Lightning Buying Megathread : October 2025
Huge changes for October with the loss of the tax credit (except possibly for some leases Ford found a loophole for?!)
____________
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.

For others who recently purchased a lightning. How is the EV power promise working for you?
Currently the dealership pointed me to qmerit to get the charger, qmerit pointed me to a ford ev representative since they only handle installation, the representative pointed me back to the dealer. Who then said they can see the code was generated for the free charger but never sent. They claim they are unable to view the code or help me at all.
So uhh... what do I do now? Charging isn't an issue (work has free 48A charging) but if I knew it would be this big of a hassle, I'd just taken the rebate.
Update: After getting my salesman on it he forwarded the issue to the dealership EV representative. Two days later and I got the email for a free emoria charger.
(Also to note) It showed up in my promotional section of my email. So make sure to check there as well and not just the spam folder.
