Hi 6/13 gang, I sadly must resign my membership in this exclusive club. Some of you may recall that I had reservations on both a Lariat ER with $35K markup (inherited an abandoned order) and a well-optioned Lariat PowerBoost at sticker (with no options deleted). The PowerBoost arrived late...

I forget, was there any conventional wisdom on what it means to have been in "Shipped" status for multiple days before getting demoted back to "Built."? My truck appears to be regressing in status. A few more days and they'll be pulling it back apart on the assembly line. :rolleyes: I...

NOT shipped! RIP.

Customer: Do you sell trucks? Ford: We sell forbidden objects from places men fear to tread. We also sell trucks with trunks in the front, which we call frunks! Customer: Well I need a truck. Ford: Take this Lightning, but beware... it comes with a terrible wait. Customer: That's...

Couple guys here hooked me up with this link: https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/threads/united-road-logistics-faq.33829/ That gets you into the car carrier company that handles the vehicles from the terminal railyard to the dealerships. So I can see what's waiting at the rail stations here in my...

For what it's worth, the railyards I'm monitoring in MA just got a relatively big infusion of vehicles yesterday headed to the two dealerships whose inventory I'm tracking. Just for two dealerships, here's what's awaiting the final leg of the journey: F150 ICE 8 Mustang 3 Maverick 1...

I agree that the recalculation being so overly optimistic is quite unsatisfactory. That should've recalculated very quickly after the first 5-10 miles to compensate for the new vehicle dynamics. Luckily this is probably something they can refine with OTA updates. I've got a deposit on a...

Physics doesn't take a day off, so this isn't terribly surprising I suppose. ICE trucks overcome this by sheer volume of energy applied, and the ease of which that energy is replenished. A 36-gallon ICE F-150 loads up on what? 1200 kWh of energy? Almost 10 times the energy of a Lightning ER...

Hmm, yeah, I figured there was probably no way to detach and then reapply. I suspect it'll be a LONG while before there's any Lightning-specific surplus parts.

It's going to be a funny plot twist to see Tesla owners spitefully blocking off access for the new EV pickup trucks to their superchargers after years of a$$hole pickup truck drivers abusing teslas. The Tesla Empire Strikes Back

Hi gang, Have any of you either wrapped your new Lightnings in PPF or considered it? I was toying with the idea of a full PPF, maybe even XPEL Stealth for a satin finish, but am worried about the Lightning badging, particularly the lettering on the bedside. Anyone with more experience have a...

Shipped!

Lol, someone over on the f150lightning subreddit found your truck and posted it, shocked at the markup.

Wow, that camp kitchen setup in the bed wall is wild.

(haha. Thanks, might shoot you a PM.)

Well my hardcore negotiation tactics really talked them down: I strong-armed them into throwing in a spray-in bed liner. So I’ve got that goin’ for me, which is nice...

Based on what we've seen in the forum traffic so far, it does seem like 12V system is the place to start. Maybe a very easy fix in the offing. Amazingly frustrating that the dealer seems to be impotent to perform any basic troubleshooting. Barring that, as others have suggested, these things...

Hah, sorry, I was unclear. I meant that I was justifying the ADM marked up Lightning cost by mentally comparing its capabilities to a Model X. (Not actually buying a Model X; just the mental gymnastics one does to swallow ADM Lol)

It IS. And no, doesn't apply to powerboost. But I have a couple things working against me on that. I inherited this abandoned Lightning order due to dumb luck and a diligent internet business rep. So I have a deposit securing the truck, but for practical purposes this order became dealer...

6/17 blend, in production 6/23. No "Built" update yet. :( This is now the worst drag race ever between a Lightning and a Powerboost. :cautious: Whichever arrives first wins. Wife is really anxious about full electric (I'm all in, even with grotesque ADM), and I'm anxious about the...
