Order start in January

RETAIL CUSTOMER DEALER PRIORITIZATION PROCESS
- Each dealer will have the ability to prioritize a small number of loyal customers who are reservation holders.
- Dealers should utilize https://cni.dealerconnection.com between December 8th to 17th in order to complete the prioritization process.
- Deadline: Friday, December 17th at 11:59:59 PM Eastern (No exceptions)
- Number of customer prioritizations allowed is based on reservation volume at each
specific dealership as of December 1st - Dealers with <50 Reservations = 5 prioritizations available, 50-100 Reservations = 10
prioritizations available, & >100 Reservations = 25 prioritizations available
- Prioritization does not guarantee allocation. Dealer prioritization will be an input to
determine invitations to convert to an order, it is not correlated to vehicle scheduling timing or
amount of allocation at each dealership. - See F-150 Lightning Preparing For Order Bank Opening Playbook for step-by-step guide on
how to prioritize select reservation holders.

I think Ford is going to have a hard time converting all of these reservations for the following reasons:
1. 200K reservations is A LOT - It will be hard to build them in 3 years - thats more than 66K Lightings/year
2. Not a lot of people are willing to wait 1 year, let alone 2, 3 or more years for delivery
3. $100 isn't much to commit and it's fully refundable.
4. Several have commented - 1st generation anything is hard to get right from the start. With Ford announcing development of another, new F-series; why not wait just a bit longer for new battery technology and a platform that has bugs worked out.
IMHO, number of converted reservations will be directly related to how fast they can produce and deliver Lightnings.

Yes. Let's hope Ford realizes this. OTOH, if one is concerned about 1st generation bugs, a whole new design introduces yet another year's delay.
Would much appreciate anyone receiving configuration emails to post the date and time of their reservation.
Does this just mean Ford doesn't have them in its immediate production plans but could still reintroduce them later in the year?
Do you have your reservation date and time handy?
