"Now, this kind of demand means many of you won’t get a 2022 F‑150 Lightning™ truck," - does anyone know how many of us? Is it still 185,000 of us as per Reuters?

Last I hard was the where going to make 15,000 and then they came out and said they were going to double production so that’s would make it 30,000 for 2022

Don't hurt my feelings. I can wait for the bugs to be worked out.

Update after watching the webminar:

While this was mostly focused on fleet talk, the one big relevant reveal for us retail order holders is when Ford representatives James Morgan and Nathan Gyori provided this timeline for Lightning ordering, production and deliveries. Unfortunately, deliveries have slipped from the original Spring estimate to now September.

• January 2022: Lightning order banks open for both retail and fleet
• June 2022: Lightning production begins
• September 2022: First Lightning deliveries begin
