Finally saw Lightning in Austin area.

I appreciate your input. If I place order when order window opens, I should expect to wait 1.5 years (at least)? Thanks.

I'm assuming it will take Ford 1.5 years to get through their current backlog of pre-orders. It could take them longer. So if they allowed pre-orders again today and you were first, then I'd guess you might be able to get a truck in 1.5 to 2 years.

But if they go through their current backlog of orders and then allow new customers to place orders 1.5 years from now, it might only take 2-3 months for you to get one from that point.

This is all my speculation.

I have had mine in Austin (Southwest) for past month or so. But I am Antimatter Blue.

What dealer did you take delivery from? I’m in Circle C area and want to be sure there’s no nonsense from the dealership when I’m finally able to order.

I appreciate your input very much. I think I'll be in a rest home before the vehicle arrives.

Crap. Where did you get yours from?? Sticker price? Dealer in Houston just told me maybe 1.5 years to get a Lightning.

I'm not overly enamored with my Lightning ...does not fit my driving patterns. Considering selling soon. Since you are local if interested let me know.

Leo was my sales guy. There was a Rapid Red Lariet waiting pick up

Mine was the Rapid Red one (I’m near Avery ranch). Leo was also my sales guy and told me I was retail customer #2.

Charging / towing pic added for your amusement ;-)
