    Fewer 2023 Allocations?

    I don’t know how he knows, but he either has a great contact or is somewhere in the Ford system. He regularly posts info before we see it elsewhere and it’s nearly always correct.

    So I assume that means 801a dealer 35" orders for a week?

    2022 to 2023 Order Conversion Discussion

    I'm personally hoping for BlueCruise on the MY23 but am at least sure that they won't drop the 360.

    Gen 3 35 in avalanche request.

    I am debating skipping a 2022 Iconic Silver just to get my 2023 Avalanche

    Trade a Raptor for a Lightning?

    We pay 4.73c/kWh and I'm getting 3.2-3.3 miles/kWh so it is almost free. If people charge at night it nearly eliminates the risk of overtaxing the grid

    Trade a Raptor for a Lightning?

    Maybe. On the other hand, cell phone culture has you plugging in at night and I have been subconsciously doing the same

    Trade a Raptor for a Lightning?

    The Lightning doesn't really seem to lose much range in traffic. They do much better in stop-and-go traffic as well

    Trade a Raptor for a Lightning?

    8-12k. I totally get that right now but in the future, if you had many more EVs, you could program a 10-15% release and the energy company could give substantial credits rather than investing in new power sources

    Trade a Raptor for a Lightning?

    I put "surplus" like that for a reason. I don't know that much about how the grid works, but understand that there are many different sources of power. Say energy production can top 90gW for Texas...usage hangs around 40 most nights during peak times from what I've seen. EVs won't touch it...

    Trade a Raptor for a Lightning?

    Have you taken a look at power sources and supply over a 24hr period? The cheapest and easiest to produce power is obviously used first, and the most expensive are last resort. Coincidentally, many of the plants do not shut units down even when demand is low . This happens to be when most EVs...

    Trade a Raptor for a Lightning?

    Right after I received my Lightning, my state announced an EV tax. They are claiming that we arnt paying a road tax via gasoline...meanwhile, my two other ICE vehicles get horrible mileage therefore plenty of road taxes are actually paid. It's idiotic

    Looking for a 2023

    I'm on the verge. I drove over to a dealership that's offering 10k off MSRP, putting them close to the Raptor....and some great tech, nicer interior. It's a no brainer if these R's go for 150k

    Trade a Raptor for a Lightning?

    I like mine. But ready to get into a g3 Raptor. Electric just isn't for me with the current range

    2022 ordered in Jan w/allocation, still unscheduled. Confusion on 23 conversion.

    Both of the dealers I ordered from claimed to know their allocations on the day order banks opened

    2022 ordered in Jan w/allocation, still unscheduled. Confusion on 23 conversion.

    I placed an order through my dealer (who I’ve spent a lot of money with) and when I drove my Lightning up there (at their requests, picked it up before most salesmen got to see it), one let it slip that they had 20 orders for 4 Raptors. It’s a **** move, but I called a ton of other local...

    2022 ordered in Jan w/allocation, still unscheduled. Confusion on 23 conversion.

    My dealer claimed that their zone rep rolled my order over to a 23. It seems like someone would know the truth about all of this

    G3 availability?

    I’ve been looking pretty hard. Most that show up are already spoken for. The ones that are not are generally an ADM. I’ve had one out of 30ish that I’ve called claimed MSRP only but they wouldn’t sell out if state

    Azure Grey Metallic Raptor R Pics

    I have a 23 on order in this color and when my 22 order converted to 23, I changed it from Iconic Silver to Avalanche. Not loving the AGM

    Rusell and smith ford Houston Tx

    This was after the Houston flood, and they ordered a ton of trucks as well as the new year coming out. They had trucks sitting at the port and I wasn’t able to see the truck and it was unique so I agreed to a deposit since I was leaving on vacation. Got back a week later, and go to see my new...
