Oh! Someone else has one in the area. I passed one on Central Ave over the past weekend. It was Red and coming out of Schenectady.

Was it a Platinum? If so it might be the "owner" of Metro Ford. I heard he/she got one of the first ones in the area...

Not noticeable. I think my AC took more of a hit to it.

What type of efficiency are you seeing..just driving here and there around Albany? I commute daily from Niskayuna to downtown Albany...

2-3 miles per KWh on city driving. Highway is normally 2 without a trailer or load.

I work from home but I told my wife she needs to start driving it to work to save a grand in fuel over the year. She normally isn't a fan of driving a truck.

I have been checking diligently, but I still haven't been scheduled for production. Other than interest rates I am not in a huge hurry though as I am currently in a lease on an ICE F150.

Yvonne at Metro says customers with a reservation can test drive their white Lariat mannequin.

On my test drive I took a loop down Central to Rt7 then Consaul to Balltown... merging onto 7 I floored it to get ahead of traffic and I felt like I was in a Porsche! My daughter in the back said it was like a Rollercoaster ride!

Anthony told me it was the Owners truck..he bought the first Lightning at Metro. Fwiw...Anthony told me they sold another one. That one was "off the lot" as a canceled order. (The order did not accept delivery for some reason).

I did not ask howvmuch over msrp they sold it for...

I just traced it and it said it’s empty as of July 27th at 3:40PM, so arrived today possibly. There is a tracing guide so that you can call and check yourself.

That is GREAT. I am contacting them today to see if they will do a 90 day rate lock.

We are getting ours through them now but I didn’t ask about extended rate lock. Ohad, my LO, did mention that the rates will go up next week in response to Fed raising rates this week.

That's what I was afraid of. My production date is 9/12 so even 90days is a stretch unfortunately. :(
