Lightning Allocations Are Out!?

[CoyoteJim]

Except you're forgetting about us Canadians...we are getting some too and one person in Ontario said their dealer was allocated 13 units. I asked mine how many today but haven't gotten an email back yet.

How many EV certified dealerships are there in Canada? I assume they would be included in the non ZEV state count…unless Canada’s restrictions are similar to California’s. Then it would make sense that one dealer would get 13 trucks.

Of course, just guessing like everyone else but my guess is there will at best be barely enough trucks to cover the prioritized orders.

I don’t even think that many. Some here have said their dealers are getting 7 but had 25 prioritizations lol. Gonna be rough out there this year.

At this point just assume you're not getting an invite and if you get one it'll be a pleasant surprise. Everyone is doing mental gymnastics to justify their assumption that they'll get a MY22.

No one mentioned in the “wave” invitations it says you can order your preferred configuration. If it isn’t available, you can choose another configuration or choose to wait.

Does anyone think this is sort of like the NFL draft or something? Where wave 1 can choose from the full production plan, and later picks choose from the remainder?

That is exactly how I expect it to go.

Based on the wording this is exactly how I assume it will work. The further wave you are, the greater the potential for your being more restricted.

Yup!
at some point it might be between pushing to MY23 at higher price or Spending more on higher trim

Might be worth it to log into Ford account to monitor tomorrow huh?

Haha yes. So I switched from being ~#16 at Chapman to being #2 at my new dealer who isn’t offering the promo of Chapman, but at least isn’t gouging it’s customers with ADM and big doc fees. Best wishes to those who stick it out there!

Are you #2 because there was no one else there, or because your reservation number put you there upon transfer? I want to switch dealership tomorrow, but afraid my early first day reservation will essentially be pushed to back of the line at the new dealership. (I’m not trying to get a priority reservation, I’m just trying to avoid falling to the far end of a very long line of reservations at both dealerships.)

It’s where my reservation put me within their list. They did not utilize the priority spots, so it was purely based on timing. If you switch, you are placed according to your time stamp. The only other factor is how many reservations the dealership gave priority to which seems to give those ones precedence over yours no matter where their time stamps were.

My dealer told me they have 30 allocations for 2022, not sure if they meant MY22 or for all 2022 with included MY23 which starts in the summer

I wonder if I can call Ford and switch dealers until my place in line improves?

Switch dealer, confirm place in line, switch dealer, confirm place in line....repeat everyday for a week and switch back to original dealer if necessary. What a crappy system....
