How many Lightning reservations does your dealer have?

[gorwell]

I was just curious to get a sense of how many reservations each dealer is getting.

To start off with:

My dealer said they had 650-700 reservations. I'm in California.

I'm not sure if that's good news or bad news either case, I reserved within 18 minutes, so I should be on the "low" side. Not sure if it makes sense to try to switch, they are pretty responsive and the other dealer I was with initially outright stated they will add markup.

Also, still debating whether or not I'm getting a Pro or an XLT extended.

My dealer said 77 when called them like 2 weeks ago and asked

I don't know what is as of now, but I reserved the day after it opened and my dealer said he had 9 at that point. I'm in Ohio.

My buddy at the dealership told me 80. The sales person I’m working with won’t tell me where I fall.

In his defense, he probably has no idea. Ford's reservation timestamp is harder to decipher than Egyptian hieroglyphics.

As of 2 weeks ago my dealer had about 90 reservations.

Two Nashville-area dealers told me they both had around 150 reservations each. My "home" dealer couldn't tell me where I fell on the list.

If they are anything like the Bronco reservations, they won't be worth anything. Ford has decided to screw the Bronco reservation holders by changing back to allocation model and delivering stock orders over reservations. It's sad.

Number 5 at my dealer. Reserved in the first 30 minutes. I’m a lock for the first batch of allocations at my dealer.

What dealer are you reserved with? I am in Sacramento and went through Harrold Ford. They haven't been real responsive and would not discuss price or mark ups when I finally was able to get through to someone there.

Harrold Ford was my initial dealer and said they would add markup. I'm with Folsom lake ford now.

It took me a while to get that info, about 2 months of emailing to get a reply.

This is the email I got:

We do not know what the specific market adjustment is going to be on our Lightnings until we know how many we are going to be allocated. They will be sold for over MSRP we do expect due to the limited allocations.

Over 70 and I’m the second one on his list.

Hey I'm a few minutes up the road from you.

Not sure what my number is but my sales droid said I have one of the lowest reservation #'s he's seen at Mullinax in West Palm Beach. I'll be configuring an Antimatter Blue Pro on Oct 26th, provided they agree to my X-plan/MSRP paperwork agreement.

Got word that I'm 3 of 700, so I should be good.

Asked another dealer around me and they said they had 368 reservations, so a lot around me.

My dealer wouldn’t tell me where I’m at. I’m a day three res so I don’t expect one next year, but I’m hoping ?.
