When I bought our 2924 Lightning I was at the dealer looking to buy a Mach-e. I’m a big guy and getting into and out of the Mach-e wasn’t as easy as our Tesla Y. Ford had huge incentives on Lightnings so we ended up swapping our 23 Lightning Lariat for a 24 Platinum.
I can’t...
We bought 2 new Tesla Model Y Junipers last month. Our Lightning wasn’t driven much in the last month because we wanted to get familiar with the Tesla tech and their Full Self Driving (FSD) features that Tesla included free for 30 days. We’ve put a little over 1000 miles on the Teslas and got...
After a LVB disconnect you may need to reset the Fronk if it doesn’t close when button is pushed.
Just slowly manually lower the fronk and when it’s all the way down the power latch will pull it closed. Then you should be set.
In rural downtown where speed limit goes to 25 MPH my truck sees State Road 70 sign and instantly accelerates trying to get to 70 in a 25 MPH zone speed trap.
When I had recent Super Duty trucks they came with this key blank. I always kept one in my wallet in case I need to get into the truck and FOB or keypad doesn't work.
Does anyone now a part number for this blank. I'd like o get one for my Lightning.
Rick,
Let me clarify. I apologize. I misspoke about the $7,500 on my deal being a direct pass through for a tax credit on a high MSRP lease. My Platinum would not qualify for a Tax Credit since the MSRP exceeds $80k limit so Ford did not get a tax credit to pass on.
The way I understood it...
You are correct. Tax Credit to buyer ONLY APPLIES to a purchase, not a lease. If the VIN qualified then Ford got the credit. They are not required to pass it on to you.
YOU CAN’T EVER CLAIM IT ON YOUR TAX RETURN IF YOU LEASED.
No, the $7,500 is not X-Plan discount. It's the way that Ford passes the offers a financial incentive similar to a Tax Credit to for an X-Plan buyer on a lease document.
It got really really confusing. Even the Finance manager didn't understand until he called Corporate finance.
FIRST, The...
You are correct. On my Ford lease the $7,500 was credited with all the other rebates and incentives. It did not increase the residual. It was passed through as a line item listed as X-Plan Customer CASH. It was part of the total Cap Cost Reduction.
My Residual on a low mileage 39 month lease...

Martin,
Great minds think alike. :)
I suggested just that to the tech. He could not find a way to disassemble the handle and he didn't want to break it. He took it back to the shop so "his boss" could look at it to see if it the cover can be removed.
As promised I am reporting back.
Mobile tech showed up this morning with the new door handle. It originally came unpainted and they sent it to a paint shop.
The paint does not match. It's a lot more white then the original and the rear door handle. I asked them to get a better paint match or...
Check the passenger side and see of you can reliably unlock and lock the truck with the Passenger door handle. If it works 100% reliably with the passenger side door handle, then the driver door handle internal BlueTooth antenna may be the culprit. That is what mine did. It drove me nuts...
Mine went from intermittently responsive when using the Phone to lock or unlock the door to totally not responding at all. Both doors on the driver side now will not unlock or lock when using the Phone. They work perfectly with the FOB
It seems there is a BlueTooth Antenna in the driver door...
RIF = Reduction In Force (Aka Layoff)
VRIF = Voluntary Reduction in Force, usually there are financial incentives to accept a VRIF like salary continuance for a period of time or a one time buyout
IRIF = Involuntary Reduction in Force. No choice Layoff and possibly some severance money.
I...
