What Questions Do You Have? (I'm attending the Event tomorrow.)

[Sun Devil]

I'm attending the Phoenix Lighting Tour tomorrow night. I appreciated others who attended the prior Lightning Tour events and getting us some answers. Let me return the favor. What questions may I ask for you tomorrow night? Here is a list of questions I have seen on the forum lately:

1. Are there two charging ports? (Different location on the Pro?)
2. Are the rear lights (not the light bar) different between the trims?
3. Does the Pro have running boards as an option?
4. What is the target production of lightning in 2022? (Try to confirm the Reuters article.)
5. Can you do all the financing and purchasing online?
6. Why no ER on the Pro trim?
7. Is Fleet and Commercial one and the same for the Pro?
8. Will the Pro Trim have the fold down work surface?
9. More information on the inverter for the intelligent power back up. What specs can they give us.
10. Will leases be available on the Lightning at launch?

Are there any other questions you would like me to ask?

When Ford provided the number of reservations (currently over 120k), is that just retail or does that include commercial as well? Very important to help understand where we may all be in line and how long we will be waiting.

Is the battery design / manufacturing from SKI for the lightning sufficiently different from the LG pouch cells to avoid the fire problems the Bolt is having?

Can they provide any more details about how home power backup will work? (what equipment is needed beside the truck and charge station pro, does it use the inverter on truck, etc).

When will the build and price tool be released and will that be in advance of orders opening up?

Will there be a cloth interior option on the Pro model

Will there be tether anchors in backseat of Pro model for forward facing car seats (3 at once)

Is Pro bed come sprayed standard? Or it is bare with a liner as option?
Would there be an issue if I replace 12V battery with Lithium Ion?

Additional questions on the same themes.
3. Would aftermarket running board be feasible?
6. Is the "no ER on Pro for consumers" only for 2022 or is this permanent?
** What's the cost of the 80A pro charger available for purchase separately with STD battery?
** Will non Ford EVs be able to use the pro charger at the 80A rate some time in the future, or is it proprietary enough to preclude that?
** How to open frunk when 12V battery dies?

I would love to know how much 12V power the DC/DC converter can supply to aftermarket accessories (e.g. winch, audio amplifiers, etc) and if there is space for a full size 12v battery anywhere.

Thanks!

More information on the inverter for the intelligent power back up. What specs can they give us.

If they sluff off providing "all" the details because maybe it is not all finished yet, maybe follow up with any or all of the following:

1. Will the 80A EVSE connect with a J1772 connector or CCS connector?
2. Will equipment needed for intelligent home back-up, apart from the 80A EVSE, be proprietary to Ford or Sunrun?
3. Can the vehicle be charged while operating in the off grid mode?
4. Can the intelligent home back-up and pro power onboard output operate at the same time for up to the total of 17.6kW indicated on tech spec pages for "onboard charger power output"?

Gooseneck hitch fitment.

I'm probably the only dude that wants to know this ?‍

 

[Diabolical!]

This is a big one for me, will people who already have home charging stations have the option of buying the Lightning without the ford charging station for a discount? I already have a charger in my driveway and one in my garage...

 

[Kiggulak]

I'm sure this is unique and an odd question.

What is the clearance from the ground to the lowest point at the rear bumper/hitch on the Pro?

Also will the Ford Options Balloon Payment be available for the lightning like the Mach-E?

I want to make sure I understand your question. I know nothing about goosenecks. Do you mind putting your question into plain English for me? If the person was to ask me what is meant by Gooseneck hitch fitment, my expression would be ?‍

 

[Sun Devil]

Can the vehicle be charged while operating in the off grid mode?

I'm not sure I understand what you are asking here. Do you mind clarifying?

 

[Sun Devil]

Thanks for your questions. I have them down. I will be leaving my office to the event around 4:30 pm PDT. If you think of any others, send them before then.

 

[GarageMahal]

Another question I just remembered: will we be able to install a front receiver hitch?

 

[Diabolical!]

I am in the unique position of already having 2 EV charging stations installed at my house so this is an important question for me:

Can you buy an Extended Range Lightning without the 80 amp charger and if so will the price be discounted?
