I am. Ordered a little later than I should have unfortunately which was about 18hrs after the launch but it is what it is.

I started placing an order at the moment the link went live…took me about 10 minutes to place the order though, so I’m sure I wasn’t numero uno.

I placed my order unfortunately about 18 hrs after it went live. I checked with my friend/salesman and they have 200+ orders at this point. He said I am about 60th on the list. People are already cancelling left and right because they can't get a fully loaded platinum for 40k(lol...just kidding but thats the gist). So I hope that will drop about 25-30% of the people in front of me. Another few won't place their orders. Hopefully being 40th or so in line will get me a 2022. If not, 2023 it is.

$100 will get you in line. I've updated the first post with that information along with a link to sign up!

Hmmm I guess I could take a break from buying Doge Coin and just put a deposit down just in case

I’m in line as of tonight. I really like the truck but without tax incentives, I’ll likely drop out when the time comes.

I will bet that the new administration figures out a way to renew the tax incentives and maybe even increase them.

Agreed, I thought there was talk that it would actually increase with the infrastructure bill.

According to Automotive News, Farley said that Ford has already “made a call on volume,” but he declined to say what 2022 F-150 Lightning production would be limited to. According to Wolfe Research, the Ford Rouge Electric Vehicle Center is capable of producing 80,000 trucks per year, a number it determined based on available capacity data.

I made my reservation before the event was over and also had to wait about ten minutes to get one. Don't know my number, but I know it's less than 22K, so I'm confident I'll get one next year. Can't wait to see full pricing and option availability.

Is there a way to find how many are ahead of you... I reserved mine the next day ... here's my resrvation 10873712

I placed my order about 2 days after the announcement of this vehicle. I think 40,000 preorders had been placed by this time. Assuming some of those ahead of me drop out, when do you think I could get one of these? 2022, 2023?

I bet you have a good chance of getting one before the end of 2022.

Not yet, but we are trying to figure out how to tell that from the reservation numbers posted here.
