Dealer call about next wave

I received a weird call from my dealer this morning. A lady from the dealership told me that I could come in to order my Lightning, even though I hadn't received an email yet. So I made an appointment for this afternoon.

Suffice it to say I haven't been overly thrilled with my dealer's information to date. To date, they haven't (or possibly wouldn't, but they say they don't know)

Where I am in their queue
Anything about the waves of ordering
In fact, pretty much anything at all....

About an hour after this, I received another call, this time from the gentleman I had been working with at the dealership, canceling the appointment. He said that I can't come in to order until I got the email from Ford (which is what tracks with everything else I've heard). He also said that I would likely be in the "first wave of orders" that was going out soon." He seemed pretty befuddled when I told him there had already been two waves!

So...

Has anyone else had such a clueless set of responses from your dealership? (It's an Electric-Certified dealership in St. Louis, MO)
Have you been contacted by your dealership, saying you'll be in the next wave?
Any dates yet for it (other than the "every two weeks" that we've heard before)?

As indicated in a couple of other threads on ordering, there are two ways to know if you can order:
1) Watch for the email from Ford (keep checking your spam/junk folders, just in case)
2) Check your online reservation for the "Ready to Order" button. Here's how it looked on my iPhone:

^^^^^ hmmmmm you can in fact order directly from the dealer - that's what I did...I didn't have to come in, did it all over the phone with them.

I did my entire order on my iPhone. I did call the dealer the next day to have him "accept" the order.
