^ if you find out let me know. My dealer lately hasn't returned my calls. I have 3 other local dealers I may change my reservation too, if they drag their feet. At the Lightning event I was at recently, the marketing people told me, might not be able to build it until the very end of this year. ?

I reserved mine the day of the premier as well. Looking forward to being able to order one. I contemplated for a while, either the Lightning or Tremor. Both have benefits for what I need, and use and both similarly priced ( I suspect )

A couple of good articles today from the two local Detroit newspapers.

Quote:

Ford confirmed it will double production of the highly-anticipated 2022 Ford F-150 that will be built with a battery pack instead of a gas tank.

Quote:

The investments and jobs will be spread across three plants: the new Rouge Electric Vehicle Center in Dearborn where the F-150 Lightning will be assembled; the Van Dyke Electric Powertrain Center in Sterling Heights that is ramping up production of electric motors and transaxles for electric vehicles; and the Rawsonville Components Plant in Ypsilanti, where workers will assemble battery packs for the Lightning.

The dealer realized as soon as I walked into the door that the email I received was meant for Maverick customers - the internet sales guy somehow got the two mixed up? Oh well.

You walked into the door? Did it hurt?
