People are comparing the lightning to lifestyle trucks. The Pro trims are what need to be watched. And they need to put contractor only rapid charging in front of home improvement stores.
And the $7500 is non refundable so if you only paid $4000 in taxes that's the maximum you can receive. I doubt they will do a point of sale because you can only get a credit up to the amount of taxes you've paid.
I did a test drive of the Lightning Pro at a nearby dealership and they think the 2023 Lightning order bank will open up in August (same time as the Mach E). Of course this is all hearsay so don't hold me to it. On another thought, when it comes time to order your truck, are you able to order multiple? I'll buy one, you buy one?

That's a great idea about the chargers in front of Lowes/Home Depot/etc
Why contracter only?
I'm waiting too. I've heard aug 10 th now for the order bank
wow thats right around the corner. Fingers crossed for both of us! Thanks for watching
Have you heard about a use tax credit waiver? So you essentially don’t pay sales tax on the purchase price of the truck
Sounds nice! No I have not heard of that before 🤔

A Lariat with max tow package comes to $80094. Hopefully Ford will let me delete some other option to come in under $80k.
Dang so close!

Good point! Would they base it on how much you paid in taxes the previous year?
Too bad their Ford dealer markups reach avg of $125k . Its like they are deliberately trying to sabotage the f150 rollout
Yes I too have heard some horror stories with the lightning at dealerships. However their future vehicles will be direct to consumer, thank goodness!
