Not understanding this. Is this in answer to a question?

My order said Summer 2022, like others here. I would expect to be at the end of the line.
What I'm saying is that the bulk of production will be complete before 10/8/2022 which is just a couple of weeks after the last day of summer, [9/20]. of course it might take a few days to a few weeks to transport the last model year production to customers.

I would not be surprised if some wave-7 orders are scheduled in August & September, that depends on which trims they focus on week to week.

Yeah similar story here -- been working through my dealership since May and talked through things a ton. Kept saying no ADM and then when I went to order today there's a $10k ADM on there. Sales guys call the owner and he says "I have to keep pace with the market." So now I'm looking for a new dealership. OG dealership was Ford of Upland in Southern California -- any SoCal folks that have a reputable dealership they can point me towards. I know calling Ford may jeopardize my spot, but I'm not paying $10k over -- I'll risk getting bumped into MY23.
If corporate won't help move you to a no adm dealer, don't submit the order, leave it hanging.

UPDATE: Finally got clarity from Autonation Margate. Verbatim from salesperson: $7000 ADM and you should feel lucky because other dealers are charging $10000.

Needless to say, I didn’t feel so lucky. I am a first time Ford shopper, truck shopper, and EV shopper. Thankfully for Ford, one call to Mullinax Ford per this forum and they happily sent me an email confirming MSRP less any incentives. Switched reservation. Otherwise I would have put Ford on my personal brand black list—I choose not to reward companies that are adversarial towards their customer with my hard-earned dollars.

Thank you everyone for this forum.

A thread needs to be started listing Ford dealers that have completed final delivery of Lightnings to reservation holders at NO ADM.
This list would be extremely helpful to those currently in your situation and to future conversions.
Would the members here who have already taken home their Lightnings please let us know if you paid ADM and which dealer you got it from ?

10/8 is currently the last week to start production, not finish it. Given what we have seen, you should plan for ~4 week for production and ~3-6 weeks for shipping. Since you are running into holidays, that puts it really really close to not delivering before the end of the Calendar year.

I would be very surprised if any more than a few token MY23 trucks get delivered this calendar year, and I also wouldn't be surprised if some MY22 trucks don't get delivered until Feb/March of 2023.

I just went to the dealer and chatted about my order while they clicked the button to accept it. Still no ADM and they printed out my order summary showing MSRP. I'm so stoked!
What part of TX? Mind sharing your dealer? There is a tracking list here on the site for dealers selling at MSRP vs marking up/ADM.

does your ford account show as dealer accepted? I called my dealer and he confirmed he had my order but my ford account doesn’t reflect it.

I forgot to ask them to sign it, but I do have a copy of the printout from their system. I have a text message from their system as well. I also had a discussion about it with my salesman and their vehicle inventory manager who is managing all the lightning orders. The assured me that it was their policy to charge MSRP on customer orders. However, vehicles on the lot are a different story. They also don't do any dealer addons like tint or nitrogen in the tires unless the customer requests it.
