Keep me excited...

[exdxgxe4life]

I'm on the list for a dual motor cybertruck and a Ford lighting. I just got an email saying starting Thursday I build and order a ford lighting.

Long story short... Convince me to NOT buy a Ford Lighting.... Here's what's currently swaying me... More predictable delivery date, and $20k less (I only want the pro model) with the tax incentives.

I am REALLY excited for the stainless body, possible fold down rear seats and camp mode. But I'm starting to lose my faith

will not try to convince you one way or another. I prefer the CT. Make your decision based on your needs and wants.

Be careful of dealer markups.

I think you should get the Ford and cancel your order.

You decide how you want to spend your money. For some insight into the lightning, look at this thread.

I say get the F150 and tells us about your experience and how you feel at each point in the process, all the way up to when the first CTs are delivered.

DO IT!

Get the Lightning, you will be able to sell it with little loss if you decide to get the CT later.

If you can get a Lightning for under $50k, I would say jump all over that. I would be leery of the price, including dealer markup, as well as the number of Pro models they will sell to non-Fleet customers. Good luck.

That $7500 tax credit may no longer exist by the time the F150 of his choosing is available depending on how many Mustang Mach E's and F150L's in line sold before the OP. I think somewhere around 50k Mustang Mach E's have been sold and an announcement to produce triple the volume next year of it. If the F150L's doesn't start rolling off of the floor until late 2022 there may be very few if any tax incentives left for Ford to apply to the F150L.

If I wanted a boring, cookie cutter truck I'd buy the Ford.
And the CT will smoke it like a cheap cigar.

Personally I wouldn't buy an EV from anybody but Tesla due to unknown battery reliability. For example, Nissan Leaf is a total POS due to battery degradation. The vehicle must be thrown away due to dead battery after 6 years. Imagine buying a car that only lasts 6 years! Ford has a nice design but their EVs are unproven.

hey if you want to pay more for an inferior product go ahead.

The tax credit is neither here nor there. Because the Ford dealer will make sure the "dealer markup" negates whatever tax credit is still available by the time your number comes up.

Looking at how few of the lower end/ lower priced F-150s they are releasing, good luck trying to snag one.

A lot of us are very interested in how it works out.

I agree it's inferior, but unless there's a dealer markup, it's clearly cheaper.
