I was wrong about the 500 mile EPA range. I looked it up and found that it was actually 520 miles for the Dream edition and a mere 471 for the Performance version.
And you make another assertion without documentation. How exactly has Lucid "lied about battery size"?

That URL is now getting an error 404 and various other articles are backtracking.Delivery date moved back to Sept/2022 for now. I thought Ford was going to be better than Rivian at planning, scheduling, and forcasting. Potential customers will be spending another ~1 year watching reviews and marketing videos.
Ford F-150 Lightning customer deliveries pushed back to Q3 2022
Ford representatives and DriveElectricTN recently held a webinar where several of the automaker’s key upcoming all-electric vehicles were discussed. While the event was primarily focused on fleets and fleet managers, Ford representatives James Morgan and Nathan Gyori provided some key updates...www.teslarati.com

I hate to admit I was wrong and the Ford Haters were right. Ford is giving Dealers all the power. Basically you Reservation time stamp doesn’t matter, dealers can prioritize who they want ahead in line which you guessed it, means Market Adjustment. Also, Ford is lying about the timeline, first deliveries will most likely happen as reported September 2022. Glad I didn’t cancel my Cybertruck Reservation.

Not only is switching product lines tough and time-consuming but the dealer network has more power over the legacy automakers than most folks realize.

Clearly, I missed some piece of news that would make sense of what you write. Did you get some communication from Ford that the rules had changed?

Dealers control ICE markets more than most realize.
Maybe he has inside scoop that’s relevant, but what he wrote has been reality for a long time albeit overlooked by most.
Apparently this went out to dealers.

Thanks for that.
One wonders how dealers will handle their "Prioritations"? Would they have to honor the reservation dates of their customers.? Or are they going to be free to extort a "marketing adjustment" out of the reservation holders listed with them in exchange for moving them up in line?
I'm guessing they will prioritize loyal Ford customers who have purchased multiple Ford vehicles over the years. There probably aren't too many combined loyal Ford/loyal Tesla customers out there so I'm doubting few Tesla owners will be at the front of the line. While we placed our reservation as early as possible, we haven't bought a Ford in nearly a decade.
I think you will be able to get on the priority list if you pay whatever Market Adjustment they ask for, and this is the problem. Ford created a bigger problem.
The f150 is such a mega hit for Ford the e version is bound to sell well based on name alone. The fact that they added so much utility to it like the rear power for tools etc makes it pretty attractive.
EV trucks gonna remain elusive and expensive for at least another year.

Please supply LEGIT info/ facts
My neighbor has the lucid air dream from original release last month. He likes it better overall than his model S. He gets 450 miles on average so far at full charge. I took it for about a 50 mile drive the fit and finish is exceptional as well as the ride.
Just keeping it real around here
