Looks like I won't be getting a Lightning this year. My reservation was a few hours after they opened so not too surprising. Maybe Ford will make the ER available to consumers on the Pro model in 2023. Heck, even a XLT ER without a $10k option package would be nice although 2023 buyers probably won't have any tax credits. Oh well...maybe Chevy will do a better job bringing us a utilitarian EV truck with reasonable range.

Shitty. Im priority 2 and a very early reservation and still nothing. I'm using a phone, does that make a difference?

Realistically I feel like every year until demand is gone they will limit the Pro to push people to the higher trims. That way they can say they still offer it but never have to commit to leaving money on the table. Its a smart business plan but it sucks on the consumer end.

Ask your dealer if the deposit is refundable. Ford states this somewhere when you order. Maybe the ? Next to deposit info.

I had some phone issues in wave 1. Changed to PC. Make sure you are on the main reservations and order page. Not the actual Lightning res page.

Looks like no Lightning for me. Either the Rivian will happen this year or I'll buy a different EV until another truck is available. Need to replace a vehicle and want to take advantage of the tax credit. Think I'm done with @Ford Motor Company after these games.

Same here - Have had a Maverick Hybrid on Order since August (No Build Date still) and now have a Tesla Y on order. Guess my LIghtning and Cybertruck will have to wait in perpetuity.

XLT Standard Range ordered. I'm not too happy about it, but I'll save my frustration for the bait and switch thread.

Wave 1 = lottery winners. That Pro is really the best deal in EVs, the value of the XLT SR is not very good.

this is ridiculous, they got us all hyped on a sub-$40k truck and sold, what, maybe 1,000 to retail customers? I placed reservation within a couple minutes of the site going live and I dont get one....

Did the same. Will cancel if I cannot get the 7500 tax rebate. I think even if the pro was available there was little chance of a 22' delivery.

Total bait and switch by ford. Only buying this to hold over for 1-2 years until I move to the cybertruck. Assuming it will hold its value fairly well.

I opted to go all out with the Platinum in Iced Blue Silver.

Could be the case. I wouldn't be surprised if it was 2024 or 2025 before you could get one without having connections. You're almost better off waiting for a used one to pop up after a lease term or a retail buyer decides they don't like something about the truck.

Ah shucks! Here's hoping for wave 6! XLT standard range leftovers only.

And for those wondering specifically what the XLT gains, it's woefully short. Check the order guide thread:
