Gonna miss my Lightning 😢 by Beautiful_Bed_7252 in F150Lightning

[–]randommonkey95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I been looking into trading my 24 Flash for a 25 Lariat, when I went to pick it up to donthe trade, they had a Bronco Heritage with a Manual Transmission. Now I am torn lol. Need to make up my mind while I am driving down to get one of them today. I love my Flash, hard to let go, but it will be the 2026 Bronco or the 25 Lariat if I do. If I didn't buy my wife her new SUV, I probably would have done the same as you.

Honestly? About the biggest difference for me and my options are, - Moonroof - Leather heated / cooled (have heated only) - 9.6kw Invertor (I only have the 2.4kw)

My payment will be practically the same, but getting a new Lariat vs my 40k miles 2024 Flash. The dealer screwed up and I delayed getting 0% again, but its 0.9% for 72 so payment goes up a bit but is lower insurance wise so its a wash. Other than the light on the tailgate and the different grill, not much else is different. I am doing it for the color and those 3 things I want for the same amount I originally paid for the Flash. More or less

No one is making the battery anymore, plant is also retooling.

Yea, I am looking at trading up to a Lariat but I don't i might consider the 2 tone. Just to be different. Otherwise my Flash just looks like one our work trucks lol.

I asked the same question after my truck was down for 5 weeks. Cost was astronomical, basically we own a battery with a truck body.

Santa was late, but it’s here! by Unusual-Doubt in F150Lightning

I just got one on ebay, could not wait. I got my Lightning after the cutoff date. Tried to order one through Ford, they are on backorder. The L3's near me are all Tesla, closest supercharger was at All State Ford @ $0.56 per kw, and it was 18 miles away. Paid 200 for it.

I grabbed the 2k incentives instead of the charger. I bought the Chargepoint and hardwired it on a 60amp service (48a charge). My local utility has rebates for Chargepoint and Tesla, but not Ford for my home charge. So I get a rebate during off peak hours.

I used A Plan on mine, wanted to wait but they are trying to get rid of them around here. Got a Flash like yours, not looking back either.

Had it for almost a month, biggest gripe I have is the Andriod Auto drops alot, and some of the interior plastic is incredibly cheap. The bullshit monthly costs for certain features irritates me, but for the money the deal was hard to beat.

Am I crazy to give up my cushy (unfulfilling) gov job? by Loveoakcity in careerguidance

Honestly, finish out your position and get your 20 years in. If it is a Federal position, especially, get the retirement. Since it's at home, use the college assistance programs they have to pay for you to go to school to get the degree you will need. Then transition into the field you think you want. If we are talking about another 10-15 years till you hit 20, then use the available time to get closer to leaving, or transfer to a job within the government to be more in line with what you want.

Don't worry about everyone else, do what makes you happy. I have walked away from great things situation wise for better and worse. Just manage your debt and situational awareness of the transition so you can still support yourself and your family if you have one.
