Reply to comment by 8604 in Ford hikes prices on its F-150 Lightning again, as production resumes after EV battery fire by Shakawakahn

They say they are sold out for years, yet people are getting them and very quickly.

I ordered an eTransit basically Jan.1/2023 and was told to expect 2-3 years.. they just told me it was being produced and I would get it by April! Wtf?? I had to cancel because I just bought a Tesla and want to pay it off first.

Two possibilities. The bottleneck for a critical part was removed, or they had a shit ton of cancelled orders ahead of yours.

Yeah I figured it was a shit ton of cancellations.

Or someone looked me up and thought I would be a good customer for PR since I own an electrical contracting company. I dunno… I was shocked, and unfortunately had to cancel it.

If you were shocked, you must not be a very good electrical contractor.

(I had to, I'm sorry. My dad was a sparky and would have risen from his grave to wag his finger at me if I'd let that one pass.)

Lol! Cheers to your dad, how long was he a sparky and what kind of electrical did he do?
