Reserved within first 15 minutes, but dealer just told me I won't get a Lightning until 2023.

The issue may end up being the price. Easy to increase the MSRP for a new model year saying they added spare tire or bumper or such.

Really? You're gonna go there?

Elon is the king of the bait and switch...
I love Elon for his raw and candid persona.
He is human, not perfect but at least he has gotten rid of the middleman.
He always has come through but he does piss off people by over promising and under delivering in terms of timeline.

I was Finally able to order, wave 4, had to order a Lariat, almost $80k !!!!
But after finally figuring out the differences between the models, this is the bitchen one I would want anyways. Ford makes it so hard to decipher the actual differences between the models and what you get for the money with each step up.
But it is no bargain. I would buy the Rivian over the Ford Lariat in a heartbeat if they were actually available within a reasonable time period.

I wouldn't worry too much about crazy price increase. We can thank Chevy for setting a $39k price tag on the Silverado EV. So Ford will stay close to $39k at least until those come out IMHO.

I'll wager that it has a price increase before it launches or sales will be severely limited like the Pro. We have record inflation now and it doesn't launch for about 18 months.

Elon and his brother Kendall may have gone one step beyond, following Martha Stewart into federal prison for securities law violation, with the possible insider trading sale of over $100 million of stock ahead of Elon's public statements regarding his own sales. More to come...

I got my reservation on 5/20/21 and after calling my dealership, was told that they will only get 2 Lightnings this year. The sales guy wouldn't even tell me what number I was at the dealership. They said it was all up to Ford and not them. :unsure:

The last thing that Tesla Fan Boys need is a martyr. They're already one step away from being a religious cult.
