  1. F-150 Lightning FLASH Model Debuts with Heat Pump and Bigger Screen

    Intern: Lets give the buyer wireless charging for their cell phones. We can markup the msrp price $9k. Hit the $69k price point (giggles). And save the world from buying more usb cables. Manager: Do it! You're hired
  2. Finally got the invite after 18 months and now I have cold feet.......

    @watchdoc right there with you the more I think about my reservation. $65k for a SR XLT with the 9kwh pro power was my initial idea. But similar, the economics after multiple price hikes are no longer as favorable, even with the $7500 tax credit. Even if I only financed $45k at 5% for 72...
  3. XLT orders will open again soon (MY2023 Wave 8)

    If I order and decide to not take delivery for whatever reason.. how much am I out? The $100 deposit and/or…?
  4. Wave 8 Order Invites Going Out Today 3/30

    Just got a text a few minutes ago that my reservation has converted. 6/25/21 order date. June to Dec 2023 delivery date :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO: Decisions Decisions
  5. Update: F-150 Lightning Prices Increase for Pro, Lariat, Platinum as Order Banks Reopened Today

    Not sure about the prices for the last couple model years but.. Ford is throwing out $1,000 cash incentives when using their financing. ;)
  6. Update: F-150 Lightning Prices Increase for Pro, Lariat, Platinum as Order Banks Reopened Today

    I know they say that the Lighting and F150 share a lot of part commonality. Would be curious from an FP&A standpoint is it specifically the motors, battery, labor, R&D or inefficient raw material procuement purchasing that's really driven up the cost, as raw Lithium/Kilogram is trending down...
  7. XLT orders will open again soon (MY2023 Wave 8)

    Right there with ya! June 25, 2021 reservation date. Hell, my 7 y/o might be 16 and able to drive before my reservation can convert to an order.
  8. Trip Report: The Lightning Goes to Disney World (1400+ mile round trip from NC)

    Better than the park on the other coast. Some security kept saying “Park is closed. Moose should have told ya!”
  9. Email today from Ford

    Got the same email with "early this summer". Reservation placed 6/25/21. Starting to wonder if Farley and Santa are colluding as rough delivery estimate would be Dec 2023. /s Too bad we are receiving interest (~$10) as a down payment credit on the $100 deposit, considering we'll probably...
  10. Federal Rebate on 2023 Ford Lightning Rebate in 2022?

    Was just reading a similar article in the WSJ.. Typical Big Government with great ideas and ambition but over complicates the policy that they will need extensions after extensions, similar to the spending bills to keep the federal government from "shutting down". What's mindboggling is that...
  11. Great new tour of F-150 Lightning Assembly Production Factory @ Ford Rouge Electric Vehicle Center!

    Great to see the factory is topping off the blinker fluids, while adding the windshield washer and brake fluid.
  12. New price increase again - $5K on 2023 Lightning

    I get inflation / supply chain but Ford has increased the original $39,999 price for the Pro by ~+40% since launch. Crazy!
  13. New price increase again - $5K on 2023 Lightning

    Uggggh... gotta pay for that third shift somehow. Surprised but not surprised it hasn't hi the EV blogs
  14. US Forest Service is transitioning 17,000 ICE vehicles to EV -- starting with small fleet of F-150 Lightning [WARNING: NO POLITICS]

    Wonder if the US Govt fleet purchases count towards the 200k limit, which then reduces the tax credit.
  15. [Oct 10] Email just received from Ford: "What's next for your F-150 Lightning Reservation - Orders will be starting soon"

    As a finance guy, my spider sense is Ford is using this email / business initiative to more or less lock in deliveries for next years guidance to Wall Street analyst. Similar to an article today in the WSJ about people spending $550+ for a table at the Vegas sportbooks. “It’s like the nightclub...
  16. Ford and Duke Energy to Use F-150 Lightning Batteries as Backup Storage For Electrical Grid

    ……so it now qualifies for the IRA battery credit, yes?? /s
  17. Poll: 2023 Lightning - Still Ordering?

    Are you me in an alternate universe?!? Same exact rational. With working from home 100%, I barely put 10,000 miles on my Escape. And if I need to make a grocery store run or a long range family trip, I'm taking the fullsize SUV.
  18. 2023 Lightning Build and Price is Live .... $5000+ increase in price

    Couldn't agree more! Particularly since it wasn't a FIFO process when reservations were converted to orders. Even splitting the price increase in half would be a peace offering. I get that commodity prices have gone up, but there was nothing in the consumers power to pick or choose when we...
