Those dates will be start of build, not end, so I would say 45 to 60 days after that.

Unless you were in a standard range, it should be significantly faster than your Mach-e.

Yeah - I am getting an average of 13.7 mpg in my Raptor (3.5 ecoboost) and got 14.7 mpg in my previous 2.7 ecoboost. Short drives kill mpg.

Been playing with Tempest as a name for the last few days, but I won't pick one until I get a chance to drive it and get a feel for it.

I know you can push it too 100% remotely, but I am not sure about values other than that. You can also set a "schedule" for ~30 minutes (or whatever) in the future remotely and it will start prepping for you.

As a taxpayer, I am happy to help you buy the truck, and take the tax credit for mine. The amount of the tax credit is largely offset by the societal cost (environmental and health impacts) of the CO2 emissions saved vs. running and ICE truck (which racks out somewhere around 400/yr. minimum...

Ford has a system in place to let you set departure times in Fordpass. Setting this time (it is a schedule - great for leaving for work each day at the same time), has the vehicle precondition both the cabin and battery (heating or cooling as needed) and make sure you are at your target charge...

The battery is in an enclosure - that can be heated from energy stored in the battery.....Not sure what you are asking for...

No, that doesn't switch until you hit your production start date.

I get under 500 miles on my 3.5 ecoboost (Raptor / 36 gallon tank). On my 2.7L with a 23 gallon tank, I used to get about 330 miles. This is using premium (91 octane) non-ethanol fuel for both. Given my commute, I expect the ER lightning to deliver more real world range for daily use than I...

Real concerns, but they do help offset each other a bit. If you are towing a heavy load, you will be pulling more power from the battery, which will heat it up faster and reduce the cold weather impact. DC fast charging also heats the battery. The biggest (40% to 50% ) impacts of cold weather...

I can answer for the Mach-e 1) Preconditioning (setting a departure time/schedule) preheats that battery and cabin - at least while plugged in. Remote starting just pre-heats the cabin. 2) Regen is NOT cut back in any way that I have observed in cold weather (at least down to ~15 below zero)...

Our Mach-e does take a bit longer to heat up if it is cold soaked, but it is still MUCH MUCH faster than and ICE vehicle I have ever known. With my F150 I am usually at work before I start getting any hot air out of the vents (shorter drive, no idling before leaving).

Not an expert, but I would expect better control over bumps, especially while turning (less wheel hop). If they did it properly, the ride will be less bouncy too. Note, the fact that the Lighting is full time AWD and has a better weight distribution vs. and ICE F150 means traction will be much...

Please note that Tesla overstates range and Ford understates it (based on the Mach-e). I would bet that the Lightning ER is pretty close in real world conditions.

Sounds about right - preconditioning can help offset this a bit and it actually gets better on longer drives as the system warms up. On a day to day basis, it has zero impact unless you have a very long commute.

Any way to disable to engine (pull fuse for fuel pump?)

How long did you go between fuelings? I think if I had one I would use it like a very short range EV and never let the engine run. Not sure the fuel would be good after a few years.

Nice!

8 weeks is a good estimate. About 1 month to build it, 1 month for shipping. 6 weeks might be possible if you are lucky, 10 to 12 weeks if there are issues. Based on my personal experience with the Mach-e, as well as general trends for it. You might save some time in shipping since it is...
