The order bank doesn't open until next month, they can't place any orders yet. And they will only have a very limited number of priority reservations which will go to customers who have bought a lot from them. The priorities for the other reservations isn't yet clear. So chances are there are some crossed wires here.

If everyone in this country only had their giant trucks for intended purposes, about 70% fewer of these would be on the road today. That'd be nice, since all they do is either clog the roads or drive like morons.
Speaking of driving like an idiot... the gas mileage ratings for cars are a lot like what Ford says their electric truck will get as far as efficiency with payload. You can't trust them. Big difference between real world and on paper.
3 out of 4 big giant 4 door trucks are driven by teens or 20 somethings. They have to do a 0-60 at every stop light, especially when they have a chance at being first in line when two lanes merge to become one. They have to pass everyone in sight, even when I'm doing 60-62 in a 55. So that 25 or 26 rating they get on the highway drops to about 14 or 15. Same with the electric truck rating. No way you'll get 300 miles of range when hauling that much weight.
Truck drivers have no patience as it is. What makes you guys think they'll want to wait 40 minutes to charge?

It looks like to me that the earliest it would start getting into the hands of people is late 2022 or 2023, as when I put in my preorder they had already hit 150k preorders previous to mine

Delving deeper into the email and going to the links, it looks like I will not be getting mine until 2023, but that's fine with me, I'm getting a PoleStar 2 in January and am happy holding on to my Sienna until then. BTW, I like truck people
