Some states will continue to protect the dealer model. In NJ, Tesla was forced to stop taking orders from their showrooms in malls, so they created a "Dealership" in northern NJ that is technically responsible for taking all the orders in the state. Tesla owns the dealership, so the whole...

There are good dealers and bad dealers for every brand. Subaru buyers are zealots for the brand, so my friend ordered his from a New Jersey dealer and had it shipped to Florida specifically because he hated the local dealer. I prefer a Ford dealer in NJ for the same reason. I go there for...

That's why I made that video. The XLT is never covered. I got a lot of feedback when I first started posting here last year because I seemed to be in a rush for the CyberTruck to start shipping. My truck was in the shop a few weeks by then and I already made the commitment to only buy an EV...

I had an extended warranty, so it was all on Ford's dime. Technically, Staten Island is part of NYC, but because we have more open space, this dealer is massive... there are tons of service bays and you need a golf cart to explore their inventory and parking lot, so I guess they have more...

Most of the recent posts on F150Lightning Forum have shifted from speculation about features, range and options to people talking about things like when their order is being built, or asking other members if they share some of the same day to day quirks. Eventually this forum will do likewise...

I was stuck roadside in an unfamiliar neighborhood. The only symptom to me was that I couldn't start it. There was no starter sound, so I assumed it was simple like the usual things like battery, starter, or Ford's famous cutoff sensor if it thinks there was a recent accident. The dealer...

The future of EVs is Since it was covered by the Extended Warranty, I think they milked Ford by actually replacing a bunch of things on their dime before milking me on the trade. Because I put an Apple AirTag behind the seat, I know it was physically sitting in the service area for at least 2...

The forum I'm a member of is run by the same people as this forum. https://www.f150lightningforum.com I was a pretty active member here first, so I posted my update in the Tesla Versus section mainly because I knew that's where people talked about other EV pickups, and also for those who may...

The F-150 ergonomics and storage are my favorite features. They rarely talk about the interior storage, but it's hard to find anything with even close to the same interior storage. Before the Frunk that interior storage was super important. While some Ram models are pretty plush inside, the...

My beef with the car dealership model goes back a long time before the current shortages that shifted us from a point where people started complaining that the dealer is asking $40k above list for a $60K truck, although my dealer did that to some of the Lightning buyers. (Technically, all they...

The Lightning is my 8th Ford so far. I definitely like their products and my experience with the company over the decades has been exceptional. The F-150 has always been their most important vehicle so they put a lot of effort into making sure it's what customers like most about a truck, and...

My F-150 was super reliable until that fateful morning. No smoke, rattles or indications of trouble. I was driving along, saw a message on the dash about some sensor failure. I pulled over just to be sure, then shut it and it wouldn't start. I already knew my dealer's service department had...

There are 3 Fords, Ford the Corporation, Ford the Product, and Ford the Dealership. The Product is created by world class engineers and designers who work for the Corporation, but then it's sold to Dealerships who crap all over everything and everyone, especially the customers. The F-150 has...

Ford Corporate went out of their way to make it right, which is why I'm so loyal to the brand.

Some of you may remember me and wondered whatever happened to me... let me do a quick recap. I joined the forum a while back and talked about the fact that I wanted the Cybertruck to arrive ASAP, before the warranty on my 2016 F-150 expired. Well, in June of 2021, my F-150 wouldn't start and...

I wonder why they didn't just take a few minutes to talk about the specific things that changed. I keep looking at these videos and photos and I can't see anything that specifically tells us whether there is a folding mid-gate... and I definitely don't see any signs of 4 wheel steering...

Ya think? At first it seemed like they were oblivious, but near the end they drone was close enough to snatch from the sky.

That seems like the mosts logical design. If they use basically the same system in the back as they do in the front, it's just a matter of software to mange steering and power distribution.

I have the same opinion. Right now, the level of automation that I want is essentially for safety interventions. I like to drive, but I can't anticipate every possible accident. I love the fact that there are at least 6 cameras continuously looking out for problems and that their technology...

I'm still super optimistic, and surround myself with my CT toys to keep me motivated while I wait. I've got: - Two remote control Cybertrucks... The big one from Mattel, and a smaller one made by Hot Wheels. - Two regular (not remote controlled) Hot Wheels. - CyberWhistle, The silly $60...
