2023 Lightning Build and Price is Live .... $5000+ increase in price

[metroshot]

Often wonder, where did all of these people suddenly appear that can afford $80,000 plus for a vehicle? Maybe they have been there all along and never noticed.

Not at all a surprise - when I was looking at ICE trucks during the pandemic, they were going for over MSRP.
Looked the GMC AT4 Denali trucks at $70K + $10K ADM so it's the sign of the times - inflated prices to match all that federal monies they created to pay people during the pandemic.
When the Lightning reservation came around, I jumped on it and was rewarded 430 days later with my MSRP no ADM Lightning.

It’s almost as if the NYT anticipated all the comments here. The gist of their article was that EV’s are being marketed to the wealthy and those with lesser means that could benefit the most from lower operating costs are being priced out.
This will take a few years to work its way out and for purchase pricing to move to affordable.
A policeman directing traffic at a construction site yelled at me as I drove slowly by “how did you get that truck?”. Timing and luck, I guess.

But $46k for a Pro is still affordable, the issue is Ford getting them out there. We have the Bolt below $30k.

Minus $7500 at POS

Sorry, what is ADM? I looked it up, but I am acronym challenged.

Additional Dealer Markup is how i always read it

Wonder what the scenario would look like if you got the dealer to mark down the xlt extended range battery a 1000.00 to meet the under 80k tax break limit. Any other considerations needed?

The tax credit "limit" is based on MSRP, not selling price.

9:00 AM CST and the build and price page is blank. I'm guessing that every one on our forum hit the web site all at the same time! Will try again in a few hours. The price incease, while not a surprise, certainly is enough to give me and plenty of others. I was expecting $80k for a Lariat, but $90k? Might drive my avalanche another year or two and let the infrastructure build out accelerate.

yes, you can plug into any type of 240v outlet with the right adapter, if it's not the NEMA 14-50 that the unit is built with.... so if you have to use a Dryer outlet, whether 3prong or 4prong, you can dial the EVSE down below 30amps.

Be careful buying any unit that has no electrical safety rating. Look for ETL or UL or CSA in Canada. Grizzl-E allows setting the charge limit- I use mine on a 30A outlet with the charge limit set to 24 amps.

Yes, so a big mistake for Ford not to set that XLT ER at $79,999.

Explain to me what I am missing, in the Lariat you can't get the two technology package and get the Co-Pilot 360 Assist 2.0? So if you get the tow package you loose adaptive cruise control, and everything else that comes with that package? How? It does not do that in the ICE Lariat?

Which Grizzl-E do you have? Is it a mobile charger or a wall mount?

Either a mistake or intentionally priced to make people order the XLT SR.

This new pricing shows that Ford is saying you can get the credit if you order the Pro or XLT SR only.

All other trims & batteries are for the "wealthy" folks who don't care about the tax credit.

If you want both you have to take the copilot 360 active 2.0 with tow tech

The tax credit is based on MSRP, so that wouldn't work.

Wow, built my exact truck aside from Iced Blue Silver which is now gone, and my $80,999 MSRP 2022 is $89,749 in 2023.
