  1. Invite: F-150 Lightning Showcase & Demo Ride in NYC Tonight!

    That is atlas blue. Antimatter blue is very dark - almost black
  2. ⏳ The Official Launch (4/26) Countdown is On - Join us to watch the launch of the F-150 Lightning

    You clearly haven't read a lot of the threads on this forum. There are a lot of customer builds already built. It is likely that is when Ford is giving the "OK To Buy" designation and starts shipping out all the vehicles.
  3. Lightning Build & Price for Canada?

    This is what gets me. Taxpayers are not subsidizing the high end vehicles - there is more tax paid on it than we would get back. For example, the Lariat ER 511A is $100k MSRP. That translates to $18k in tax, so how are taxpayers covering it? It just means we pay a little less in tax and it...
  4. Good luck everyone. Looks like I’m getting a Super Duty instead of a Lightning.

    That would be a HDPP and they are only available in XLT and very hard to get. I have a 2008 extended cab with a 8' box (it sucks to park the thing) that has about 2400lb payload and we have actually overloaded it a bit from time to time but only going a short distance.
  5. Simple Question: Can I use my current generator (gas/portable) hookup to my box?

    Yes, the pro power onboard plug in the back doesn't care what is plugged in as long as it doesn't exceed the capacity. I think most people will go this route for feeding their home as the extra cost for the inverter doesn't seem worth it to me. You pretty much have 7200W available for you to use...
  6. Onboard F-150 Lightning acceleration videos show impressive 0-60 ?

    Actually, if you get the ER version it is supposed to be slightly faster.
  7. When will we be able to see Lightnings on dealer showrooms?

    It depends when ford gives the "Okay to Buy" for the trucks. They won't be shipped before that even though they are being produced. This has been confirmed by Pioneer74 who works there
  8. What will be different for MY23 and MY24 Lightning?

    Yes GM, Chevy, and maybe RAM will release in 2024, but it will be in small numbers compared to what ford will be putting out. The 2025 change would be the big one as that is when the other EV trucks would start ramping up more production so more competition. Better to release the new truck that...
  9. Lightning Build & Price for Canada?

    Nevermind break even, you probably would have come out of it with money in your pocket. My wife got in an accident that was a total loss and insurance offered her $1k less than she paid 2.5 years ago. We had replacement insurance through a 3rd party so they are covering even more which in the...
  10. What will be different for MY23 and MY24 Lightning?

    You're lucky you even get a pro version. In Canada the Pro is only fleet sales, retail cannot buy one. I originally wanted a platinum but stepped down to a Lariat 511A due to the $10k price difference, 22" wheels, and reduced towing. I can't see thr price going down but I can see them opening...
  11. Lightning Build & Price for Canada?

    $2k isn't bad considering the price of the truck. We just had to get my wife a new car (ended up getting a 2022 toyota corolla cross that wont arrive until next month) due to her car being a total loss from an accident. The Toyota dealer is charging $1k over MSRP AND a $1800 dealer doc fee...
  12. How many Lightning reservations does your dealer have?

    Mine is in the Lower Mainland, BC (Canada) and they have 167 reservations and were told they are allocated 12 trucks for this year (I am #6). So far they have zero build dates yet though. They also said they were allocated 6 Mach-E last year but ended up getting 50 of them.
  13. Ford sent out (blanket spam) email: "An Important Update About Your Order" [Ford Official Comment]

    I actually was passing my dealer and haven't talked to them for a while so I decided to stop in. I am in Canada so it may be a little different than the US, but when I mentioned that they didn't schedule anything this week he mentioned that it was ALL F150 orders. ICE and Lightnings both had no...
  14. Lightning Build & Price for Canada?

    They are terrible for marking shit up. The bronco has over $20k markup on it as well. Almost every ad for a high popularity/low supply vehicle they have massive markup on it.
  15. Lightning Build & Price for Canada?

    And we already have dealers doing sketchy stuff...
  16. Anyone more worried now about 11th hour ADM?

    All you guys complaining about the cost of fuel...come to Vancouver, BC - we are paying $2.20/litre for regular (87) gas right now which is $8.12/gallon. If you want 91 octane add another $0.2/litre so $9/gallon Diesel is $2.40/litre...
  17. Exact heights

    Just add 1000lbs to the truck and it should be low enough to get through ?
  18. Lightning vs R1T - Timing and cost

    Ford has the limitation from raising the price too far. It is already fairly expensive over a ICE f150. If they raised it $10k, it would probably drive half (or more) of the customers to just get an ICE truck. Rivian is trying to pull a fast one over customers to make a lot more money. I'm...
  19. Let's Talk About the other EVSE included with the Lighting

    You get the 80A pro charger as well as the mobile charger. You do not get that 60A ford connected charger with either vehicle that was posted.
  20. Let's Talk About the other EVSE included with the Lighting

    It doesn't help with the wife's car not having a CCS connector, but the EVSE that comes with the lightning ER can be setup to draw as little as 19A (if I remember the number correctly) or a few different ones in between as well. It does not HAVE to be on a 100A breaker and use the full 80A...
