How is this possible? One local lot showed 9 new cars on the lot. No one at Ford is busy, can't they just call Ford Finance? Or is there some other problem, like trying to get you to Finance with them in a way they like better?
I'm not sure what the problem was. Ford has paperwork for leases and purchasing. I don't think many are trained in the Options, which seems to combine the 2. I'm STILL not 100% sure that they did the correct paperwork.

Actually to this point, how do you feel about the Miko Suede on the seats/dash/door panels? I haven't seen anyone really talk about it yet.
I like it!! I am concerned with the durability, but the seats are very comfortable. Styling wise, I think the designers did a pretty good job with the interior.

I do hope, however, in the future they stop with the minimalist styling, ala Tesla. I like how the Lightning has the interior of a normal F-150.

JRT-It does have the 3 driving modes, yes. I definitely didn't have the snap off of the line that I expected, but I thought that was probably due to the nature of the electric motor. I do remember that it did impress me when I punched it on the highway; 55-85 was really quick. I only had 15 minutes with the car so far, so my experience is extremely limited. I'll be picking mine up in about 3 hours though.
Between yours and some other comments I’ve seen, I am curious if the off-the-line/from-dead-stop is somewhat muted in comparison to say a Model Y. And then the car opens up more after getting the initial roll.

The closest qualitative indicator of off-the-line performance I’ve seen might be from this EV Pulse video at 4:31. Doesn’t seem too lackluster? I like how it looks like the Ford driver gets sucked into his seat at launch! ?

That's what I'm thinking. It's heavier but it's got more torque and HP so I'd theorize it would lose the 60' real bad but then end up the 1/4 with a higher trap speed and a roughly equivalent or maybe even slightly better time. Ford knew who they were up against.

Mine only took 4 hours, but I had to send the sales dude back to the finance mgr 4 times. Finally the finance mgr himself came out so I could explain the Options program to him. And they still got it wrong! They gave it to me for .9%!

I just realized, with the rear diffuser can you put a tow hitch on there, or is it similar enough to the premium to be able to get it on there without issues? lol, cycling problems. I just don't want to have to put a dirty mountain bike in the back of a GT every time I come home from the trails.

Gosh, I hope they get it that wrong for me! Somehow I think my dealer knows how it all works, though. They are churning Mach-es from what I can see. Everytime I go by for a test drive, it's a different one and the one I drove last week is long gone

Might wanna double check if they really did Options or just gave you the 0.9% financing.
