So not from Ford, at least yet. I'm amazed that there is a right hand drive version.

So you take it to MyCar for service?

It's an interesting initiative; I hope it works out for all involved.

Fortescue spoke to Ford US about getting Lightnings in RHD. Ford US said sure, minimum order of 10 000. Fortescue only wanted 1000 so were trying to do a group buy with other companies (other miners, Woolworths, whoever, etc) but last I heard it was too hard and they've approached Rivian about RHD who said no worries. I believe there is a Rivian being trialled at the moment but I haven't seen pictures so can't confirm.
The feedback I've heard from the mining guys who have tried the Lightning like it and are onboard and I'd expect the Rivian is getting a similar response.

Exciting to see the F-150 Lightning making waves in Perth! It’s great to see more electric trucks hitting the market—would love to hear if anyone has had the chance to test drive one locally and share their thoughts on performance and range.
