F-150 Ford Lightning

[strider]

There have been cases in the past where Tesla has refunded people in other scenarios. They “might” still do the right thing. We shall see.

We shall see. They may end up refunding Plaid order holders that paid for upgrades while others are being upgraded for free. But there are still all of the LR order holders that paid to upgrade based on the promise of receiving their car by the end of last year.

My whole point is that Tesla has done their share of hinky crap. Tesla has been breaking promises to customers since 2008. While I have had eye-rolling experiences at dealerships over the years, I have never been lied to or promised something that was never delivered. As always, YMMV.

I received my notification to place my order. Delivery says 20 weeks at this point. Anyone else get their order notification? I don't know if I want one but I'm going to order it and see what happens when it comes in, if not I'll sell it to someone.

Isn't there a one year no sale clause in the purchase agreement?

Isn't there a one year no sale clause in the purchase agreement?

Wondering if there was a way around this, like changing account information ahead of delivery like with Teslas. I just got into Wave Two and I’m not sure if I’ll end up going through with the purchase or try and sell for a profit. :/

IIRC, Ford is allowing dealerships to add such a clause, but it is not automatic or required.

I could find nothing related to resale. There is no brokering of reservations clause.

I checked out the Lightning at Barrett-Jackson last week in Scottsdale. Nice rig. If Ford can get its arse in gear - it's going to sell a $hit ton of those trucks.

Did it have a dealer markup?

It wasn't for sale - this was Ford's (manufacturer) display at Barrett-Jackson.

How many buyers in 2022 will get the $7500 tax rebate from the feds? I know it’s capped but wondering if that cap is below the number of F150s projected to be built this year.

It's a phased reduction, Ford total may be 150k going in 2022, so they'd need to stay under 50k additional sales until Q3 to get full credit all year.

not every dealer markups the F150 pre orders. plenty in the forum here have in writing from the dealer what they will pay. I know that "dealer markups!!!!" is currently the killer argument against the F150 while the CT is nowhere to be seen ... when the CT launches for $70k+ ... are we allowed to call the price difference from $40k as unveiled to $70k a "dealer markup" ?

I understand where you are coming from, but it was meant as an honest question, not a 'gotcha'. Just like complaints vs compliments, more people will post if there is a markup than if there isn't, so I was leaning toward the the answer being no.

yes - just like the Mach-E. Some dealers around me are marking everything up $10K, others are not. It’s partly due to limited availability. Many lots are "empty" - no inventory. Some dealers just put the markup on the cars to see if people bite. Happens quite a bit with Raptors too.

heck - people on these boards are selling their Tesla reservations - that’s a markup too.

With a standard range, how much is the Ford EVSE/charging station?

$800

There's no real point in buying the 80A station if you plan on owning a standard range Lightning unless if you're going to get the V2H features from Sunrun.

Anyone buying a cover for the bed? If so, what kind?

That's a good price for a 48A EVSE - a Clipper Creek HCS-60 (48 delivered on a 60A circuit) is $100 more.

I'll just add the $500 spray-on option when it's time to order mine.

Figured I'd bump this thread

I'm planning on a BAK Revolver X4s tonneau and a bed rug. The frunk on the Lightning is nice, but I've filled the entire hatch and back seat area of my MS with Christmas presents and Thanksgiving supplies before, so I know I'll need more covered space for some trips with the Lightning. This combo should let the bed function more like a giant trunk when needed and still let me load motorcycles and other stuff in the bed. Here's the tonneau:
