...
  16. Considering switching back to the Model X. Realistic private sale value for my 2024 Lightning Platinum?

    I agree with your plan. I did the same with a 24 Flash, got a super good lease deal Xmas last year. Once lease is up, we'll see what the numbers say. However I am pretty sure I will turn it back in. I even thought about putting an Air Tag in it so I can find what car lot has it and pick it up...
  17. Farley says Ford is behind in EV (vs. Tesla and China) so Ford can't afford to "walk away from EVs."

    I am glad I leased mine. I saw all the "sketchiness" happening with EVs and debated buying or leasing. In the end got a great lease deal and will turn back in 36 months. Now I don't have to worry about owning a discontinued model and all the crap that goes along with that. If the world...
  18. Ford considers ending F-150 Lightning

    "Ford ‌declined to comment on the matter, but said that it was focused on producing gas and hybrid powered variants of its F-150 as it recovers from ⁠the fire at ‌Novelis." I think you all can read between the lines. They didn't even bother to refute what the WSJ said.
