Got my transfer to the Lightning plant and saw first dealer mannequin trucks go down the line!

Hyundai has a patent for this but I haven't seen it in production.

The Koenigsegg Gemara is probably has the closest thing to what you're describing.

Or the ID4's so-called "binnacle"

I don’t think so. I don’t see a way they could bring people through this plant safely.

Since we can't be there with you Joe, how's it going? You ramped up to 1000 trucks a day yet? Would love to hear any updates on either numbers or stories of how things are moving through. Does it feel like everything's on plan?

Probably Still at 10 a day if that

It looks like 200-300 per day based on the window stickers I've seen.

This is a trick question. If Joe replies he’s checking forums instead of building trucks. If he doesn’t reply…he’s not being a good member of the community.

Which is it Joe? Are you keeping us from our trucks? Or keeping us from information?

The Koenigsegg Gemara is probably has the closest thing to what you're describing. A wild speedometer that spins with the steering wheel and LCD controls on the spoke. It'll only cost you $1.7 million which seems like a bargain to me.

Exactly, once i saw that Ford was forcing me to get a $9500 option package to get an XLT ER i cancelled my Lightning reservation and bought a Gamera. It’ll have a way better resale than a 1st gen Lightning!

I'm just messing around, but 2200 dealers with a maximum avg of 5 per dealer and a 47% conversion. We should all have our trucks within 30 days

@Pioneer74 said they were shooting for 1000/wk out of the gate. Not sure if they're working 7 days but on a 5 day schedule 200-300/day would be right on target.

Based on the window stickers I've seen, it looks like they're on a 5-day schedule.

You said you were joking, but let's run the numbers to see what this scenario looks like:

2,200 dealers x 5 orders = 11,000 Lightnings
200 produced x 5 days = 1,000 per week
11,000 Lightnings / 1,000 per week = 11 weeks

So 11-22K Lightning orders should take between 3-6 months, which isn't too far off from what people are reporting for their build dates.

Has there been any confirmation of the number of orders they accepted for 2022MY? Seems like they stuck to the 15k number that’s been speculated but I haven’t seen anything confirming that.

What about the 47% conversion? Wouldn't that be alittle more than half of the orders vs the total invites in your break down?

I didn't include reservations/invites in the calculations.

We don't know how many invites Ford extended or how many orders they are processing. Those were calculations of how long it'd take to manufacture 11,000 orders at a rate of 200 per day.

How do you see the window stickers?

 

[p52Ranch]

Any word if Ford is close to releasing the Ok to Buy for the Lightning?
