If you don’t have a reservation, at this point I think it’s kind of moot. Ford is ramping up the number of lightnings in 2023 and by the time they get through the current reservations next year, by 2024 you will probably be able to walk onto a dealership lot and buy one in stock. You can probably find one at a dealership now but with a markup of $5k-$20k. There’s been a couple reports of people finding them for msrp.

Agree - until the current reservation holders have been given an offer to order, you won't find any dealer stock. Once Ford goes thru the reservation list, you can either place a special order or find one that the dealer has ordered for themselves.

In So Cal, any customer abandoned Lightning are going for $20K + due to the high gas prices compared to the rest of the nation.

Plus we get additional state incentives: $2000 CVRP, $750 CCFR, $1000 local utility or air management district, HOV exemption stickers, etc...

No. You cannot order a Lightning from Ford Motor Company.

You can see if any dealers have local stock and buy from them...but you cannot pick your options or color.

Ford won't open reservations/order bank back up until all current reservation holders have a CHANCE to order. They are expecting to get through all remaining reservations by summer 2023. After that we don't have answers on how the new ordering process will work.
