  1. Ford's epic Lightning bait-and-switch is complete (the official "I'm out" thread).

    You’re in luck! What you just described is a Pro, and you can get it for $40K.
  2. Ford Warns Dealers Against Additional Deposit / Payment Requirements For Lightning Orders. Supports No-Resale Provisions in Purchase Contracts

    Yeah, this time they can learn to deliver reservations first. Then, next time, they can learn to deliver all these reservations….wait for it….in the order customers actually made them! Oh wow, baby steps. Ok ok easy for me to sit here and criticize, but I guess it’s kinda like trying to turn...
  3. MY2023 Lightning -- More Options?

    Thank you, that’s not bad at all.
  4. F-150 Lightning Reveal Generated More Twitter Buzz Than Silverado EV

    Add up population for respective states and it’s a tie.
  5. MY2023 Lightning -- More Options?

    I’m learning something new here: Blue Cruise is a paid subscription? I had remotely considered going all the $way$ up to Lariat just so I could get BC, it sounds good, but that’s something I would have to consider. Besides the obviously much higher price vs Pro/XLT. How much is it per month? I...
  6. Any Chance of Improving My Odds to Order Lightning?

    No worries. We’ll have weeks to think it through, I think liking the truck for a year will be the least of our issues. Pretty sure everyone that gets one will love it!
  7. Any Chance of Improving My Odds to Order Lightning?

    I agree that it would have looked much better on Ford if they had laid out the process ahead of time and then stuck to it. The way it’s going right now it looks like they either had all these little surprises planned all along but didn’t want us to know, or maybe they’re just making it up as...
  8. Dealer can't tell me my place in line?

    Not quite. 11 out of 65 would mean that roughly 1 in 6 out of all reservations were placed in the first 30 seconds. Extrapolated nationwide that would mean 33K out of a total of 200K reservations would have been placed in the first 30 seconds. Clearly that’s not the case, 20K were placed in the...
  9. Wave 1 Lightning invitation email thread [Update: Emails AFTER 5PM ET]

    “Could total 20K” is the key phrase here. We still don’t know how heavily Ford weighs the dealer prioritization vs. earlier time stamp. They probably are, but we don’t know for a fact. Either way we’re probably looking at a truck for both priority slots and first day time stamps by the end of...
  10. Ford Warns Dealers Against Additional Deposit / Payment Requirements For Lightning Orders. Supports No-Resale Provisions in Purchase Contracts

    Makes sense, to keep people from racking up the credit over and over again. Or, limit it to only being able to take the credit once every x years.
  11. Wave 1 Lightning invitation email thread [Update: Emails AFTER 5PM ET]

    Thank you, that was a good summary. Should be required reading for some of the Karens with entitlement issues here.
  12. Wave 1 Lightning invitation email thread [Update: Emails AFTER 5PM ET]

    Same exact situation here. Day 1 reservation holder, no invitation to order. Considering there was 20K first day reservations, I guarantee that most got shut out so far. Number 6 out of 18 at my dealer. Just hoping to order in waves 2-6. We’ll see, I’m sure the LEAF will take me to work for as...
  13. Ordered 2022 Lightning - My Experience

    Not sure but I think the infrastructure bill was not done through reconciliation, enough republicans voted for it. So they saved reconciliation for BBB. I would have to check to be sure though. Edit: 19 including McConnell.
  14. Transition to EV, why Ford/GM still need dealers to sell the trucks?

    Ford knows this. I was on their website recently and they had me take a survey. One of the questions was “would you be interested in doing future vehicle purchases entirely online “. There were several detailed follow up questions to that, trying to nail down exactly where dealers still provide...
  15. Conversion Rate

    Indeed. Just look around any mall parking lot! Manufacturers know exactly why they spend so much money on advertising-it works.
  16. Wave 1 Lightning invitation email thread [Update: Emails AFTER 5PM ET]

    Especially the ones that like to sleep in. Like , really late.
  17. Ordered 2022 Lightning - My Experience

    Careful or you’ll confuse Ford even more about this deal than they already are!
