Saw this mentioned elsewhere but Ford has posted "F-150 Lightning™ Reservation Closure and Order Wave Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)" here: https://www.ford.com/support/how-to...ng-reservation-closure-and-order-information/. Some interesting tidbits:
How many F-150 Lightnings will be produced for the 2023 MY? We are currently ramping up to a target of approximately 80,000 units for the 2023 MY.
If my preferred vehicle configuration is not available, can I hold my place in line for a later MY vehicle? No, once invited to order, you will have the availability to select any of the current models available. You can also cancel your reservation and receive a deposit refund at any time. (So no more extensions for Pro and XLT.)
When will ordering begin for future model years? We plan on inviting customers to order our next model year next summer, 2023.
If I purchase a later model year F-150 Lightning, will my price be protected? Ford will honor the price on the day an order is placed.
Note: A F-150 Lightning reservation holds a place in line to order but does not constitute an order. Future model year pricing will be provided when available.
These next two confirm there will be dealer stock orders:
Can I still get a 2022 F-150 Lightning? Yes, dealer stock ordering will continue to be available for the remainder of the 2022 model year, so you will still be able to purchase these vehicles from dealers upon arrival. The change simply is that you will be unable to place a custom retail order until the 2023 MY opens again in August 2022.
Why are you no longer accepting 2022 F-150 Lightning orders? Once orders reach a particular threshold for the model year, we no longer accept orders to ensure we have sufficient production and commodity supply to build customer orders. Dealers will continue to be able to submit orders for F-150 dealer stock inventory. If selected for scheduling within existing commodity constraints, you will be able to purchase these vehicles from dealers upon arrival
Of course we know that Ford Marketing some times has issues distinguishing between MY, Calendar Year, run-rate numbers but the 80,000 sounds good. That likely includes fleet.
