Ford allowed a handful of Pro orders in wave 1 and swiftly marked a vehicle that had not yet begun production as "sold out." What else do they have to do to make everyone understand that they were never interested in selling it to the public?

Pro will no longer be an option. Price increases across the board. <Mark it.

I guess the long and short of it is, I don't expect fleet orders for the pro to be filled in numbers any higher than those that were filled for retail customers, but I would welcome being proven wrong.

I'm curious to see how Ford is going to produce fleet orders requiring a 5 vehicle minimum of a vehicle that is an obvious loss leader. Or, if fleet orders are profitable (as Ford has claimed they will be), then one would have to assume that retail orders of the Lightning Pro would be...

I was just wondering if we had any fleet buyers lurking in here. Specifically, if anyone was able to order the pro ER. Thanks.

Why I chose the Lightning: Ford did a glitzy unveiling for a truck that starts at under $40,000 before tax credits with available range of up to 300 miles. Why I un-chose the Lightning: Starting price of $75,000 for 300 mile battery.

...and I'd bet my salary that the $39,974 price tag is out the window for MY 2023.

I would imagine drilling into a lithium battery pack could be much worse.

Careful calling it a bait and switch. Your thread will get locked.

More like "Wave 1 was intentionally limited in order to satisfy as little demand as possible for the Pro but still be able to say we sold some."

It doesn't make a difference. If ford even offers the Pro for 2023 MY, it will be at a drastically increased price.

I have some thoughts I'd like to put on that survey...

I'm going to name my pro Santa Claus, because it will never exist.

Guys like me who already have a whole-home Generac and wanted to use the lightning as a truck and not a generator are still bitterly disappointed by Ford's bait and switch.

My disappointment? Getting psyched for ER only for it to start at nearly $75k, then convincing myself that I can make do with a pro only for Ford to yank the option out from under me. At this point, there is nothing that hasn't disappointed me.

A LOT of people are in the exact same position. I'm out of good will with ford. Time to see what the competition offers.

Why no option for "I will cancel my reservation and get my deposit back"?

A couple of weeks ago, I started a thread titled "Ford's epic lightning bait and switch is complete (the official "I'm out" thread)." As many of you pointed out, I was wrong, but not for the reasons given in the thread. I thought introducing a long-range truck at nearly $75,000 while we were...

Well, good to know that button exists. thanks!
