2023 Lariat SR Lightning
Still hoping for the best- I noticed under my reservation there is a preapproval certificate link now. Says approved up to $101k- guess Ford wants me to get the platinum

Wait, SR vs ER has different scheduling? I don't remember having a chance to specify anything...

I reserved the morning after, hoping for a Pro. Not looking great.

Pro's have been sold out since wave 1. You will have to push your reservation to next MY.

I'm okay with waiting, I just need the deal to involve the $7,500 gubmint credit. If they raise prices on the cheapest offering or the credit diminishes, that'd probably kill it for me.

Unfortunately that pre-approval cert doesn't mean anything. It's been on my reservation for a few weeks now and through at least one disappointing invite wave.

Your reservation is just a theoretical place in line depending on how your dealer plays favorites and did not include any choices. We will specify trim, battery, etc when we finally get to order.

Still no schedule date for my Lariat ER. I'm kind of surprised. No real options selected. I wonder if the paint color would delay it?

almost true, im #1 on reservation list as well im #1 on the ranking list or whatever they call it and my order still hasnt been pulled for a date. This system is flawed in so many ways. Good news is to the first owners like the Bronco if you want an extra 20-30k you can flip it!

Which is exactly what I meant by “theoretical”?

The difference is you were prioritized to place a Lightning order in front of everyone else at your dealer. Complaining that your order hasn’t been picked up for build yet really doesn’t fit in this thread.

The OP started this thread wishing good luck to those still waiting in the supposed line to place a Lightning order.

Yes the system is flawed when you allow people to move to the front of the order line.

It will either diminished by the time you get to order next year. It your order takes longer than early next year it might not even be around.

Maybe they should throw in a subsidy for coal fired steam cars as well to make sure he is onboard.

I don't think Ford is capable of making 200K Lightnings in this first year. I thought the incentive went away only after they had reached the 200K production threshold. That's the reason you don't get an incentive if you buy a Tesla today.
