The trucks will go to those with pre-orders, if fleets did the pre-orders they will get them, if average Joe did the order they will get them. Ford builds what people order so if the fleets order platinum they will get platinum, if Joe orders a commercial he will get a commercial. Ford isn't going to piss off the millions of average Joe's they actually sell trucks to, or change how they have been doing things the last 100 years because it is an EV. Ford has a history of making things like the small diesel or the most powerful EcoBoost available across the line without having to spring for an expensive package.

You aren't getting anything if you didn't put your $100 preorder in yesterday.
