I placed orders for a Tesla Y and a Lightning at the same time. My Model Y came up in about 6 months and I paid $52K for it. Same order goes for about $68K now (unless it's dropped in the last two weeks, I saw stories but didn't dig in).
The Lightning I wanted was about $65K but the cheapest model that was available to order when my reservation came up started around $85K. I cancelled and got my reservation $ back. Not even thinking about it anymore.
- actionfromafar 4y agoAren't these very different vehicles?
- bombcar 4y agoThey are, but the pricing was similar so they're comparable.
- browningstreet 4y agoYes, this.. plus, I wasn't sure which would come up first. I really liked the idea of the F150 Lightning, and I liked the idea of a not-Tesla quality cabin, but I wasn't sure if I could do the size of the F150, and I also figured if the F150 took two years to deliver, I could live with a Tesla for 2 years, sell it, get the Lightning, etc. I also wasn't sure if I was going to be living in SF, east east bay, or Tahoe. But even with that, I'm not paying $85K+ for a forced-upgrade F150 when I really wanted the $70K version that they said they would sell. I had even called my local Ford dealership and they affirmed they would be selling the Lightnings at sticker, no dealer add-ons/surcharges.
