My Oklahoma Lightning Lariat ER Delivered 6/10/2022

[ecurve12]

I was lucky enough to get my F150 Lightning delivered on 6/10/2022 (it actually got to the dealer on 6/4/2022, more on that later).

I reserved on 5/19/2021
I ordered on 1/6/2022

Not sure if I was priority at my dealer, but I paid $0 ADM and paid MSRP.
It is a Lariat ER in Oxford White with Pro Power and Max Tow Package.

The truck hit the ground on 6/4 at the dealership and I was excited to receive a text from the sales manager that it was there. They were going to pull it on Monday and start the Pre Delivery Inspection process (PDI). Monday came and went and no news from the dealer. I reached out and they said it would be Tuesday. Tuesday came and they said they were having issues with the PDI. They weren't super specific about the issue. Tuesday turned to Wednesday and then Thursday came and I finally talked to the tech. It was a communication issue that was minor but giving them fits. The engineers from Dearborn had called and talked him through some thoughts. It ended up being nothing significant (yet).

I finally picked the truck up on Friday and immediately headed to a baseball tournament for my kids. They were pumped to get to take the new truck and put their bags in the frunk. The drive out was great, and I even found a free charger out in the town we were playing ball at.

So far so good on the truck.

I will say that having the home charger will be a huge plus!

Is that a ChargePoint DCFC? What's max power on it? Is billing per minute or per kWh?

What was the mileage when you picked it up from the dealer?

Congratulations. Where in Oklahoma are you? I’m up in Bartlesville waiting on my assembled XLT that may be on a chip hold.

Used to live in OKC and went to OCU. Small world.

Yes it's a ChargePoint. It was 62.5 KW and it was FREE!

I'm in Tuttle but work in the Norman/Goldsby area. We have an office in Tulsa with some EV Chargers at it! 5500 W 55th St S in Sapulpa is where the chargers are at.

What was the mileage when you picked it up from the dealer?

It was a little over 100 miles. The tech said it kept calling for Drive Cycles to fix the "issue". Not sure I buy it completely but I have the truck now so it's all good.

The Rake really makes this look like a dragster? Optical illusion?

Hope so. This will need fixed asap if not.

Its for energy efficiency and wind resistance. Sort of like when a Tesla goes into Cheetah stance.

To a point. It is also so that when you load the bed the truck levels out and doesn't point it's nose to the sky. F150's have had this stance for years (decades?)

FWIW: To decrease wind resistance, improve energy efficiency and increase range, you should get one of these https://www.mivehiclesolutions.com/products/aero-x-f-150
