Oddly, I had to go because my wife’s van ran out of gas and the Lightning came to the rescue. :)

What did I do? I went to the gas station and put gas in it:

Used it this afternoon to take some gas to my wife, whose van had run out of fuel. Great feature.

Been getting communications from them about my order being cancelled and my dealer being sold and not accepting anymore reservations and how I was even going to get my reservation fee back. Problem is I bought mine from that dealership almost three weeks ago. Something’s screwy with their...

Am I the only one that gets paranoid about parking outside every day in the sun? I used to have a Model 3 that I could park in the garage, but there’s no way my Lightning will fit. I got Perma Plate from the dealer really cheap, but hate that I have to park outside every day. Anyone else out...

Is driving at night an accomplishment?

I literally got in this morning and turned the truck on. Hadn't driven it since yesterday morning, so nothing really. :(

Two weeks and a day and I get this error warning. Anyone else get this? :/

Should be really interesting to see Tesla owners’ reactions long-term when they see a Lightning taking up so much space. I learned from my EA chargers that those spaces aren’t convenient for charging my truck. And having owned three Teslas previously, those dosages are smaller and made for cars...

I’ve taken a couple of trips in my XLT SR going between 70-75 and have seen 1.6-1.8. The truck is just so fun to accelerate in that my efficiency has been crap.

Gotta say I’m impressed with EA this go-round. When I had my Bolt, they never seemed to work. But I’ve charged a few times with my Lightning and it’s been flawless:

For what it’s worth, this was a drive I took this morning. Mostly highway going between 70-75 with some hills along the way. SR XLT.

I bought mine from Elk Grove Ford in California. They didn't charge me a markup because I had ordered it, but confirmed they'd mark it up had I cancelled and they sold it to another person. Additionally, while I was waiting, I saw Downtown Ford in Sacramento had one that someone had cancelled...

Same thing with my dealer, too. They're using it as a service vehicle but not allowing test drives. They're banking on driving it around for people to see being a form of marketing. It was the first one they got. The second was a Lariat they sold for $80k (someone bought it outright) and I got...

Thank you, it’s an amazing truck! Great job and happy to be a new member of the Ford family!

Pulled this from someone on Twitter:

Yeah, I feel really lucky. It’s a great truck, but they really blew it unless they figure out some way to really ramp up production ahead of 2023.

I’ve said this in other threads, but my dealer said they were getting 23 this year and had 500 reservations at that dealership alone. I have a feeling a lot of people are going to be really pissed at Ford’s system. :/

I hear ya. I reserved mine in the first five minutes and just got it last Tuesday. The wait was maddening. :/

No idea what time, but I’ll be checking back frequently to try and get a spot in line for 2023: https://fordauthority.com/2022/08/2023-ford-f-150-lightning-order-banks-open-tomorrow/ now, sources familiar with the matter have told Ford Authority that 2023 Ford F-150 Lightning order banks will...
