@JohnnyBeagle any updates on your reservation? I haven't heard shit yet, but I got a Ford pre approval email for financing which I didn't request. Not sure if that means I might get an email about ordering soon, or if it's just Ford being Ford.

Got the same email outta nowhere today, was wondering if it was related too. Absolutely no other trigger or reason that I could think of.

Yeah. Maybe they really want people to be like, "oh yeah, give me that platinum extended range, the email says I can afford it". lol

I got the same approval email, not orderable yet. I'm wave 2-4 I think

When do waves 2-4 get to order?

 

[matrix243]

Hopefully they sell a bunch so a reg cab sport version comes out.

 

[JohnnyBeagle]

When do waves 2-4 get to order?

Each wave is 2 weeks or so apart so I'm guessing 1/20 is wave 2

They avalanched it - you can drop the rear seats and the rear cab and load stuff like a regular cab long bed

I kinda like that. Wish it wasn't so ugly.

You going to buy and keep or buy and flip?

I think ford's supposed to be doing a no resale order on them like they did with the ford gt

 

[JohnnyBeagle]

Keep the Lightning
Keep the Cayman

Flip these Broncos
Probably flip the GC 4xe

It's rumored but up to the dealer to actually enforce

But you can fake a hardship pretty easily

Lightning WAVE 2 Emails Coming 1/19 For Ordering on 1/20 – Per Ford Customer Service

I spoke with Ford customer service and that is what the lady told me YESTERDAY. Also, my dealer called me TODAY to say they have been informed of a dealer allocation of 10 trucks for the next wave of orders. They have me #8 on the list so they told me to watch out for the email next...

Ram teases their next offering: https://www.ramtrucks.com/revolution.html

Some quick math on that pic assuming 20" wheels, 122" wheelbase vs. the 1500's 144" so it looks like it will just be a midsize/Rivian sized

 

[Nikuk]

I got the "it's time to order" email a little bit ago. Super tempted to cancel my RAM Laramie order, but I'm pretty sure I'll sit out the first couple model years.
