It is scary that the Lightning I will order is higher priced than the 2018 Grand Sport Corvette I bought four years ago.
It's higher then the hybrid Plantium I ordered on Tuesday. Figures I would receive the invite today for the lightning. But I can't swallow the $25.6k price difference.

It's even scarier that vroom offered me $5k more for the car I bought off them 11 months ago....Strange times

Haha, same here. I bought 2009 911 in 2019. Last year the local Porsche dealership offered me $12k more than I paid for it.

Congrats to Darren Palmer and Ford's Lightning Product Manager, you got me to spend $15k more than I was planning! You did your job! :)

5/19 at 7:48 (Mountain time) reservation. I knew I wouldn't be in wave 3, (or 4, 5, or 6), but because I apparently like to be irritated by this process, I logged on to check anyway to really drive home the disappointment :)

Ordered. TN. Lariat ER. Carbonized Gray Metallic with Max Tow. $500 deposit, no markup.

Reservation Time Stamp 8:45 PM Central Time 5/19/21.

Seems that my dealer's lack of communication about the order process was due to cluelessness and not deviousness.

Edit: I had actually given up hope about getting an invite this year and put in a deposit for an R1T on Tuesday. Correlation is not causation but I'm a little suspicious that the Rivian order let to my Lightning order invite.

$1500 deposit..was not aware of this..you guys?
On an XLT SR? That's kinda high...mine was $500. But I think it's up to each individual dealer.
