Hello from Parkesburg, PA!

I reserved on 5/21/21 and got my invite to order on 11/15/22 - my Lariat ER is scheduled for production on 12/12/22.

Just wanted to start a post to see if there were any other people in the region that have ordered or will be ordering their trucks.

Looking forward to hearing from fellow early adopters!

Hello from Yardley in Bucks County. Have had our 22 Lariat ER for a few months now. So far so good. I've spotted a couple Lightnings in the area now. One near me and another in Center City Philly. Have also spotted a couple Rivians now and one Hummer. Neat to see. Plan on getting a lot of questions - people have been very interested to see these trucks. Hope you enjoy yours and much as we have enjoyed ours.

Thanks!

I have yet to see one not sitting in a dealers lot in our area but have seen several Rivians.

A friend of mine at church runs and EV enthusiast club, and I expect to participate in some of their meet and greets.

But I am interested in your real world experience with range and the cold-weather that is now set in. I’m seeing a lot of videos that are talking about range loss in the order of magnitude of 50 to 60% and wanted to know what you were seeing I did buy the extended range battery pack And will keep it in our garage, which can be heated if necessary.

anyway, thank you for the kind welcome looking forward to more interactions in the future!

I'm down in Wilmington and work up in Blue Bell/Plymouth Meeting; my truck was in production this past weekend so hopefully not too much longer before I get it and have tons of miles on it from going up and down 476 every day :LOL:

My range loss in the cold has been more in the 50-60 mile range, not 50-60%. Have been keeping the truck charged at 80% for daily driving, and that gives me a little over 200 mile range. Took a trip last weekend where I charged up to 100% before leaving and I think I had about 260mi range if I recall correctly. Charging has all been outside - too much stuff in the garage to park the truck in there. :)

That's a good size commute you have there. We took the Blue Route on our way down to Bear, DE last weekend. Surprisingly light traffic!

Oh yes it's about 75mi round trip; it's a good test of patience at times, but when traffic is light it isn't too bad. Plan is to go remote or closer to home once this degree program is finished up.

Replying to you here but read on another thread about your timeline. I reserved 5/20 also. Extended in April of 22 also. Ordering an XLT also. I think I remember that correctly. I think we had very similar dates and such. My truck in currently in Delaware. I'm waiting for it to come to my NJ dealership. I see today's date is just a couple days away from your build date. I just wanted to wish you good luck in getting yours soon. My build week was 12/23. But then had a chip hold. Should (?) take delivery sometime next week. What color did you order? Did you stick to XLT or go for Lariat
