"Shenanigans" Says it all. I thought Ford was going to make any and all orders online with delivery only to a designated dealer for delivery.

How many will look into the F-150 Lightning?

like it or not..
probably when they have a clearer picture of order to delivery timelines. Like it or not ... Ford (and Cadillac with the Lyriq) don't think it's a great customer experience taking a full config/ order now and then delivering the car to the customer in 10-12 months.
Tesla let's you order a MY LR with 19" wheels *now* but the site states that delivery is April to July *next year* and forums are full with folks getting delivery dates pushed back once you get closer in.
Just a different approach. I would be ok with ordering now and waiting vs. ordering in November and getting it in April.

Tesla is over 100 years behind other US car manufacturers..... hasn't seemed to slow them down yet.
a CT delivering close to 500 miles would be EPA rated at least ~550 miles and Tesla won't sell you such a Cybertruck for less than ~$120k. So there's that.
the ~400 miles Silverado will be already $105k+ ... Tesla isn't in the business undercutting direct competition price wise by tens of thousands of $ when they have more orders than production capabilities. A very mundane AWD Model Y already costs close to $70k

Bingo. Without question. No searching for dealers that might keep their verbal promise for no markup on delivery, no need to get it in writing that they'd keep their word, no negotiating with the finance manager, no surprise "market adjustment" on delivery. I knew, to the penny, what I would pay for my Tesla when I ordered it online. Right now, in the current market, there are a number of cars that I would really like. I've driven them and they're good. Tesla's absolutely honest pricing and their supercharger network, balanced against the dealership mode and today's charging network, make it a no brainer. I hope both of those improve, it will be a delight to comparison shop cars in the future.
You have a dealer who doesn't do any of this? Great. Not in my area. Now if Tesla would only fix their service experience, and answer the phone.
This Would be somewhat true if they up and decided to start making ICEs. But not at all true in terms of EVs.

Use the app. In my experience they respond quickly to the app. I've had two software issues in the last six months, and they have responded within the hour, and sent an update to fix the problem within two hours.
Well I did get my Lightning at MSRP. So far so good. There are some Tesla features that have spoiled me and I wish Ford would get their heads out their arse and fix. The truck drives great. The only thing the ICE has over it is range and the ability to quickly fill up. Other than that this truck is Jack of all trades.

Wassup with that ugly opening on the front bumper. Also that light plastic looks very ugly and cheap.

I think Ford desperately wants to control their dealer network, but it's become the tail that wags the dog
I know, it can compare to the great CT and that beautiful wiper blade and that timeless design lmao ….Your stock is safe, don’t worry
LoL. Ford is so innovative. How is that range with huge battery.
It’s actually very accurate, about 285 on 90% not bad at all…. Speaking of innovative, lately Genesis is eating Tesla’s lunch …and I like how a Tesla can back up your home like a Light…. Oh wait, you’re right, Ford doesn’t have Fat noises…
If people would stop paying the high dealer markups on these vehicles the trucks would sit on dealers lots until the dealer marked them down. Costing the dealer money each day the vehicle sits on the lots. But people want the greatest and latest right now and dealers know it.
