I know it's felt like deliveries have been all over the place for some people since they started and I'm wondering who on here has been waiting the longest? Has it been 1 month? 2 months? 6 months? A year or more??

Look @ChasingCoral being all analytical, but the sheet isn't that accurate and denies us waiters the chance to commensurate, so...

5/21/21 Reservation - so 17 months, ordered 9/7, no build date.

According to that spreadsheet, I'm the only one from that period that didn't get to order until 9/7/2022, sticking me in the MY '23 aka get to pay an extra $17k group. Please tell me I am not the only one.

It seemed to me the OP's question was about order to delivery, not reservation to delivery.

Reservation data is on a separate spreadsheet:

Of course, in both cases the sheets are only as accurate as the information that was entered. If you have information that isn't in the sheets or is inaccurate, please contribute the proper information.

As for commiseration, fire away.

Order Date was 2/9/22, been waiting since. 3 production slip dates so far. Keeping my fingers crossed this next one doesn't slip.

The obvious answer is everyone on this forum. Although I suppose that I am one day less than the theoretical maximum.

I feel like breaking up with the "hot girl" that won't put out after a year and a half of dating. I'm just about over the whole Lightning thing.

While not the most loyal Ford customer but have purchased 3 new vehicles in 20 years. It doesn't seem like Ford is committed to producing EVs and they are an ancillary business to them (whilst dealers run amuck). When they realize that EVs are a hit, they throttle production and increases prices.

I'm in the exact same boat as you. 5/20/21 Reservation - Ordered 9/7/22, no build date. Plus, today I got an email from Ford saying there's been an update to my order which I looks to me no updates so I will have to call the my dealer. I also got another email today from Ford to place my order and original order is in still in the system/website. I'm confused plus I'm not thrilled to be in the FY'23 group because with the huge price increase, I could not get the Lariat with the extended battery and keep it under 80K. Even with the XLT with the extended battery it was over 80K. If you go over 80K AND you get your Lightning in FY'23, no $7,500 rebate.

I've received the greatest news this week. The truck was built this past Monday, 10/24 and it actually shipped out yesterday, 10/27. I am out in California so it says an estimate delivery date of 11/10.
Congras! Was your order data 2/9/2022? When did they start to build it? So that's 9 months or 274 days. My order date is 9/7/2022, which means I have very long wait ahead of me.
