Wave 1 Lightning invitation email thread [Update: Emails AFTER 5PM ET]

[jb56]

Me too, keep up the great conversation, guys. I too told my dealer sales guy about the web site reservation check using https://cni.dealerconnection.com/index.aspx , and he replied " I can see it but no names are attached". Told him my reservation number and am awaiting his reply. Here in northern Utah where full-size trucks are really popular. This is going to be fun if Ford and really deliver, hope so. Our big 98 kWh batteries will have an 8-year warranty, right? Fun stuff.

Hi from northern Utah. I'm 14th out of 700 plus, so not expecting the email. I was surprised I'm 14th though, since I reserved less than 5 minutes into the presentation on the first day. Utah buyers must be chomping at the bit.

Huh??? My MME conversion was 6/30/2020.

I'm in Phoenix, and we don't have the DST abomination

LOL you still have to account for the other states that do have it.....still another 45 minutes before it hits 5pm on the east coast.

Lucky you. I hate changing the clocks twice a year.

Also, when the summer hits, we don't want to save daylight. We want to get rid of it.

My dealer said it is not a race to the dealership. He said that orders are expected to be scheduled in reservation order within the particular wave.

Now that would be some news if true!

It makes sense based on the Playbook. What I mean is, the instructions say that if the trim you're selecting is unavailable, you can defer or pick another trim. This implies the gating / restriction process is in the selection/order placing.

There's no workflow path for a user selecting a trim (it WAS available), but dealer took too long to "accept" so now customer has to go back and pick another. The only guidance says not too take TOO long to accept the customer's order or it could delay delivery. I'm guessing they don't want dealers to wait to accept Wave 1 orders by the time Wave 2 is out

Hey, get off the ford website everyone you’re slowing it down. I’ll let ya know when I’m done ordering ?.

 

[Moetel6]

I'm locked in to ready position...oh snap....

 

[Clickbeast]

My ordering is ready on the back end, just opened, no email.

EDIT: Clicking configure leads to a screen to enter zip, but no trims show up. Still getting loaded I'd guess

EDIT2: Trims loading!

EDIT3: Order placed, deposit of $500 paid

Welp for anyone reading, don't wait for an email, I STILL don't have one and it's been 10 mins since I finalized my order. I wouldn't expect one if you've heard from your dealer already, go to my account --> reservations, the configure button should be there.

Went for Lariat+,

When I loaded, ALL TRIMS showed available, with same ETA. I figure that will change soon, but I had the chance to order the pro

Go to my account --> reservations --> then Configure from the entry listed (only that menu showed the button)
