Thought of another. Is the silver prototype that is going around "Iced blue silver"

 

[Squatch]

Can they skip the glad-handing and VIP treatment of brand-agnostic YouTube "stars" for the first year?

 

[F150_Xpress]

1. Will the pro have the same color options as the xlt and above models?

2. Will there be an ala carte to add just a 360 camera?

3. What model is going into production first?

I believe Ford has said the base/contractor trucks will come early along with the higher end models.

Will be interested to hear your report after.

Confirmation that the Pro extended range is fleet only. If so, the reasoning?Makes it to where 60k is the minimum to purchase the extended range.

 

[greenne]

Ask if they have thought about upgrading the charging to 800v (350KW?) in order to allow for faster charging on the road from DC Fast Chargers. Most of Electrify America's new chargers can charge up to 350Kw. Porsche Taycan can charge at this level along with the new Evs from Hyundai and Kia. It seems the Lightning is behind the curve here.

The Lightning must have close to twice as large a battery as the Mustang Mach E but yet DCFC times are onlya bit longer. Will it be charging at over 200kWh?

 

[ChasingCoral]

Will there be a ”First Edition“ model?

 

[ChasingCoral]

We’ve all heard the great story about how accurately the Lightning will predict its range Just how much will the range drop when towing?

 

[ChasingCoral]

Will the DC-AC inverter panel for the Intelligent Backup Power be a standard part of the Charge Station Pro or an optional add-on to the 80A EVSE included with the Extended Range battery models?

 

[ChasingCoral]

After market companies are planning solar panel Tony covers. Will it be possible to connect those into the outlets in the bed to charge the truck?

 

[ChasingCoral]

Well there be an opportunity to tour the Lightning plant? How about taking delivery of the line?

 

[DJ NV]

If you have any questions for him- please post them here and I'll try to get them answered.

?? cool and thanks.

When will ordering begin?

Is there a good idea when they will start making customer orders; what month, not what season?

Is there a limit as to how many units to what they will build next year?


... I know these have been discussed, but to get some answers from Ford personnel would be nice too.

 

[V8Nissan]

Why is Ford refusing to sell the Pro extended range to standard consumers. I'm thoroughly dissatisfied with my communications with Ford on this matter.

 

[Whiskey]

When can I place an order at my dealership?

and Thanks for getting the answers to all our questions!
