I believe it is a certainty that those that have ordered (or will order from a Wave #7 Invite) a 2022 will receive their truck at the agreed upon price (except for those subject to corrupt dealerships). Some may not be able to take delivery until after December 31st, and therefore will be unable...

Rawsonville, MI does not assemble nor build Lightning batteries. It builds the older batteries for Ford's hybrids. All Lightning batteries are built (cells) in Georgia by SK Innovations and then shipped to the new assembly building at Rouge River next door to the new Lightning plant. So there...

My Dealer just told me his Mannequin is to be held for 4 months or 4,000 miles.
