If you're from a ZEV state, that trumps reservation time in many cases. If the ZEV dealer I know gets the same allocations in the last few waves that they got so far, they will end up with around 50 MY22 Lightnings. Non-ZEV dealers are trending towards 10 Lightnings if each wave stays consistent (based on what I've read on here).

My guess is MY22 allows Ford to check some ZEV box, MY23 is going to be a much more consistent nationwide rollout. This is based purely on wave 1-3 order numbers confirmed so far, I don't have any inside info or anything.
I'm from a ZEV state, NY. My upstate dealer had zero for wave 1 and zero for wave 2. I'm 6th out of 60 on their list. I'm baffled!

Have you asked if your dealer knows of their allocations for MY22? I'm nearly in the same boat in my area. Waiting sucks!...especially since I reserved at 830pm at the reveal.
Any other "Day One" reservation holders out there waiting for their invites??

I reserved within the first few minutes, as fast as the website would allow, and I'm #15 at my dealership. Ive tried figuring out my exact res time using the method others have suggested but to no avail. I think this is even more frustrating than the Bronco launch! Come on Ford, I've been driving BMW's and Audi's for years and you're not making this easy!

You may also have received an email from ford confirming your reservation. There should be a time on that email from them.

Are wave 3 orders happening tomorrow? Is the pro model sold out for all of 2022?

Yes & Yes, at least that is the latest speculation regarding the PRO trim

I’ll repeat, only Ford knows who is getting an invitation. The Prioritization made by dealers is just one factor. It’s the reason dealers says they have you at #5, claim you are ordering a Lightning this week and then are confused why you didn’t get to order.

I had a very very low number on few moments after the site opened and my dealer almost took my order then backed out. My guess is some big wig is taking my truck.

We’ve seen like two forum members in MO get invites. No EV-certified dealer I’ve talked to here has had one. You may have an extra zero on that “10”.

My dealer told me that on wave 1. He was wrong. But good luck!
Yeah, I’m taking it with a grain of salt. I’ll post the email from Ford if I get it tomorrow (or an update if I don’t)

My Dealer in MO told me he's converted 2 orders. It might not be typical, but it gives me some comfort.

Then maybe it's a more dealer specific decision and Ford has some behind the scenes scorecard determining allocation? Maybe there isn't any sound reasoning and it's all dumb luck?
