I got the “your order has been updated “ email last night. It changed my pricing raised it by $4,000. And moved my delivery date by a few days. You think Ford would honor price protection.this just gives the dealer more ammo to not honor it. Good thing I took screenshots before it happened.

Woke up to my surprise now. For people tracking, my blend date was 1/15 (actual 1/17 on the tracker). Ford chat said there was a chip hold and est 2/6 delivery. Not far off. It'll be a nice little valentines gift to myself.

Were you part of an earlier wave that got pushed back? Wondering what the $4,000 was added for since I thought only the Pro got the most recent price increase.

The Lightning will be replacing a Prius. Gonna see what the dealer offers, but I'm expecting an extreme low ball offer so I'll probably just private sale it (or hold onto it for long road trips).

Yeah get prepared for a lowball. I have a 1500 RAM I wanted to trade/sell and the dealership i bought it from offered me 22k while carmax offered me 25k and carvana offered me 27.5k. I'm going through the steps for Carvana now to say the least...

Tried trading my Bolt, but they won’t take it due to the recall. So I started the buy back process 2 days ago

I reached out to my dealer to see if he could track the truck better than Ford chat (haven't had any new news since the evening of 1/25) and my dealer was actually able to show me my truck is currently in East Brookfield Mass! ETA is 2/6 and I'm hoping it stays close to that.

EDIT:

Good news keeps coming in this morning for me. Dealer also just confirmed that i WILL be eligable for price protection after confirming pricing with their Zone Manager. Hope everyone else gets good price protection news as well.

Sounds to me like it is actually on a CSX train to East Brookfield (as is mine). From the CSX tracking phone number I got this info a few minutes ago for mine. "Arrived at Walbridge Ohio on Jan 26 9:06pm, Schedule to arrive East Brookfield MA Jan 31 3:45 PM". Would make sense that it takes about a week to truck it up from MA to ME.

The issue I had with this memo vs the one for 5k earlier in the year, is this one doesn't mention retail buyers, only commercial and government customers.
Yeah that’s my concern as well. From what I’m seeing here Pro buyers are getting the $7k private offer and/or $5k price protection, but I haven’t heard of anyone getting $9k price protection, either at the time of the sale or promised as a rebate when the dealer receives it from Ford.
I got my “built” email from Ford today saying the truck will arrive at the dealer some time between today and Thursday, so I’ll probably reach out to the dealer today and see what they say.

I think we were one of the first groups to have the extra 4k added on top on our sticker price. The ford site still shows the older 51k MSRP, its just my sticker that has the new updated price.
