F150 LIGHTNING 6500 LBS

You could always go with the Lightning, delay your Rivian order (if necessary), and switch to the Rivian after a year. There's some risk there but I think the demand will be high enough you could sell the lightning with little loss after a year.

so after they confirmed your online order with no ADM they sent you paperwork changing the terms? If that’s the case it’s very shady. I’d complain to ford and any local media that would listen. The online order is set up to clearly show any ADM.

Exactly why I pulled the trigger on the Lightning. I still have high hopes for Rivian long term but lost faith that I would get one in 2022, even with the Oct-Dec window. I should have a lightning by mid 2022, so if the lightning doesn't meet my needs I can get my Rivian sometime in 2023.

Guess I'm showing my age by saying "print out" :facepalm: I was hoping to sign a purchase agreement with the dealer to make sure I had something from them confirming the final price. After talking to them this morning, they say I'm all set, and said the price will be what's on my online order...

Hopefully they don't try to sneak that in there. In any case, if I sell at cost, I don't think they can withhold since there is no value taken away from them.

It says that it varies by dealer and check with your dealer. The deposit is $500. I'm not too concerned because I'm sure they can easily sell if I change my mind, so they should refund the deposit. I'm not confident enough in my Oct-Dec 22 delivery date from Rivian, so went with the lightning...

I know all the chatter on it, but based on the language in my wave 1 invitation, I get the impression Ford nixed the dealer markup. At the end of the process, I get a printout with my price that I should take to the dealer, that they should directly convert to an order. We'll see what happens.

It just floors me how clueless the dealers are. If I contacted customers and was that out of touch about our services and what they want, I’d be out of work shortly. I thought the whole dealer markups were over with Fords pricing system? Can they still char above MSRP?

I got one today also. Really did‘t expect to be in the first wave. So torn on what to do. The lightning looks great and from a company that’s made trucks forever, and has a local service network. On the other hand, definitely more of a cool factor with Rivian. Tough decision. Might order and...

Totally agree. Would like a filter in the forum to drop any reference to 400 or 800v.
