An additional non-refundable US$5,000 deposit is apparently also required to place an order for the electric pickup truck.Ĭustomers who are not in a hurry only have to pay a US$10,000 price markup at this one specific Ford dealership in Virginia, but they could presumably wait a long time until their Ford F-150 Lightning is actually delivered. Considering that pricing for the base model of the Ford F-150 Lightning starts at around US$40,000, a US$30,000 dealer markup appears to be nothing less but drastic. After 200,000 prospective EV buyers have already made a reservation for the all-electric pickup truck, dealerships are now scrambling to convert these reservations into orders, under one rather large caveat which may also be caused by the continuing global microchip shortage.Īccording to a report by Electrek, at least one Ford dealership in the United States has contacted F-150 Lightning reservation holders and informed them that an additional price adjustment of US$30,000 would be necessary in order to receive a unit from the first batches of Ford's new electric truck. 2022 is here, which means that the all-electric Ford F-150 Lightning will be officially released in the coming months.
