And when I click that little blue arrow I get this:

But clicking "configure" only gets me this:

So we're getting close, but it looks like it's still being configured.

Ohhh, I am so looking forward to the hate and discontent this will unleash... Time to stock up on ? popcorn..

F5 button here I come.

So you can still order a lightning through a dealer ?

Not sure I understand the question.
You can't STILL order anything.
But when the day comes that you can order a Lightning, technically it WILL be through a dealer. There's no other way to order any Ford. It has to be shipped and sold through a dealer.

Edit: I currently have a 2022 Powerboost "ordered through a dealer", although I built the configuration myself on Ford's website without their help. But I had to provide the build sheet to a dealer so that it could be entered into the official Ford order system.
By the way, the online build system is not compatible with the REAL Ford order system. In fact, it is not unusual for a special order vehicle to arrive at the dealership and not match the customer's online build because the two databases are not 1:1 copies and human error can miss something during the effort to mirror the online order with the Ford order system.

Pretty sure half of this is just boiler plate, that's the same wording on the F150 ICE page.

Sorry for not clarifying. I read on here that ford is no longer taking reservations for the lightning. So I’m asking if you can still order one through a dealer without a reservation. Not that I’m going to since I’m sure if you ordered today you wouldn’t get it by 2025.

According to several articles you’ll be able to order once the first Reservations are filled. But I am sure some dealers will do what they can to make sure orders are not picked up so they can sell with a market adjustment

Ahhhhh Reservation VS Order

These days words have so much meaning. Lol

I didn't know that they stopped taking reservations. But the dealer can't make a reservation anyway. I guess they could assist you by looking over your shoulder.

Yup.

Did you mean once all the reservations are filled or just the first wave of reservations? My understanding is that Ford is going to divide everyone into groups.

 

[Snakebitten]

Ford, the manufacturer, has already been down this road. I'd be stunned if they were willing to take on the backlash of allowing Lightning orders from dealers or John doe before reservations were sorted through first.
I'm not one who thinks that Ford is playing the customer like that.
It's not a perfect system, but they manage it best they can. Now the dealership network is made up of all kinds. From those with integrity to some that will cheat if they can.
