I'm glad they were quick on that story. I wonder if there were a few–or any–available to early Wave 6 orders?

Pro sold out at end of wave 1, xlt sold out during wave 3. Wave 4 opened on Feb 17. There were no pro or xlt available for retail orders for 2022 for almost two months.

Here's the bulletin that Ford sent out:

BACKGROUND

• Ford implemented a waved invitation approach to efficiently convert retail reservation holders to orders for 22MY F-150 Lightning
• Wave 1-5 invited reservation holders had the opportunity to convert to a retail order through March 31st
• All reservations from Wave 1-5 invited reservation holders not converting to a retail order or did not choose to "Extend My Reservation" for a sold-out configuration have been canceled
• Ford will continue to invite reservation holders until 22MY production capacity is fulfilled; Wave 6 invitations will be sent on April 12.
• The number of Wave 6 invites for each dealership is dependent on each store's current converted orders compared to remaining unfulfilled forecasted 22MY allocation
• To assist your customers in converting future 22MY wave invitations efficiently and complete 22MY production within build-out capacity constraints, we are requesting each dealership work with your reservation holders in reservation list order to input their desired configuration in the ROVP site

Invited Wave 1-5 Reservation Holders Reservation Cancellations
All reservations for Wave 1-5 invited reservation holders who did not convert to a retail order or did not choose to "Extend My Reservation" by March 31st have been canceled. These reservations will no longer have the ability to convert to an order for F-150 Lightning.

Note: All reservation holders who have NOT been invited to place an order at this time remain unchanged. No action is needed for any reservation holder who has not received an invitation to covert at this time to keep their reservation status.

Wave 6 Invitations
The list of reservation holders will receive a Wave 6 invite at your dealership can be viewed on the F-150 Lightning Reservation to Order Program site beginning on April 11th. These reservation holders will receive an invite to place an order on April 12. and will have the ability to convert to a retail order until April 29th.

Wave 6 invites are the next available reservation holder(s) based on each dealerships retail reservation holder list. The amount of Wave 6 invites for each dealership will vary based on the amount of converted orders each store compared to remaining unfulfilled forecasted 22MY allocation.

Note: Dealerships that have fulfilled their forecasted 22MY allocation through prior Wave 1-5 invitations will not receive a Wave 6 invite. Those with remaining allocation will receive Wave 6 invites.

Remaining Reservation Holder Desired Configuration Action

Note: These actions have no impact on current Wave 6 invitations and their ability to convert through April 29th. The actions detailed below have no impact on dealership 22MY allocation.

To assist in efficiently converting future 22MY wave invitations and complete 22MY production within build-out capacity constraints, we are requesting each dealership work with their uninvited reservation holders to input their desired configuration in the ROVP site. This will help determine final 22MY invitations for any unfulfilled 22MY allocation at each specific dealership after Wave 6 has been completed. There is no minimum or maximum selections required.

Selecting the desired configuration for uninvited reservation holders will help efficiently match commodities with capacity during the 22MY F-150 Lightning build-out as well as assist with future model year planning. This action is aimed to reduce manual workload of fulfilling final 22MY build-out production at your dealership and will be integrated into any future 22MY wave invitations.

Ford strongly encourages each dealership to reach out to their uninvited reservation holders in reservation order and work with them to understand their desired configuration. Selections are required to be inputted by reservation order in the ROVP site. Inputting selections in the ROVP site for reservation holders is not considered an invitation to covert or a final order and does not force them into a specific configuration if invited for 22MY or future model years. (Note: Future Model Year pricing is subject to change)

Desired Configurations Available to Select:

• Pro 110A Standard-Range Battery (Currently Sold Out For 22MY)
• XLT 311A Standard-Range Battery (Currently Sold Out For 22MY)
• XLT 312A Standard-Range Battery (Currently Sold Out For 22MY)
• XLT 312A Extended-Range Battery (Currently Sold Out For 22MY)
• Lariat 510A Standard-Range Battery
• Lariat 511A Extended-Range Battery
• Platinum 710A Extended-Range Battery

While 22MY F-150 Lightning Pro & XLT configurations are currently sold out for retail customers, reservation holders still have the option to select it as their desired configuration in the ROVP site. Selections will be used to understand future model year planning and will not take priority over current waitlist reservation holders who have elected to "Extend Their Reservation" for Pro or XLT. As commodities become available, future invitations for currently sold-out models will take into account current waitlist "Extend My Reservation" reservation holders, reservation time stamp, and reservation holder configuration selection in the ROVP site.

What is the ROVP site?

So, Day1 reservation here, logging in my reservation site shows reservation, no invite to order, last e-mail from ford was it was being held as MY2022 have been filled, but the dealer called asking to place order. Had to be done at the store. Went today (4/19) and was given the choice of anything including the PRO. Salesperson took my configuration details and submitted it. Sounds contrary to everything I have been following on the forums. Been boggling my mind since. Reading your post @EFX4 now makes me think it was just a "reservation holder configuration selection in the ROVP site." Makes more sense now. But what is the ROVP site?

 

[taxmanhog]

COVP/ROVP system is used to validate custom/retail orders.

A recent memo from Ford, directed all dealer to solicit ordering preferences from Lightning reservationist who are waiting for future model years to place orders through the web interface.

After you sat with the sales man to refine your trim line and feature preferences, Ford wanted the specifications loaded into the system for production analysts to study and tweak future resource & materials ordering for future model years.

The salesman should have been a bit clearer about the activity you just completed, now you can sit back and wait until summer of 2022 for MY23 order banks to open, maybe you will be chosen and Ford will have the resources to build exactly what you're looking for, of course this might not happen until MY24 for the unlucky few at the tail end of the reservation time stamp order and the quantity of reservation at your selected dealer, those variables are always in play.
