No more Lightning ordering waves for MY2022 !

[Snakebitten]

I fully expect to receive a very similar email 1 year from today! ???

Maybe, just maybe I will get a shot at a 2024 model. I've always known that, so not really surprised

Here’s where we are with F‑150 Lightning orders.
CRAIG, thank you for reserving the F‑150® Lightning™ truck and joining us on this game‑changing journey.

We promised to keep you updated along the way, so we want you to know: all invitations to order a 2022 model year have been sent. We expect invitations to order future model years to begin this summer.

We realize that’s a long wait, so when we say, “Thank you for your patience,” we mean it. We are working on increasing production and will let you know when the ordering process begins.

Rest assured, your reservation still stands, and you can view the details below. If you decide to cancel your reservation, we understand. But we hope you’ll stick with us on this epic ride.

got the same email myself. very disappointed, i thought with a reservation number in the 18ks i'd have a shot at a truck this year.

 

[CRAIGC540]

I am not surprised and ready for the wait. I was ready to spend 70k when 60k is what I wanted to spend. Now this makes me wait for what I really want.

Interesting.

The highest scheduling VIN# I have seen is 005900.
A long way from 15,000 MY2022s.
‘Lowest VIN has been 002900 so I am guessing the 0-2900 must be dealers stock.
Fleet orders must be making up a large segment of MY2022?

I did not receive this letter as I ordered 2/04/22 so I guess that confirms I got very lucky.

Really poor handling by Ford. I am fine with not getting an order even with day of ressie. They should have been more forthcoming. Should I just order a Tremor?

Guess I will keep my $100 reservation intact and hope an early 2023 shows up....

In the meantime, my wife said to order the MME for her.....

Ford stopped taking 2022 MME model year orders last month...

It’s a bummer but also better to get 23 underway and probably get some out before year end. For those saying it was handled poorly… I’m not sure what you expect to do when there’s 200,000 orders for something that hasn’t had any production yet. They can’t send a daily update. All in all they’ve stayed true to the schedule they laid out at the reveal which is pretty amazing all things considered. If what you aren’t happy with is the perceived “order they went in” you’re not going to get any better with GM or anyone else new to the game. People are waiting on everything these days. They have a reason and rationale to the order they went in and it’s obviously multi factored (date, model, state, etc) it’s just near impossible to keep all 200,000 people happy. We can’t even get 4 people around my dinner table to agree on something… good luck with 200,000. Stay positive and keep watching out! If you bow out, hopefully you’re satisfied wherever you go. Have a great weekend! ?

So does this mean if you got an invite and ordered it will be built? Or if it hasn’t been scheduled it won’t be built?
I ordered mine but it hasn’t been scheduled

Not too long of a wait till this summer. Hopefully they have more Pros with the tax credit effectively gone that's the only one I will order anyway.

I know, I just placed a 2023 MME order online with a $500 deposit.
At least the MME will arrive in 5-6 months...

that settles my dilemma. I didn't know what I would do if my order came up, since I just bought a Ranger last year and was going to have to make an expensive decision. Now it is delayed for a while. Disappointed, but probably for the best. Without the $12,500 rebate we were hoping for and the $40k pro, this becomes a more-difficult choice. I can probably afford it, but I"m already stretched pretty thin with two kids in college one more in private school and my bills aren't getting any lower. Plus my motorcycles and woodworking hobbies aren't helping.

Same email...........not really surprised and, to be honest, I'm not disappointed. Gives me time to decide whether to trade/sell the Mach E or the 18 F150
