Has everyone who reserved and is eligible for ordering been contacted? I haven’t gotten an email that says I can order or not this year.

Ford is doing the 22MY in 6 "waves". Thursday was the 1st wave and seems like a small number were invited to test the system. The remaining waves are every other week.

How much was the deposit? Ford said there would be a deposit...

100 at initial signup, 500 at order.

Thanks! Do you know if that $500 is refundable? Meaning you'd give up your order? Just curious.

The amount is going to vary by dealer fyi. I've seen a lot for $500. Some for $1,000 and I know my dealer has asked for $1,500.

Unclear. It seems like it could be but if it’s a processing fee that’s probably not.

Was told at my dealership today when finalizing my order the deposit is refundable. This was in Ontario, Canada.

About 10 minutes after I placed the order (which was 1/2 hour before I got the email yesterday - I checked right at 5pm) I got a phone call from a confused salesperson who said “thanks for your interest but we don’t have any lightnings on the lot… is this a special order or something?”
I said yes, and apparently she sent it into the queue immediately.
Now I park and wait for an update about production.
Grats! That's funny, when I ordered mine - the GM of the dealer was out for the day, and he'd let me know ahead of time he'd call me back today. Well when I put in the order yesterday, my salesperson immediately called me but was freaked out as to how I got the order in haha. He refused to submit it even after I explained. Yours trusted you more!
If the dealership is that ignorant, do you trust them to do maintenance one gen 1 all electric product?
I don't trust any of them, including Tesla - and that's based off of experience with mine. It is what it is, but after seeing how little fucks Tesla can give once they have your money, I'm entirely open to giving Ford a shot. I don't need to trust them to hold them to their warranty, which I've had to do with all electric brands I've owned - unfortunately (none have had 0 issues).
Can't be worse than Nissan either!
If you're asking me if electric cars are worth the dealership / people hassle? Absolutely, 100% - marginal benefit faaaarrr outweighs the marginal cost to me. It's not like dealerships were wizards with my old ICE cars neither....
Its amazing how clueless some dealerships are.
Lucky bastard. Happy cake and truck day.
Awesome
Congrats
