True. The Platinum editions are over 90K. $40K is for the base model.I read that an F150 Lightning can run upwards into the $90+K
Pickups are not cheap. Other pickups are even higher. Diesel RAMs in higher trim level push $100K.

and the Platinum trim level interior is pretty much on par with a decked out Mercedes in fit/finish/feel and runs circles around a Model S/X ... trucks can be work trucks or luxury trucks with high grade leather, wood trim, stitching, carbon/aluminum elements etc
Frankly - the Lariat interior trim level runs circles around Tesla interiors, in comfort and quality.

I am very confident that CT prices will go up - even for reservation holders. At a minimum they will cancel the single model so the "base" truck will be $50k. Likely with a smaller battery. The 500-mile tri-motor will definitely be in the $90k range.I read that an F150 Lightning can run upwards into the $90+K
I have decided not to order a lightening. The ram limited interior is just too nice and too much cheaper than a Lightening Lariat. Placed the order for the ram. now just need to figure out how to get my $100 back from Ford and wish them well. I was excited to order a lightening but the product at the price point is not what I’m looking for.
My guess it is like the Model 3. They will make the high-priced configuration first, then the mid-range, and as people get tired of waiting and buy the higher-priced versions, eventually drop the "base price" model.

source? I haven’t read that and I’m rather skeptical of the claim and the business philosophy that would lead GM to conclude that is their best and highest use of resources.
Yeah I saw that too, but I think it might turn out better for you once you are able to order. It looks like Ford is cutting dealers out of EV sales
Better in that I’ll get one the kinks are known if not resolved? Was kinda thinking a first year electric F150 would be an historic vehicle. ‘23 kinda doubt it in my lifetime.
Almost there, looks like spring deliveries will happen.
The first are supposed to be shipped in May. I'm very interested in what the actual highway and towing mileage turns out to be. It's a good looking, well designed truck and it has the features I'm looking for. TFL Truck has one on order, and will be putting through the paces. For those that ordered here, please post your experiences.

Ford seems to have made some great design decisions, understanding it's customer's needs and preferences...
The risk is can they deliver, in volume, at a rational price - all of which are very much at risk as far as I can tell.
With raw materials headed to a crunch, the big-battery-pack folks are gonna get clobbered. I will smile as moronic Humvee costs go thru the moon

Finally got mine ordered. I received the “you didn’t make the cut, pleAse don’t can your order we hope to get you a 2023 model” email about a month ago, then just last week got a “it’s time to configured your order” email. The web site said June-July delivery when I configured it and committed the deposit. It did not, however, say in which year.

We were talking about non-pandemic/non-Ukrainian war/non-quarantined-Shanghai prices when the outlook of conquering the disease was within the grasp and the promise of normalization of computer chips and parts would be soon.
Now, it's 2022 with the cutthroat prices.
