I will just add that GM allegedly has this figured out. After being burned with Ford, it made me concerned about my Silverado EV dealer selection. According to several sources in the GM forums, GM simply goes off timestamp as to who gets to order. Your choice of dealer has nothing to do with...
I don't blame Granger as they had no control over allocation. I'm sure the lack of allocation surprised them. If I had any feedback to Granger, it would be as soon as they found out they were only allocated 2 Lightnings, they should have communicated this information to their reservation...
I have heard nothing from Granger for a few weeks despite a few emails. The person I was assigned to was ill. I spoke with Hunter Talbot who says Granger has only 2 Lightnings allocated to them. They had 1 of them go in Wave 1. I'm now in desperation mode to switch dealers in the faint hope...
I'm glad to hear it. I wonder why I can't get them to respond. I will pick up the phone and call tomorrow if they don't reply to my email from this morning.
I will be curious how many are in Wave 2 this week. Using the backdoor, it appears that I will be in Wave 2. But I seriously doubt that considering I'm #45 at my dealer even though I reserved about 10 hours after the reveal. If there really are 150,000 Lightnings to produce, then a lot more...
On page 9 of the playbook, it indicates that the Lariat has Max Tow Package, Phone As Key and Blue Cruise as Available options. However, I only see the Max Tow Package as an option when I build the Lariat ER. Is Phone As Key and Blue Cruise standard on the Lariat? I don't see them as standard...
Tom Moloughney with InsiderEVs will be talking to Ford about the Lightning's Intelligent Back Up. He invites everyone to tweet questions you want answered.
(19) Tom Moloughney on Twitter: "Thanks for all the positive comments on my @Ford F-150 charging deep dive video. I've even heard from...
@Pioneer74 please don't let any of this dissuade you from sharing. Your insights have been immensely helpful on this forum. I for one thank you greatly!
Wow! I almost went with Chapman, but decided upon Granger. I don't know if that was a wise choice as I don't believe I will be able to order MY22 although my reservation is about #20,000. I placed my reservation about 10 hours after the reveal.
My gripes would be the low allotment of Lightning Pro's. (Don't get me started about not having the option for an ER on the Pro to consumers.) But then to get an ER, you are looking at a whopping $32,500 for an XLT ER!!!
If you were asking about what do I wish the Lightning had that isn't...
I agree that the interior of the Silverado EV is much better. I do wish it had the option for a 6th seat instead of the storage. But at least the storage makes more sense now that the gear shift is on the column. I'm sure many fleets will like the laptop fold out table in the F150L, but I...
I have a reservation on a Silverado EV within the first minute. I like the Silverado's front better than the Lightning's plasticky light bar. At night the Lightning looks great, but during the day it looks cheap to me. On the other hand, I don't like the Avalanche look of the Silverado. That...
I have thought about that too. I have been told the number of allocations is partially dependent upon the number of reservations the dealer has. So if I move it to a small dealer and I'm #2, but they only get 1 allocation I'm still stuck.
This process is frustrating. I wish all orders were...
