I'm curious WHEN we will hear about the price increases. If the $7500 credit goes away and prices go up a few K by the time I order one, the Lariat Extended is a harder sell. We could probably do 70% of our driving with a cheaper EV cross over. I'm going to test drive a Ioniq5 later this week...

I just installed a new home heat pump that works down to -4F. The 2002 system we had before worked down to mid 30s. The tech has been improving... guessing Ford needs to invest in some more R&D.

I'm kind of wondering if I should look at other vehicles too. AWD/4WD a must, just too many muddy roads around here. Most of our driving is within twenty miles, so really range doesn't have to be crazy. I'd love an electric version of our old 98 Sienna or '05 Outback. Roomy, can throw down a...

This morning I compared Wh/mi for Rivian, VW Buzz ID, F150, Lucid Air, and Model S. The first three are VERY close (I know we don't have great numbers yet), which makes the F150 more impressive because the gasoline equivalent would be the least efficient. Not surprisingly, Lucid Air and Model...

I spoke with my dealer (Evergreen in Issaquah WA) and they have been allocated 6 Lightnings. Guess I'm not going to get one in the first year. Spoke to another dealer (Bowen Scarff) and they have been allocated 3. Hope prices don't go up too much.

I didn't order the Maverick. Looks like a great car, but it's smaller than I'd want and one with the driver assist features that I want for road trips came out to 37k before taxes. Hrm. I'll check out the powerboost though.

Yeah, the waiting is actually OK in this case though. I'll know by March IIRC if I get a lighting for this coming year, right? otherwise I'll have to wait for 2023. And we won't sell the Porsche until the school year is over. If it's like the Lightning and I just have to put $100 down, I'd...

Since I have no idea if I'll get to order this year or not, and our Porsche SUV that we don't like a whole lot seems to be worth good money right now, and our old Subaru isn't 100% trustworthy, wondering if it might be wise to reserve a Maverick in case I don't get a Lightning anytime soon...

Hardly practical for most of you I bet, but I bought an ebike (mountain bike, though) while waiting and just ran some errands with it and it was pretty awesome. I've just been riding it on proper trails so far. Sure I can't carry passengers but I could buy one for everyone in the family...

When did the reservations go live? day 1 9p pacific and day 6 reservations here.

Just to clarify, I think when ownership changes, the dealership gets a new record in the database. The old record probably gets deactivated. I bet the query on the reservation page is mashing up data and when the dealership is deactivated, the reservation doesn't appear in the list.

My reservation and my friend's also disappeared when the dealership changed ownership. I can use the backdoor link to pull it up and see all the info (after logging in to the Ford website), but it doesn't load under the ford reservation page. Whatever query that page is running is broken...

It looks like I can't order online because my dealer switched names. I wonder if there is some way to fix that. I do have an email from them saying there would be no ADM.

Note that I can use that URL to view my reservation. Because my dealer switched names and is now a different entity to Ford, my reservation does NOT show up when I login to my account.

Pretty sure you could get an awesome aftermarket system for a lot less. I spent $600 in my Transit for a noticeable upgrade (incl. subwoofer).

My wife's car has buttons for climate control instead of knobs, and it's a hassle. My Sprinter van had buttons too and I always really hated it. It's a lot easier to turn a knob while in motion and easier to adjust while keeping eyes on the road. Maybe the climate control is smarter now but...

My VW had the center console screen angled towards the driver and after having it I can't ever get in another car without thinking, why does the screen face the center of the backseat? Fake metal sucks, it looks tacky and the finish wears off. The shifter is dumb. Physical HVAC controls >...

Heck the wife and I want a Lariat ER but if I got stuck with a Pro I wouldn't complain. Luckily we have two reservations... but the 2nd one is from day 5 or 6...

My email says 79,000. So I guess I'm a couple grand short of a Lariat ER with max tow. Ten years ago I was driving a $3500 car and the wife's was worth maybe $1k. I was welding scrap metal onto the holes in the underbody. Seems so weird.

Answering my own question. 2016 – 2019: The tax credit remains at 30 percent of the cost of the system. 2020-2022: Owners of new residential and commercial solar can deduct 26 percent of the cost of the system from their taxes. 2023: Owners of new residential and commercial solar can deduct 22...
