I did a reservation when the Lightning was first announced. I get news from Ford emails but no information on when I can order. How does it work, am I missing something? My dealer says they haven’t heard anything yet.
When it's time for you to order, you should get communication from Ford, usually by email or a call from your dealer.
You can check on your reservation by logging into your Ford account. When it's time to order, you'll get your reservation listing will have a "start your order" button.
MY22 is basically done ordering, with only just a few clean up orders trickling in. Rumors are that MY23 orders will start in July, with production starting mid October. MY23 will likely take care of most remaining reservation holders.
