I have a loaded platinum. If I go to the 'build and price' it spits out $94,614 (Not including 1k bed cover)
Good thing he's talking about a Lariat and not a Platinum.

I put in a reservation.... but the price & range are awful. I can't do it.
35k more for the same level vehicle is not cool. Recently did my 500mi each way trip. Made it in 7hrs 15mins.
The sweet spot for an F150 has always been an XLT with the 302A tech package, max trailer tow and fx4. Unfortunately, that trim level (by far the most popular)Yep, that's my impression too. There really isn't a sweet spot with the Lightning. I'm leaning toward the 400 mile Silverado EV today given CT production is an unknown and costs are out of control.

jumped way up in price for the 2021 models and is 55k+.
So I didn't reserve a Lightning until 9 August, 2021 (after I realized the CT was going to be delayed beyond even my pessimistic projection). So I am way down the list.
My dealer contacted me today to say that the 2022 order book is full and that I will be getting a 2023. Should still get it before my CT but we'll see. I'm not in a hurry. My diesel grand cherokee still runs fine.
Anyway, an FYI for the group.
Guess that cements my thoughts. Dealer called me and told me I should get my email yesterday, no email. No email today. I think I’m just going to order a RAM limited and save 20 grand and have a truck this summer.
They need the factory to be done… Fremont is packed. That’s the wait.lol. there's always an excuse... currently it looks like the CT will get in line behind the Roadster 2.0 / Model S Plaid+ ...
Completely wrong about Cybertruck being behind R2.0 and P+. Roadster and plaid + is very small market of high performance and very high price tag cars. Cybertruck will be second best seller after model Y and no brainer for Tesla to do next after they start two new factories full throttle. While they are slammed with Model Y why waste resources on Cybertruck production? Now they have time to work it out all the aspects of Cybertruck and how to streamline its design and production and what features to include and at what price point it is possible. Do I believe they can do it by 2023? Maybe by the end of 2023, yes. Full production 2024.lol. there's always an excuse... currently it looks like the CT will get in line behind the Roadster 2.0 / Model S Plaid+ ...
My Res was May 21st. I have no intention of ordering, but I see I am not up to order anyway. I'm in no hurry. If the prices weren't so ridiculous, I'd go for it.So I didn't reserve a Lightning until 9 August, 2021 (after I realized the CT was going to be delayed beyond even my pessimistic projection).

because if they don't get the cybertruck out and impressive before ford or the others, their stock price will plummet......TSLA is the motivation for everything tesla doesCompletely wrong about Cybertruck being behind R2.0 and P+.

given that Rivian is already shipping and Ford in the next months and more than doubled first year production targets... it's very safe to say that Tesla won't get the CT out before Ford and others with their "hopefully in late 2023" announcement...because if they don't get the cybertruck out and impressive before ford or the others, their stock price will plummet......TSLA is the motivation for everything tesla does
last I heard amazon had dibs on every truck rivian produces for the next 5 yrs or something like that so none are actually going to customers. did they change this?
That sounds more likely because it was confusing when you said generically 'every truck' as that would include R1T. A google search on: rivian produce amazon trucksThe two companies agreed that Amazon would have exclusive rights to the delivery van for four years after Rivian provided the first batch. Amazon would also have the right of first refusal for two years after that over any other companies that wanted to buy the vans from Rivian.
The company, in which Amazon holds a 20% stake, will start taking orders for its electric delivery vans in 2022, with plans to deliver them to customers by early 2023, according to a new section of Rivian’s website.
Rivian has been working to fulfill a contract to produce 100,000 electric vehicle delivery vans for Amazon through 2024. (Rivian has said it plans to deliver the first 10 of Amazon’s order by the end of this year.) That deal appeared exclusive, according to information contained in the S-1 document announcing its plans to go public. However, this new information that shows Rivian is selling to other fleet customers prior to 2024 suggests that its contract with Amazon has some wiggle room.
