How many reservation holders will be invited in the first wave? my guess is between 5 and 10 per dealer, and maybe only one or two waves for the MY22.

5 invites per 3,100 dealers = 15,500 electric trucks
10 invites per 3,100 dealers = 31,000 electric trucks

"My dealer said" I was in the first 30 reservations out of more than 300... Not looking good for a MY22...

It all boils down to how many electric trucks Ford can produce, I hope they can make at least 40,000.
Unofficial estimates are 10-15k for MY2022. They have marketed 55k for MY2023 and 80k MY2024.

Darren Palmer has stated on multiple occasions that 15k is incorrect for the first year. What it will actually be is unknown. It seems like Ford is doing everything they can to increase ev production.

Whether the number is 15K or 50K, an awful lot of people will be disappointed.

I just got my email notification.

The race is on. I'm just hoping the dealers don't jack up the price. My dealer told me they would... I just hope Ford finds a way to curb it.
Ford will not do anything except tell you to change dealers . Now is the time to be finding one that sells at MSRP and puts it in writing .

I also received the email from Ford. Nothing that I did not already know but at least they are communicating. Does not really matter to me what model year I receive as long as I get one. I'm just glad I got in a reservation before they closed down the site. Hoping for an XLT premium in Ice Blue but won't know for sure until they open the order banks and I can see what options go with what trim.

Not all 3100 dealers are EV certified. That will affect it. Non-certified dealers can’t sell EVs. About 70% of dealers are certified or around 2100 or so.
That is just US dealers - US + Canadian EV certified dealers is around 3000 total

Keep in mind not every dealer is going to get the same amount. Im sure every dealer will get some but it will be odd if the dealership that only had 3 reservations gets 5 trucks. i reserved in the first hour after the event and im 35th at my dealership out of 200+ i think and if we go by even distribution im looking at MY24 before i get one , (10 per dealer in 22 (30,000...) and then 20 (60,000) in 23)

Under the Pro it mentions available 300 mile extended range, but I understood that the extended range was only for Fleet orders.

That's correct.
I don't think that is correct. No where on the Lightning web site does it say that the ER battery is not available for the Pro but it does state that the ER battery is an option for the Pro.

Is the model guide an official Ford document?
If so where can I get one.
