For those who thought YouTubers and influencers would be prioritized for first wave (spurt/drip) order invites....

Tom Moloughney, one the guys from InsideEVs and one of the more well-known EV-focused YouTubers, ordered in the first few minutes on 5/19 but wasn't in wave (spurt/drip) 1. TBH he seemed a little clueless about the Lightning order process, but does have contacts with Ford. I would have thought he would be one that would be prioritized if the conspiracy theory was true.

That's actually super surprising to me. InsideEVs has had Ford corporate on their videos multiple times and are one of the larger EV-focused outlets, so if there really were press/influencer prioritization I'd have thought they'd get one.

I'd hope they'll at least get some hands-on time with a press unit soon.

Most auto manufacturers have 'press vehicles' that they lend out for this reason. If this person is deemed as someone the marketing department would work with, this person might get the press vehicle to use.
