Hol-E shit! He missed out cuz he couldn't decide on what color he wanted?? ahahaha. He deserves to miss out. I was between two colors..i flipped a coin. Fate decided my color.
Some Mach-E orderers changed the color of their car right up until it was released to production. Really bad if he let this happen over color.

Ya Idk what he was thinking. He shoulda known that he could modify later. I went on FB and read post and excuses. I laughed. It was a really good laugh. I mean even if ur undecided, just order it and if u change ur mind, in sure dealer will be very happy to give ur deposit back to have one in stock. Any word on xlt stock?

So I extended my reservation just in case that puts me in line right away for the '23 Pro...but probably doesn't matter. I checked and I can go back and still order another config before 3/31.

Now to see what Elon says about the Cybertruck next Wednesday. Depending on that news, I may come back and order the least popular XLT config, if it's still available. We'll see...

At the current pricing I am going to wait also. I am not buying a XLT for $12000 more for cloth and power driver seat.

I'm in a little bit of denial as I thought ordering within 15min of the presentation would allow me to have a shot.

Trash. All the stupid, smug tweets about how Ford doesn't play games like Tesla and then they do the same thing.

And letting a bunch of people prioritize in front of reservation holders at the last minute to buy up all the Pros in the first wave.

Garbage.

Yeah, we didn't count on @Ford Motor Company allowing dealers to sell priority slots or give them to the good ol' boys.

If they would have been straightforward about how they were going to work the system and only build 17 Pros, I could have moved my reservation to some dealer in Montana where I would have been #1 on their list and gotten into Wave 1.

But no, they've been misleading and un-transparent this whole time, throwing in the BS prioritization at the last minute and then offering only a handful of Pros to Ford dealer owners/employees/ADM buyers and a tiny handful of people who happened to be #1 at their dealer, even with late reservations.

Complete BS system and Ford screwed the people who have been most enthusiastic about the Lightning.

Priority at the last minute is BS, in general, but then to only make enough Pros for the very first wave of orders... way, way less than 1 per dealer, so very few actual, early reservation holders have a chance at it? Garbage and Ford should be embarrassed.

If they made this known everyone would have done the same plan as you and it would have been no different.
