If I do get to be part of one of the waves, and I order quickly, does anybody know how much a dealer will generally want to take as deposit? $10k? Half of the total? I want to make sure I have the money ready.

I ordered a RCSB and my sales manager required a $500 non refundable deposit just in case I back out of the deal because he claims “that truck can’t be sold in the Detroit area”

Edit: Sorry I didn’t know you meant lightning only

My Dealer wants $500 deposit. This is just to see if you are a serious buyer. Really they shouldn’t care because they will make lots of $$ on order people don’t follow through with.
