Yep, they fucked up. If it’s not on the order page then I believe @Ford Motor Company will square it away. I sure wish FMCO would just publish a statement and instructions on how to resolve in case of bait-and-switch.

Think you’re in the wrong forum. Be sure to toss your phone on the way out, keep your power tools away from the house, oh, and park your ICE on the street. Paul Christensen, a professor in the School of Engineering at Newcastle University in England, studies the issue of electric vehicle fires...

Having two white trucks, especially that close, seems unnecessary. However, I've always been a fan of fun colors on cars. Wish they'd offered a nice green.

That sounds perfect. As soon as its sent call Ford and ask to escalate, IMO. Don't give them the chance to play more games; they can either honor it quickly or your friend is on the path to moving dealers. Saved myself $31k going with Granger in IA. My sis lived in Highland, IL for a few...

Its fine for most folks who can precondition... and honestly fine for most that can't. Somehow folks in friggin' Norway are managing just fine (January sales were 84% EVs). Once you get over the range anxiety and plan a little then 200-300 miles is no sweat. If its not for you, then its not...

I'm a little confused about when and how you discussed ADM, but I'll tell you my experience and hope that helps. I wrote my dealer twice confirming no ADM and was told twice there would be no ADM. When I received my invitation to order there was suddenly $30k ADM! Dealer called and started a...

That's a fair exception! I've always liked the look of the Volvo P1800 and if I ever had the time and money to restore one I'd be game. Check out this version from Cyan: https://www.cyanracing.com/news/2020/09/02/revealing-the-volvo-p1800-cyan 🤤

Hard to say, but I think so. Looks a little too nice for the work-truck color.

I know the feeling! We know we've already bought our last ICE vehicle (perhaps last ICE anything... mower is battery now too), now the question is going to be, "When have we driven an ICE vehicle for the last time?'. The rental car companies are buying into EVs big time and even my folks in...

The wife and I have an Iced Blue MME (Prem ER AWD) and Atlas Blue Lightning (Lariat ER) on order. MME was ordered in early January and no build date yet... gonna guess the Lightnings come in first. Congratulations on sneaking your MME order in before price hikes, btw. Ours would have been...

Same here! AMB was just too dark.

Not disputing that, I'm just saying 350kW is still pretty rare or only has one or two plugs. 150 is a soft ceiling right now for interstate travel. There are portions, like Maine, where a huge chunk of the state is really a max of 50. When the second generation Lightning comes around I...

I don't think its a matter of Ford "can't" add it or "doesn't have the tech". Porsche and Audi are VW marquees and have the faster charging, but my ID.4 doesn't. Its likely all about cost, risk, and the necessity when 50kw (not a typo) stations are still the fastest in large swaths of the...

This is too true. I'm not sure the cost of gas at our trips to Buccees has ever been more than 50% of what we've spent there... food, books, clothes, gifts, decor, gigantic smokers, etc. adds up!

Also a '23 XLT is likely going to be a little more than a '22 XLT. Add in a year of savings over ICE too... ...okay, that still isn't going to be $16k, but close enough to justify it, right?

Wooo! Finally get to join a build date club! Lariat ER, max tow, bed-liner in Atlas Blue scheduled for 5/30 as well. We were hoping to do a road trip in late July and I desperately wanted to take this truck. Fingers crossed for no delays for our group and no dealer shenanigans!

1. Sam James 2. 5/19/21 before the event started 3. #3 4. 2/8/2022 5. 5/30/2022 6. Lariat ER 7. 1FT6W1EV6NWG06619 8. Reserved in Missouri, invited to order in Missouri, ordered in Iowa because of greedy ol' boys network here

For all we know they're strapping it to a rocket.

Having lived in Texas "Hill Country" until recently, I have to say its a bit of a misnomer. There is a lot of that area that isn't very hilly if you've lived outside of Texas, but the folks there may think it is. @Ford Motor Company give me my Lariat already so I can test it out here in the...

Yeah, lol. $30k markup AFTER two emails saying no markup. Granger is also being competitive to other dealers. GREAT experience so far.
