Next wave of invitations to convert reservation to order will go out this summer… for deliveries in the fall

There appears to be a disconnect between the dealers and the new electric vehicles division of Ford. Mine had received no word of a new wave of invitations to convert reservations to orders.

Please get it together Ford. Some of us would really like to know.

I think she was trying to convey the start of MY23 ordering will start this summer.

"for deliveries in the fall" - fall of 22 or 23?

Don't really care if it is MY22 or MY23 - as long as I get one.

There is no reason why Ford would be talking to dealers about this yet, as it's still months away.

One reason would be so that dealers could tell people like me whether there is a chance they will be getting their Lightnings any time soon.

Dealers rarely know this sort of thing well in advance. They weren’t much help to most people during the MY22 order waves, and they won’t be much help to us awaiting MY23 ordering either. I’m not saying that’s how it should be, but it’s how it is. These forums almost always know more than the dealers. In general, if it’s not going to result in a sale today, the dealer doesn’t care.

Every rule has exceptions, which is why I used the word "rarely."

I have read that they will be taking orders for 2023 in midsummer and delivering 2023 Lightnings in Nov. and Dec. They plan on making 80'000 for 2023.
