5/19 reservation extended when offered Lariat, but only wanted Pro.

Spray in bedliner I think is the only option we added.

No special treatment from dealer (he was shocked when I called to say, "it looks like my lightning is getting built. can you verify for me?" He said, "no way, we have 100's of customers who want those and who are you anyway?")

I ordered a XLT base package (311A). I am scheduled for 10/24 build date. I see on 2023 model yeah they added heated seats to the base package but does not show on the configuration summary. Anyone else with a base XLT see the same?

All 2023 (maybe not Pro) have heated front seats. Not sure what summary you are looking at but I would not be worried about it.

Edit: I didn't find heated seats on any of my order sheets either. It is clearly listed on the 2023 build and price page however.

Thanks.

I was looking at the configuration on the Ford reservations page.

Pro has them too now. They had to include it on all models, the heated seats were how they added 10 miles to the range for 2023 models.

Just curious how adding heated seats adds to the range?

Heated seats are considerably more efficient than heating from an HVAC system. When determining range manufacturers need to take into account basic energy usage from the HVAC system.

By having heated seats in every model the calculation for HVAC is allowed to take into effect that reduction in HVAC usage because it is a standard option.

Range estimation is based on Standard Equipment across all models (that is why the Platinum has a different range).

It's kinda crazy that HVAC efficiency can change base range by over 4%.

...at least that is my understanding

Thanks. I guess that is why Tesla put so much time and effort into their heat pump
