Did you place a reservation for the F-150 Lightning?

greed and, personally, I see this as the beginning of the end for Lordstown.

Spot on - Fleets will want the lower risk (not to mention cost) incurred from buying from a name brand.

Agreed and, personally, I see this as the beginning of the end for Lordstown.

I think we’re far past the beginning of the end, this is the final nail in the coffin.

Hub motors were a nice idea, sorry guys.

When do we get the pricing and range figures for the F-150 they showed over a year ago that tows 1,000,000 lbs?!

Bummer about March 1, 2022.

Always have to look for the asterisk: "*The F-150 battery-electric prototype is towing far beyond any production truck’s published capacity in a one-time short event demonstration. Never tow beyond a vehicle’s towing capacities. Always consult the Owner’s Manual."

I was just trying to occupy myself while awaiting the Rivian info dump

I've got a res for the Rivian, the CyberTruck, the EV Hummer, and now the Lightning.
Hedging my bets.

Just put in reservation for the F-150.
It’s been a long time waiting for the R1T.
Also got reservation for cyber truck.
wonder who will be first?

 

[SlaterGS]

Reserved, but not as much as a replacement for the Rivian since I want the R1S but as a replacement for my Leaf.
Not sure if I'll actually bite when the time comes but more range, V2G, same seating and more utility is all a plus on my end.
Not a fan of how big it is for my day to day but I do enough woodworking that this is intriguing. This would eliminate the need to hook up my trailer to our Navigator 90% of the time.

Yep. Hedging my bets that Rivian can get me a truck in the next 18 months. Rivian is still my preference, but I'm a little tempted to do a base battery XLT f150, and get an R1s for the family hauler (my wife's commuter).

This is basically me and my rationale, but hedging the Cybertruck as I’m confident in our LE R1S that will eventually be my wife’s DD (after the Cybertruck arrival).

With our endless power outages in SoCal these days the Vehicle to Home electricity was super intriguing too.

Yep, put in a reservation for the F-150 Lightning. We had an ICE F-150 that we loved, so we’re very much looking forward to having an F-150 Lightning parked alongside our R1S!

I am ready to support a new car company. I also feel that the
Rivian's will be engineered much more robustly. Too many outlets and stuff I don't need on the Ford.
I hope they are great trucks though... competition is good!

I now have a reservation for a Rivian, CyberTruck and a Ford F150 Lightening.

IMO the Ford will sell Lightenings based solely on Ford brand loyalty, but many buyers will be disappointed in the range. Which would you rather have? A Rivian with a 400 mile range, or a Ford F150 with 230/300 mile range? And let's see what the real price of the Ford EV F150 Platinum turns out to be. $90,000 is the rumored price for a fully loaded Platinum.

Curious why you say "rumored"? Ford gave out pricing. Platinum is a few dollars over $90,000 - before any options (whatever you can still add to Platinum trim).

 

[LoneStar]

Platinum won't start at $90k.
