I went to the Charlotte event on Aug 16th I am not a dealer or commercial customer I can tell you about 95% of the people weren't either. The show floor "Platinum" was locked up and only the bed and frunk was able to be touched/viewed. The had the stripped down rolling chassis on site and one of each tier as a test ride unit..... It was a great test ride heavy rain with puddles everywhere. The take off from a complete stop to the twist and turns not once was traction was lost or tire skid. Amazing ride

I just contacted the Ford team and they said...it is encouraged that commercial customers sign up. To me, that means it's not completely out for us customers. So I signed up in Los Angeles. It's worth a try to get an early look.

There appears to be two sets of events I believe on the same day at the same location.
This is the link for the retail consumer events. I think they are using the same vehicles at both events as all the videos I have seen have a Pro and an XLT being used for the ride along.
