Hey y'all, I've been lurking here for several months as my prospects of getting a truck became more real. I am a 5/21 reservation holder who had kind of given up on ever being invited to order. I was invited to order in the November wave and shit got real. I quickly realized I would much rather have a '22 than build a '23.

I called almost 100 dealers nationwide that showed a '22 Lariat in stock. I found a dealer not horribly far away who would sell me a Lariat ER demo/mannequin at MSRP. It has ~400 miles on it and is availble to purchase mid January.

This will be my first pickup and my first electric vehicle. The Lightning will be taking a 1988 Jeep Grand Wagoneer off of daily driver duty. I'm as prepared as I can be I think. I've been reading on here about necessary apps like ABRP and Plugshare. I have had an electrician run a 100a 240V circuit to my garage. Now I just need the truck!

Hey @Zaphod Beeblebrox (fantastic name) welcome to the forum! How far is the dealer away from you? Are you going to have it delivered or are you going to drive it home?

When you go pick it up be sure to bring a towel!

The dealer is 450 miles away. Flying in and driving it home. Should be a nice get acquainted trip. The last time I bought a new vehicle I bought it in long island, NY and drove back to Dallas. That was a great memory.
