So much for Rivian reservations as well.
Do you have a Rivian reservation by chance? Seems that would be more up your alley.Got my Ford F150 Lightning order invite (MY 2022 final wave).
Paid deposit and have a build sheet.
Lariat SR base trim @ $70,000 before TTL.
Didn't have much of a choice - 2 top tiers only available for 2022.
Don't know if I will like the 20" street wheels, running boards and leather since I really wanted 18" wheels, no running boards for better breakover angle, and cloth seats as So Cal weather is too warm for leather that burns my a$$.
If not happy with this "street EV truck", I will sell it and wait for a more "off road EV truck".
The XLT and above trims come with factory running boards standard.Your dealer forced you the get the running boards? Are they at least the deployable set?
Nope - just another Ford EV: Mustang Mach E for the wife - ordered, deposit paid, but no movement.Do you have a Rivian reservation by chance? Seems that would be more up your alley.
Great! Interested to see how you like your Lightning when you get it. I'm sure they are prioritizing the Lightning now. They have had a huge media push, would be bad if they weren't pumping them out like they said they would.Nope - just another Ford EV: Mustang Mach E for the wife - ordered, deposit paid, but no movement.
OTOH my Lighting just got a build date less than a month after I placed the order deposit.
Looks like Ford is prioritizing the Lightning ahead of MME, Bronco, Mavericks, etc...
If Rivian is still around I came to think “yes”. I cancelled my order after the price increase because I don’t think they’ll survive.My fear with the Rivian is customer service. Do they have dealerships established? Can you trade in your current vehicle toward a Rivian? Who's going to help you when it breaks down? Can they get parts quickly?
The whole customer support part of the equation is critically important, especially when adopting brand new technology. I just don't know if Rivian can deliver.
