Daytona retail event was yesterday. I'm glad I got the reservation and took 1/2 day off work and drove the 3hrs (one way) to Daytona Beach. There was a lot of information and excitement there.
For those of you with upcoming event reservations please please please ask questions, particularly the frequently asked questions about can we have cloth, running boards, bed liners and other "basic" features on the Pro trim. Give the Pro trim ER battery for retail even as an overpriced upgrade. The more questions are asked during the events the more the Ford team feeds back to the system to help them tweak the F150 configurator options.
I'm starting to feel that the order system will open after the last tour events complete and Ford can absorb the retail, fleet, and other feedback they are getting.
EDIT: Adding link to my youtube playlist from Daytona.

The biggest jaw dropper for me was from Ian in the charge time tent with the eTransit. He was sure that the 80A charger comes with the home transfer switch INCLUDED. I made sure to challenge him on that. He said the transfer switch will have a Ford part number and is included with the ER battery and 80A. If you add the 80A charger to a SR battery it will include the transfer switch.
Of course my go pro battery was low and I didn't record that portion of the event.
Second eye opener for me was that the 9 inches of rear ground clearance is between the rear motor's armor panels and the ground, the spare under the battery/bed is sloped from ~20" at the hitch to 13" at its lowest point near the backside of the rear wheels. I'm trying to tweak my hurricane shutters in the garage so I park the tail over them.
I guess this will restrict some of the off roading activities and might lead to some high centering.

I see Oct. 27th as the last one on listed on the Pro tour. Not sure if there are any later dates on the retail tour.
The Oct. 26th order date has been confirmed by multiple dealers and at least two Dearborn folks, with screenshots. Ford could delay it, I suppose. But at this point it's more than credible, even if not written in stone.
