CAR TECH Ford Lightning - the future is now old man

[JohnnyBeagle]

R u playing new car bingo?

One of every new car plz

Order a Silverado EV as soon as the website allows ordering on the 5th

bleh. I just wanted the Lightning as a "fast" pickup option. I put in a reservation during the presentation so I should have a decent spot...hopefully. Maybe I can flip it.

I'm patiently waiting for an EV tundra

I wonder how Ford is going to handle that.

It sounds like they aren't going to do shit which I think is a huge mistake on their part. They should be protecting their flagship better.

If you think Ford would be outraged at the clearly predatory tactics of this dealer, you would be mistaken. When asked to comment on Koons Ford market adjustments, the automaker simply said final pricing is out of their hands.

“Ford shares recommended pricing for all vehicles with dealers and customers. Ultimately, customers and dealers will agree to the final pricing.” (via Sam Alexander)

Most available will be the Lariat with the high trim package - extended battery, pano roof, blues clues

Probably what I'm ordering in blue because I'm fucking 6th on my dealership's list and that dealership isn't in a ZEV state

This is what I was looking at. My dealer is in PA so I don't think that's a ZEV state either. When I talked to the sales guy back in May or June he said I was 2 or 3 on their list.

I'm so annoyed the first 5 spots at my dealership were filled by autists who reserved within 3 minutes of the presentation starting

I hope they all order unbuildable shit so I can get one this year

 

[Lit Wick87]

I want one.

I’m also shockingly poor right now.

Maybe when this startup gets off its feet

Their hands are tied because dealership laws are stupid and heavily favor dealerships

None of the Lightnings come with halogens
Halogens are available on the F150 ICE because fleets demand that shit and fleets buy the most new vehicles

302a XLT and up get the basic LEDs. The 502a and up trucks get the nicer LEDs.

But the last gen LEDs was an expensive upgrade on the lariats. It's really bullshit tbh.

Its pretty wild that the dealerships are more protected than the manufacturer.

What's your reservation number

 

[JohnnyBeagle]

I feel like those Chapman sales apes just tell you a random number when you ask about spot in line

 

[I<3URANUS]

Honestly not bad at all. If I hadn't already bought a Tacoma I'd be interested.
