Ford email confirms F-150 Lightning orders starting at “beginning of the new year”

[TDC]

So does the link bring up anything new for anyone? I just go to the same old Lightning page at ford.com

The link took me to the a description of the Pro and it states that the ER battery is an option.

I think for Build and Price we will have to rely on screenshots for those invited for now

I noticed the XLT has Copilot 360 and Active 2.0 as an option. Does that mean the XLT can have Bluecruise when equipped with Active 2.0?

Hopefully someone will be nice enough to share and hopefully Ford allows it.

No. It’s just the basic LKA. But to be honest CoPilot369 and Active 2.0 are good enough

Glad everyone got the email. I first thought it was an email telling me I was kicked to the curb and not in the first wave as my dealer stated

How many reservation holders will be invited in the first wave? my guess is between 5 and 10 per dealer, and maybe only one or two waves for the MY22.

5 invites per 3,100 dealers = 15,500 electric trucks
10 invites per 3,100 dealers = 31,000 electric trucks

"My dealer said" I was in the first 30 reservations out of more than 300... Not looking good for a MY22...

It all boils down to how many electric trucks Ford can produce, I hope they can make at least 40,000.

It would be so much easier if you knew your place in line and could simply do the math. I placed my order at 7:30AM on the 2nd day, and instead need to wait to navigate allocation, prioritization, and ZEV status. Who knows...

And Canada lags behind yet again...no emails here

I saw that too, maybe enough people asked for it and they changed their mind? Also looks like Pro will NOT offer the optional 9.6 kW power output. At least it’s not mentioned in the (very brief) description. Ugh, I really wanted that. If so I might have to bite the $bullet and get the XLT.

I just got my email notification.

The race is on. I'm just hoping the dealers don't jack up the price. My dealer told me they would... I just hope Ford finds a way to curb it.

I really like the part of the email that says "We'll stay in touch with you throughout this process..."

I'm really looking forward to more "F-150 Lightning Truck is electric made easy!" and "Tech that works as hard as you do!" emails.

Since the Pro is marketed for commercial use (i.e. contractors) I would think the 9.6 kW Pro Power will be an option.

Not all 3100 dealers are EV certified. That will affect it. Non-certified dealers can’t sell EVs. About 70% of dealers are certified or around 2100 or so.

I truly hope they stay in touch, so they can potentially make it harder for dealers to take advantage of us.
