I get your point, but anything that reduces the amount of tax that would otherwise be paid on a new vehicle is a subsidy. I'm really not complaining about it. What worries me is that the manufacturers will just jack up the prices to compensate and end up, in effect, making a taxpayer subsidy a...

There’s been talk of raising the thresholds higher, and maybe making a new category for trucks. i use my vehicle mainly for business, and you can write off 100% of the business depreciation in one year for an EV. This is only on the first $55k plus taxes of the purchase price, but can be...

New 1.7B announced for EV rebates in Canada, to be detailed in federal budget in April...

I think these are points to improve range and maybe battery longevity but not showstoppers. I think the truck will be fine in our Cdn winters, which has averaged -20C here for past week. My worry is more about expected range loss and the really slow charging if I do need to take a winter road...

Sell me your badge and I’ll glue it on the ICE truck I’ll probably be stuck with buying if I can’t get a Lightning

Old Sparky

Godot.......Just got that. My favourite so far!

Very helpful to know. Thanks. I am all about napping in my truck, actually napping anytime. It would be an excellent way to pass time at the charger.

If I ever get a Lightning, I’m kind of obsessed with the Max Recline seats. Sadly, only available on the platinum. I wish so badly it could be a standalone option on the lower trims.. I wonder how crazy it would be to try and retrofit the seat, either as a new part or from a junkyard...

The big question mark for me is depreciation. If the Lightning depreciates way faster than an ICE truck, the savings in fuel and maintenance are outweighed in the whole cost of ownership equation. Tesla seem to hold value really well but most other EV’s don’t. If you haven’t got an invite to...

Is a “no sell contract” for a year or whatever duration or mileage, even legally enforceable? i suppose that dealer could refuse service or warranty work, but it seems like a bluff that wouldn’t have any legal standing. Speculating entirely as a non-lawyer....

You guys are lucky that you can at least order the standard pro as a non-fleet retail customer (receiving one is another matter). In Canada, it is fleet only. I'd be ALL OVER a standard range pro if I could order one.

There is an existing Canada thread here: https://www.f150gen14.com/forum/threads/lightning-build-price-for-canada.7853/ Maybe a moderator could merge these threads..... Separate question: does anybody know if the "Ford Options Program" available in the US for Lightning and Mach E, is...

Well, I’m out. Not just pricing, just drove an F150 gasser and it is too big for me. I’m coming from a Honda Ridgeline and a midsize is really what what I need. These are exciting times, I’m sure all kinds of great vehicles and technology around the corner. Best luck and well wishes to...

Heated steering wheel is standard on all Canadian Lightnings, according to the build/price PDF in post #12 supplied by lavaorange

Heated black leather steering wheel and heated seats are standard on all XLT’s in Canada

Now to convince myself I could do ok with the SR battery. I’d like an XLT with virtually no options. I’m not sure that the extra 100km of range is worth $13,000. I get that you lose 30% in freezing temps, try to keep it between 10-80% charged most of the time, etc.

Possibly this could actually be a relative deal for Canadians, as the XLT comes standard with more stuff: “The Canadian Lightning XLT comes with Ford Co-Pilot 360 Assist 2.0, heated front seats, power down tailgate, LED box lighting with zone lighting, 20-inch dark carbonized gray aluminum...

With all the excitement for the US configuration going live, any idea when the same will be available to Canadians? I’m wondering if there will be some similar “bait and switch” re XLT ER pricing here. Of course, the Pro here was always fleet-only and not for retail customers so I’m long since...
