[EDIT: found conf email]
Am I remembering/understanding correctly that with the below order number I’ve got a few years (or at least many monthsleft to wait 🤣
Order Number:
FAE:90034541
Ford site says August, but I presume that’s a Ford-esque optimistic estimate
I’ve not been following...
if that’s in reference to
I guess all I have to say is:
I don’t feel I’m doing anything more/less than I’ve done with the Lightning for 2 years
sift through the brand tribalism, FUD, and claptrap to understand what these trucks really are/arent
if that same tribalism/FUD/claptrap makes me...
Ah, my purchase was pre MSRP increases. I didn’t have to contend with it.
Gordon is the head guy, and I’ve found him to be simultaneously kind and old school car sales person trust but verify. In all, I think there are far worse folks than Gordon to deal with.
great write up, and thank you. I’m on the other end of the spectrum, taking delivery about the same time as you, but with almost exactly only 10% of the mileage
did want to chime in on the quote above
I feel like this is something we BEV truck owners need to better understand and explain to...
@ me, too
it’s been in the shop for it and they just say they can’t find codes
@Ford Motor Company - everyone’s air dam glitches constantly, please send help
does the truck know it’s a hi-lo?
Because the towing range hit isn’t weight, it’s drag
a hi-lo’s relatively low drag makes is an excellent choice for EV towing
Y’all are wild for thinking Ford is looking to have multiple, overlapping, platforms of BEV trucks.
Meanwhile, Ford’s spent the past 10 years narrowing its focus and increasing scalability. Developing multiple overlapping platforms and building/retooling multiple plants for those platforms...
I think what’s the confusion is you talk about a “3hr drive time” but you’re really describing a 4-hour+ real world drive with the middle portion consisting of a 3hr stretch of 75mph sustained hwy driving?
no EPA rating contemplates this sort of conditionality on range, ICE included
The...
under what real world conditions, exactly, is this not presently possible in an ER Lightning?
I’ll admit I live in TX, so it never really gets below 30° - but even then I believe I could comfortably make the 3hr drive from NW Austin to SW Houston no problem “doing 70”
In part because a drive...
23H01 is the internal recall code for the battery module issue
contact the Ford rep, not a dealership
it should go much better for you
May even come with some perks
a rising [interest rate] tide raises all [used] boats :D
but also, yes, demand for new BEVs is skyrocketing into limited supply, which helps to generally stabilize used prices - especially for Tesla, who makes very few between-year iterations within its models
But I suspect 7 year old Chevy...
because it doesnt
for 90%+ of driven retail vehicle/consumer drives in the U.S. (eg commuting to work, etc.) people are able to drive however the hell they want
otherwise, if people dont understand how EPA ratings work, or the basics of driving a BEV shaped like an ice cream van, then they’ve...
no, Ford has been very clear and careful in its wording around this
the new, ground-up BEV truck will be an “F-series” truck, as is every full-sized truck Ford makes. we don’t know what the “series” badging/nomenclature will be. But this makes sense, insofar as the new BEV truck will be more...
