Thanks, Tim--your videos are a terrific resource for the community.
That note on the majority not being invited till '23 is an interesting bit. I wonder what the projected production based on trim will shake out to be.

Interesting that future wave periods may have higher pricing. I read this if you're invited in wave 4 for example but order during wave 6, you get wave 6 pricing.

Rough estimation of production volumes based on bar chart, stated facts of Dec 2023 run rate optimistically carried back to October & November as well, but if it does not then values across the board could be lower in 2023

Correct, the pricing you get is what it is when you order.

I'm hoping this means my XLT Lightning will be scheduled this week for production soon - I'm lucky to have the only order at my dealer. Another thread addresses the heated steering wheel, mirrors and seats as a possible delayer - I hope not. 🤞

It wouldn't delay anything, your truck just wouldn't come with it.

It is true the XLT doesn't have the heated steering wheel, but my order does show heat on the mirrors and the front seats - XLT Package 311A.

Front seats are not affected by Ford's removal memo

It looks like the latest price increase on the Pro was not to make the Pro profitable in 2023, but rather to precondition potential buyers for the relative pricing of trims in 2024. That's my take anyway.

It makes very little sense to roll out a headline grabbing 2nd price increase for the Pro one week and then tell reservation holders the next week that they cannot buy a 2023 Pro even at the higher price.

It was to make the Pro more profitable in 2023. They closed retail orders, fleet orders are still open for 2023.

I would bet they are fetching pricing on fleet orders that are close to the new Pro price for retail. So yes it was a way to signal the Pro wasn't going to be a sub $50k EV Truck

Maybe Ford is clawing back some profit from fleet orders. Few on this forum a fleet customers, I'd guess.
