  1. âś… 11/14 Lightning Build Week Group (MY2023)

    NW Arkansas. Mainly the softer trade in market. When I ordered I was able to justify the increased price because my trade was worth way more. Now that’s not the case. Higher rates are a factor too. Full tax credit was very appealing but at the end of the day the numbers just did not work out.
  2. âś… 11/14 Lightning Build Week Group (MY2023)

    As a data point… got the shipped notification 11/29 (11/26 built notification) and vehicle arrived on 12/6. Unfortunately most likely not taking delivery but hopefully the data point gives some of you folks hope that you can receive by year end.
  3. Any Wave 3 MY2023 Lightning order invites yet ?

    Well I ordered, but yeah, that is food for thought. What if you did nothing…?
  4. Any Wave 3 MY2023 Lightning order invites yet ?

    I wonder why Ford didn’t just let people wait in line for a PRO. It could have been as simple as “based on your place in line we expect it to be available to order no earlier than fall 2024.” No price protection, no order extension, just a place on the waiting list in order of reservation...
  5. Any Wave 3 MY2023 Lightning order invites yet ?

    Since it’s come to this point- do you have it in writing or an otherwise easy to prove format that the salesperson told you it is refundable? Because an employee acting as agent of their employer would usually create a binding contract. In other words, because they told you refundable at first...
  6. Any Wave 3 MY2023 Lightning order invites yet ?

    I did. Was told they are indeed sold out except if you have a fleet number.

    Did you select onboard scales delete? That would be the $650.
  8. Any Wave 3 MY2023 Lightning order invites yet ?

    I would go ahead and order XLT as long as the deposit is refundable. Then wait and see what happens, maybe they open up reservations for the PRO, maybe not, but at least when the truck is delivered you have the option to sell back to the dealer, cancel, or take delivery. You cancel now you get...

    Sounds about right for Ford software… Just as laggy as my Mach E sometimes.
  10. Order and Fight or pay the ADM?

    $2500 is one thing. The other is that the dealer was holding the order invite hostage and not releasing it to grab this extra cash from the customer. The more we accept it the more we normalize these dealer shenanigans. I think it’s at least worth the fight with Ford corporate if push comes to...
  11. Order and Fight or pay the ADM?

    If the ordering page doesn’t show the ADM then I would order it and then fight it with Ford corporate solely based off of that. They should not be throwing customers any curve balls like that. What you were told and what is the official order is a completely separate thing. They know you have...
