I'd wait will 2024 for a GM EV, but my current daily driver is starting to fail and my wife's PHEV carpool exemption sticker runs out end of this year.
So 5 days ago I placed a 2022 MME order with $500 deposit for the wife before the online ordering closed.
Then yesterday a big surprise, I got an email & text from Ford to order the 2022 F150L which I had a reservation since May 2021 (day 2 reservation).
Apparently, Ford had some cancelled, extended reservations, and non converted slots so they made them available as a final wave order for MY 2022.
Ordered a $70,0000 F150 Lightning - Lariat trim - Standard range battery - iced blue silver.
Paid the $1500 deposit to start the build.
Not too happy having to order a trim I didn't want - would have preferred the XLT w/ 18" wheels, no running boards, no leather.
But then it's a first year model that is in low supply and high demand...
Let's see which one shows up first.
Any guesses ?
