Good analysis on your part and I'm science minded. Unfortunately my schedule changes based on customers, but I made it work and it did when it was not cold.
When the temperature dropped, the game changed and I could no longer predict the outcome.
Agreed, every new vehicle takes a hit and I'm okay with that. The numbers were being shared to inform you all & to not complain about the depreciation. The vastness between the offers surprised me a bit.
EV's have a following and there are loyalists. Economists inside of car companies and...
Definitely know the people that make money off vehicles match those who time the market successfully, so not that. My name was on the waiting list for 2 years and nobody can time that.
The vehicle was purchased because it had the better range of most EV's & I was trying to go green for the...
I really like how you pleasantly conveyed through words the positives of our shared experiences. (Do you write for the Atlantic?)
Agreed, we all knew buying this was a risk and each of us did it for a reason; trying to be greener for the planet, saving money on gas, or maybe the fun stuff...
Maybe pulled a utility trailer with it about 10 times and never above 2000 pounds.
Easily drove 200+ miles on most days around 75mph when on the Interstate.
Yes, the weather. I was coming home from ORD & the "50 mile range" warning came up and I was 30 miles from home. (Been there many times...
Thank you, but it was fine. Overall very positive and not turned off to trying again. Like I said, 95% of the time it worked just like an ICE. But I thought the high heat would have been similar to the cold, but that's not the case when I was blocking an intersection with a dead truck.
That...
Good for you on the price drop and the market will settle to it's equilibrium.
95% of the time, the truck fit me just fine and the remaining 5% was manageable. But with the cold coming, no way.
Enjoy your new truck, great product.
After 6 months of driving my Lightning Platinum - I'm out.
Paid $100,000 for it on Memorial Day and received a trade in on Thanksgiving for $64,500. (Other trade in offers were $45,000, $53,000, and $59,000) Not good.
I put 15,000 miles on the truck in 6 months and loved the ride and...
Yes, agreed - but none of the dealerships in my area have a high speed charger because they have yet to upgrade or get the 80 Amp charger. All they have is the little one (32 Amp) that came free with the truck.
I'm pretty sure it's not $1000 per hour, maybe $100 per hour.
When purchasing any new vehicle, I always get a 3rd key and I think they charged me $200. When the new key came in, it took them 20 minutes to program it. Wasn't a big deal.
Hello,
My 2023 Ford Lightning was purchased (cash) over Memorial Day weekend and on July 15th the price dropped $10,000 because of Tesla's truck coming out.
Today when calling Ford's Customer Relationship number (800-392-3673), I made it to the Marketing Department of all places.
When...
