  1. March 31 Lightning Invites Expiring?

    I guess just watch the credit card you used at reservation time for the $100 credit. IF it doesn't show up, then I guess you're still good? It's too late now, but if it was still March 31st I'd say to quickly call Ford and ask them to revert you back to an online order from their end (if they...
  2. March 31 Lightning Invites Expiring?

    Just what I think makes the most sense. I have no direct-from-Ford knowledge. Moving non-extended reservations to the end of the list makes sense, too. It even keeps those $100 deposits in Ford's accounts earning interest until such time as the reservation holder asks for it back. So maybe...
  3. Lighting F150 Spotted w/ Sport Bar, Window Deflectors, Mudflaps

    Agreed - that was hilarious, but I was thinking the whole time it had to be staged. The people in the car filming made a few comments about not wanted the guy to see them, but made no REAL attempts not to be seen or have their phone/camera seen, and they were unabashedly laughing in the guy's...
  4. March 31 Lightning Invites Expiring?

    If you've been invited to order but can't or won't order by the 31st, and you want to keep your preferred place in line for the MY23 order window, you need to go to your ordering site and select "extend my reservation" no later than 11:59 PM tomorrow (probably Eastern Time?). I'm pretty sure...
  5. EV Charging Network Will Target Interstates Before Expanding Into Remote Rural and Crowded Urban Areas

    Keeping an open mind does not mean accepting all sources regardless of their reputation. Provide a credible source if you have one. But if you're going to let your point stand on a PragerU post I'm just going to keep laughing. :ROFLMAO:
  6. Study Finds Greater Greenhouse Gas Reductions For EV Pickup Trucks Than Light-Duty Vehicles

    We're not quite there yet, but most major EV makers are striving for 100% recyclability of their batteries within a few years. " The aim is to create a closed-loop system that will ultimately help reduce the cost of batteries and offset the need for mining. "...

  8. Has anyone actually ordered Fleet lightnings?

    The question at that point becomes "HOW profitable?" If they're only making $50/unit over cost on Pros that's technically a profit, but not a profit they particularly care about when they can produce more Lariats and Platinums with several thousand dollars profit per unit.
  9. Exact heights

    Uh... what? If the tire diameter is one inch less the truck would sit 1/2 inch lower. Distance from the centerline of the axle to the treads is the tire's radius.
  10. Exact heights

    True. But there are aftermarket stub antennas one can replace that with. Or just remove it entirely if you don't ever listen to terrestrial radio.
  11. Wave 5 Invites???

    Waves 1-6 have until March 31st to order. After that there will presumably be a "clean-up" wave to sell any 2022 models that haven't already sold out. If you still haven't been able to order by then (or if you defer because your preferred trim level/battery isn't available), then you won't be...
  12. LIGHTNING CURIOSITY -- Why Did You Choose It?

    Why would there need to be ANY other reason than the environment? We desperately need to stop burning fossil fuels yesterday if we want the planet to continue to be habitable as we know it going forward. And I need a vehicle that can haul things. Hence, I jumped at the chance to reserve an EV...
  13. Ford Announces Separate "Model e" EV Division and "Ford Blue" Internal Combustion Division

    This is undoubtedly one of the reasons for separating out the "Model e" division. When you call "Model e" with an EV question, they'll have a much better idea what they're talking about because they specialize in it.
  14. contractors will buy millions of Lightnings

    The assertion that wind turbine blades can't be recycled is not only false, but new replacement blades are specifically designed to be recycled in 20-25 years. Even the old ones installed 20-25 years ago can be recycled. It's just a little bit more of a process because they weren't initially...
  15. Wave 4 invitation - did you get one??

    Or, you know, just let us order an XLT at all. I wanted a 312A SR, but XLTs are all gone, apparently.
  16. "Camping Mode" ?

    I do not know. Anyone with Powerboost experience want to chime in?
  17. "Camping Mode" ?

    Yes, but it's just called "Pro Power Onboard." The various outlets can be switched on or off through the Ford app regardless of the status of the door locks.
  18. Wave 3

    Some of the 26 may have made their reservation before you, but likely several of them were prioritized by the dealer and jumped ahead of you in line. It's really crappy that Ford allowed dealers to do that.
  19. Usually get refund. How should i prepare for EV credit?

    Correct, the current EV Credit is nonrefundable, which means it can only be deducted from taxes you actually owe (unlike a refundable credit, in which you get the whole amount regardless of what line 24 says). Line 24 is your tax liability, and therefore the maximum you can get back from the EV...
