You can’t choose a variation of the Lightning yet. You reserve a spot and can configure in Fall.
The 40k version is a scaled down commercial only option.
I got a call from the dealership they said Ford will open up ordering later this year or early next year. I will order at or near the top of the range. But Ford said they are releasing more information on the 24th.
That maps to around 2M EVs in North America and around 5M worldwide (cars sold overseas are smaller than American cars). That's around 80% of Ford's total volume, so Ford is basically committing to be ~80% EV by 2030.
Depends on battery size per vehicle and also shows that Ford will probably not be selling more evs than tesla anytime soon.
Tesla battery production also includes Megapack, powerwall and Semi. I don't think you can compare the battery production targets alone and make an informed decision on EV production.
yea they COULD undercut . . . . but w/ every new shiny trinket . . . . the middleman, stealerships will tack on a minimum $10,000 / $15,000 - because many get a $7,500 tax credit, not to mention possible state incentives. In the world of middlemen, they rationalize you'll pay, or get out. So yea, go ahead Ford, enrich your crooked sales criters all you want. Much of it is seldom passed on to the consumers.
Same, though I think battery longevity will be OK and will be protected by warranty. My silly concern is supercharging and the lack of spacing at existing supercharger locations. Can’t imagine cramming a huge truck into most of those spaces.
That’s not what that tweet says, but it could be wrong. It states (for vehicles).
Yes they called me too like within an hour The salesman did t now anything about EV’s, and mentioned the ’’Bronco’’ 3 times in the span of 2 minutes. I finally told him the Bronco is a trash vehicle and won’t be around in 5 years. Typical Ford Dealer stuff. He though a hybrid was an EV too.I ordered one. Nothing amazing, but hedging my bets.
What upset me is that the local dealership I selected already called.. Think they will try to add a markup when the time comes???
Man I can’t wait until that entire mode of operation / business model is burned from the face of the earth.
I hope everybody realizes that a fed tax is it like a check. It depends on many factors such as your income and tax situations. In 2017 I got zero out of my possible 7,500 tax credit. Didnt help me at all.Price is tempting. Specs are inline with the dual motor CT I have in reserve. Considering a comparably equipped model is probably the XLT at ~$45k (after federal incentives), I'd still rather go $5k more for a CT.
I did buy more Ford stock though.
