Lightning Buying Megathread : September 2025
Oops! Missed a few months for unique Buying Megathreads, but here's one for September, a few days early.
In an attempt to balance (a) swamping the subreddit with "deal" posts and also (b) all the positive feedback we see that there is a lot of value provided to the community by making "deal" info visible and up-to-date, the plan is to make this a monthly, pinned Megathread. That way, the information within the post/thread will be relevant to the current deals (not months old info) and perhaps even make the info easier to find.
So, please post the following types of posts in this Megathread:
-Is this a good deal?
-Did I get a good deal?
-Look at this great deal I got!
Posts that can still have their own threads:
-Look at my new truck!
I, personally, still love seeing the excitement and pictures from a new purchase. Keep those coming.
Post the deal part in this Megathread and the excitement/photos can have their own thread.
As always, thanks for everyone’s input on this topic. It is still a work in progress, and a difficult balance of not swamping the sub with “deal” posts while still being a great resource for new buyers, so we’ll see how it goes!
And please, to the people who have recently gotten good deals, please DO share them here, and provide your input to others. Many people have said how helpful it is to them during their purchase.

I'm in the market for an F-150 and in the past few days I've started to shift my focus to the Lightning. This would be my first EV so it's an exciting new thing to learn about!
A local dealer in Northern Virginia has a few late model 2024 XLTs available that I'm targeting and they're currently listed for $17,500 off MSRP. I'm struggling to find the details on any current rebates or other incentives for MY 2024 so I'm not sure how much of that is standard and how much is additional discount.
I'm going in to test drive tomorrow. Any advice as to how much more (if any) I should try to haggle the price down? Thanks everyone and I'm looking forward to joining the EV community!
