It looks like the big difference in price is between the extended range battery (300 mile range) and the regular battery (230 mile range) which is pretty interesting that it's that significant. The extended range battery also bumps you up 140 hp too to 563 hp.
But this is sort of the first time that the pricing has come out and I don't think anyone saw the huge increase in price for that extended range battery.
I still wonder if you are going to get a lot of company fleet orders with the PRO model or whatever it's called.

Seems solid so far, based on limited info, but man, that top tier price is mind boggling.....

On paper and official advertising. Real world numbers might be much closer in line with the lightning.
The Silverado has one big difference being a body on frame, which will be polarizing in the truck world. Pro's and cons to it, but most traditional 'truck' people hate it.

Anyone here get an order invitation today and order? I actually got mine, but know I'm not flush enough to drive a $90K+ pickup. I would likely only buy to resell, but things like that don't usually work out for me. I was around this forum for several years, but left for Tesla when my truck was stolen. Love the Model 3, in fact we now have two of them - no other vehicle in the household. I would like to get back to a truck, but my desires run flush - I like most of the bells and whistles.
The problem as I see it, for this price Ford needed a 400+ mile battery minimum, they also need a good charging station partner. The one major differentiator for Tesla that will last several more years is the Supercharger network. It is incredible. They are exploring at opening to other makes/models because the govt is dangling a nice carrot to do so, but with the millions of Tesla's on the road now - they are pretty heavily used, but it is the way to travel. Buccee's is even getting in on Superchargers. Maybe they'll invest in some generic chargers too, but for now they've only noted Tesla.
To say the least, just checking to see if anyone has ordered.

^ I reserved mine day1 of the reveal. Have not got an invitation to order. With all the delays it will probably be 2023. I'm not ready yet anyway, and may trade my F150 for an F150-Tremor later this year first. Comparing cost - F150 Tremor loaded $62K, F150-Lightning Lariat $75K... $13K in savings and I am certain it will be a nice reseal when the lightning finally get here. I suspect it will be closer to 400 mile range anyway, the 300 is based on either towing or hauling.
