Saw in the build post that someone has an XLT ER scheduled for build, looks like the main build priority is the extended range battery.

I wonder if that has to do with the EPA certification.

I received my invitation, was ready to order then found out the dealer BS’d me and added $3k markup. I sent them an email to confirm and they came back to me saying $3k was a mistake it’s supposed to be $5k. Contacted another dealer, they said yes to MSRP. Picked up the phone, called Ford and the rest is history. Again, I did not lose my place in line, was still able to order and have my truck scheduled for production.
Hope you name and shamed. Fuck em dealers.

I ended up going Iced Blue Silver for the Lightning. For me, it was between that or Carbonized Gray. Tough call.
Iced blue must be one of the best as it's the predominant color one in the Glamour Shots and PR. It's beautiful. I really wanted Rapid Red, then I didn't? Must've been Alot easier in the early days of automobiles, "what shade of Black would you like?". Can't go wrong whatever color you go with.

Congratulations. I don't know why mine hasn't been scheduled. I reserve my truck 3 minutes after the video started so I know I'm one of the first. I ordered in Wave 1 on January 6th and yet I still have nothing. And I ordered a Lariat extended range as most people on here have.

my take on the trims that are being produced first, even though it does not yet include my very early PRO reservation and order, sadly, is that Ford is taking the road of producing first the most EXPENSIVE trims, with the most PROFIT for each, to show the public, and Ford shareholders, that this 'EV revolution' is happening, and is GOOD for business - their second quarter numbers, which should include many of the early April and May Lariat and Platinum builds, will increase the bottom line the most, early on. The XLT and PROs will come later in the third quarter, to my own chagrin : /

Every day I log in multiple times hoping to see scheduled for production. Sigh
Do we know if there is going to be a schedule going forward when they release new production dates? I'm guessing these won't trickle out but rather be a weekly event?

With the early Mach E builds they announced build schedules every two weeks on Thursday. So next release March 10?
Interesting point about other EV lines being every 14 days, I was looking at the rest of the forum for trends with the ICE-F150 build threads, they are weekly, but they have a huge volume too!

I was hoping Lightning would be weekly too, keeping lines of communication as frequent, but bi-weekly is no worse than what we're doing waiting for order waves.

My dealer (Canada) told me one of their trucks will be scheduled next week for June build but not sure who will get chosen

yes, I'm quite sure there are actually many on the road, testing and doing 'real world' driving - Ford's ROUGE center has been producing these trucks for a while now, they actually HAVE to in order to get the facility up and ready for everyday mass production. The first 'customer' built-to-order unit, though, won't go into production until early April, maybe, as some are now being emailed their scheduling 'week'. What day of the week it is built, how long it sits on the transport lot, and how long it takes to get delivered to the selling dealer will all play into 'when' the first customer receives their LIGHTNING - yes, it might be the first one produced, but it also could be the 125th one produced - there are a lot of variables here.
