As a 5/19 res holder I just wish Ford was more transparent like other auto makers and say limited availability outside California, Connecticut, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, Oregon, Rhode Island and Vermont. Thinking they don't like being forced to prioritize to those...
Lariat ER $80k truck is going to be worth $40k in 3 years? yikes! Thinking should just wait 3 years and buy one of those. My $32k (new) truck in 2018 is now worth $34k and it's 3.5 years old. I am ready to upgrade my not daily driven truck now but nothing is worth upgrading to. I typically buy a...
All Black interior on Lariat followed by excessive dealer fees may end up killing this vehicle purchase.
I am sure Ford has consumer purchase psychology experts on the payroll who study how much pain through extra unnecessary fees and add-ons they push before customers walkaway for good on the...
Range and versatility: Silverado wins by 2 points
Looks and price: Lightning wins by 100 points.
The Chevy just looks bad and I like the look of the Cybertruck.
I have a $100 on all three, whoever takes my order first wins the first sale, then a couple years after that will switch again. I love...
And here is the reason for the elevated rear cab floor on the Lightning and another reason Ford is going quick to design the 2nd gen EV Lightning to be released in 2025.

Today Tesla has a slighty quicker lead time 9-13 weeks, vs. Mach-E 16+ weeks. There is no way Lightning production will reach 88k in Y1 (2022) more like 8.8k as the Truck has a much larger battery.
As an early Lightning reservation holder this is what I'm thinking.
Model year 2022 Lightning will be first edition models @ $90k, order window opening up late 2021. This will be approximately 7-8k unit volume because of startup and battery ramp up capacity constraints. Reference Bronco and...
What is the plaid+? Cyber truck? Or Model S? I just heard a podcast interviewing Jay Leno where he got to witness a production Model S plaid+ completing a 9.2 quarter mile at 154 MPH. If I remember correctly it was a new record world's quickest four-door production car
Tesla calls it an order while Ford calls it a reservation. Ever since I placed my Lightning reservation I have been watching a ton of Model Y v. Mach-E comparison videos. Both are awesome vehicles while being very different which makes the comparison very interesting. It's not like the old...
Order book doesn't mean anything, It's not until they get the battery factory up and running in Georgia that matters. Until then we'll see huge wait times. GM has the same problem with the battery factory they're building in Tennessee. With the way labor shortages are right now I don't see then...
Yes yes we need to remember most of the energy consumed is fighting wind resistance. If you travel 15 mph in any vehicle you're going to get phenomenal efficiency which could throw off the estimated range the YouTuber was displaying.
Read up on the Mach E extreme cold weather performance. The...
The union test shouldn't be allowed. I'm not a lawyer and can't speak to legal challenges but I don't see how Union v. non-union shops has anything to do with EV tax credits. Also this doesn't benefit a potential Lightning buyer like me because I already don't even pay $7,500 in federal income...
