Now that the rest of the possible 2022 Lightning Order Invitations have been sent out and the bulk of the Production Dates are in the pipeline we turn again to how to pay for our new truck.
The vast majority of Deliveries will occur from May 15 - July 15.
Both Wholesale and Retail Inflation...
Can't make it to NY tonight but please stop by here in Lexington, Kentucky with your Lighting (soon to be mine) and Merch! We are still part of the USA and the new home of a Blue Oval Plant. Come to the Derby. If I can drive your truck you can ride my 1/4 horse!
Load 'um up! Roll 'um out! First mass shipments of retail Lightnings?
Replay of first COVID Vaccine Deliveries videos?
Then Livestream direct from dealerships watching Mannequins roll in!
I don't know buy Maybe??
1) Log in to Ford website and bring up your order details
2) In Windows OS: Ctrl-Shift-I then Ctrl-R to Reload. This will bring up the refreshed debug view on the right side of the screen.
3) In the Search Window above type "1FT".
4) Your VIN will be in that line of code.
5) Then go to Ford...
My research found that a full truck cover will need not be Lightning-Specific since all exterior measurements are identical.
There are at least three retailers online that sell what appears to be the same product under different names:
Car Cover.Com - Gold Shield 5L On Sale
$189.99 + Free...
Perhaps, because my dealership underwent a name change late in the game, my situation is a special case. I receive no Ford emails (and no Spam), other than those below. My account page has never changed from "You need to contact dealer to order"
The only way I can monitor my order is with...
Hi Turbo74
I am in the exact same boat with same order day, trim, and with dealer. I had no choice of ordering online because my dealer changed hands in December.
It is simply an educated guess but I believe I will be scheduled between now and the end of April with a middle June build and...
Making assumptions that ICE F150 increases would carry over to the Lightning (Copied from Previous Thread):
Increase 145 in. Wheelbase-Platinum, Lariat 4x4 SCrew SS 5.5 Box prices $1050 MSRP
Increase 501A Package (511A for Lightning?)Prices $280 MSRP
Increase Max Trailer Tow Package price...
Dumb Question
Does our Order Number have any relation to the sequential number of Lightnings being produced in 2022?
Such as: My 8943 = the 8943rd produced?
I believe this CU advantage would change if one were to prepay the entire Ford Options in six months or less.
Also, my CU increased the 36 month rate from 1.79% to 2.49% on April 1 after the Fed raised their rate. Are you sure your CU is at 1.25?
Tis the season for some of us to turn our thoughts on how we are going to pay for our new Lightning.
For Example Purposes I am using my own Lariat ER with Max. Trailer Tow Package (+$825) and Destination Charges (+$1,695) for a Total of $79,994. I agreed with my Dealer to add what I viewed as a...
Could be Prototype Perk farmed out to Ford Executives for "testing"? Could be version using older software? Could be GOM reflecting last data set of either drag racing a Tesla or slow cruising around Detroit looking for income properties he could buy using his latest raise?
00001 - 002800 (approximate) are dealer stock built first in March.
Probably many are being built out of number sequence since it was really not possible for Ford to build many more than 500-700 per week. **
**My Opinion - No Source
That VIN# denotes a Mannequin, which, according to Ford, cannot be sold by the Dealer for 6 months after delivery to the Dealer. The Dealer, however, can pre-sell it with delivery to the customer after the 6 months has elapsed. The only thing "Sneaky" would be the mark up of $15,000, which this...
Like some, I have been busy planning my "break-in" Lightning trip. Searching for motels/hotels that offer charging yields little info (including next to nothing on k/hr rates). I have come to conclusion to just go for the best hotel value like before and try to fast charge close to a restaurant...
I would very much like to put a stake in the heart of this thread and watch it die.
:confused::confused::confused::confused::confused:
It has become so negative and really serves no useful purpose other than increase stress and drives some to drink or experiment with drugs excessively.
Instead...
