When did you make your reservation? What is the dealer telling you? Not exactly sure what you are asking.

Perhaps register your registration number at the link below:

Not at this time.
Ford closed reservation systems for a few of the most in-demand vehicles because they have more reservations than they can fill in the near future. In the case of the Lightning, they have about 200,000 reservations — more than 2022 and 2023 production combined.
^^^ this - they are sold out till 2025, and that’s when there’s speculation a new Lightning will be introduced for sale in 2026

Can the new 2024 and 2025 be more cheaper ford lightning?

That is unknown, many thing could change in the industry of EV's to lower costs (new cell technology, etc), barring that most likely it will cost more due to inflation.
SK Innovation Co Ltd is only going to be able to sell F-150 Lightning battery packs to Ford for the next 4 years (MY22 - MY25 Lightnings) in the US.

Then SK Innovation are then banned from selling any more batteries in the US for 6 more years (2032).

Because they lost a US Trade case against LG Chem Ltd for stealing their trade secrets.


Ford is going to need to find another battery supplier and/or start making their own batteries for the MY26+ F-150 Lightning.

Is the 2025 Ford lightning going to have more intelligent power back up system again?

I've already placed my order and very familiar with this site.........
I don't think anyone knows what the 2025 version is going to be like, they still need to deliver 2022, and 2023 and 2024

What happened to the 3rd wave order?supposed to be last Friday according to the ford info line but nothing still? And what is this issue with the pro model availability? My order will only be for the pro, pricing for the xlt just doesn’t justify the additional cost to secure one!

Also note the Ford account web site is acting funky this morning, it took a few minutes for my account and order data to load, they may be doing system maintenance.

Wave 3 went out as expected, actually quite a few reports of invites and orders.

You've linked to an older story. They've since reached a settlement allowing to move forward.

Correct. Besides, In four years Ford will be making their own batteries at Blue Oval City.
Yeap...and and two other locations, all joint ventures with SK Innovations.
