I received my VIN for Wave 1 Lightning!

[RavenYZF-R6]

So much for winning the lottery with a Pro ?. Congrats to everyone scheduled. I figured they would do higher trims first but that they might also want the press of some early Pros too.

You won the lottery by securing a Pro (which very few could do)...you will just have to wait a bit to cash the ticket!

It identifies what will soon be mine. Searching for it gives us all something to do beside discussing the full range of the truck on a cold day. It gives us insight into how Ford could be scheduling and building. It gives me the required piece of information to check on insurance. It is the piece of information I'll need for state rebate.

Same plans as you, I want to start the process of reserving a claim for the Mass MOR-EV-Truck credit, pending later delivery and final sales documents.

Wave 1 Pro, nothing yet.

After you get your VIN,
To track your vehicle order online*:

1. Get your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and Order Number from your selling Ford Dealer (my # was 4 digits). They will be available after your vehicle is scheduled for production.
2. Visit the Ford Vehicle Order Tracking page.
3. Enter your Order Number and VIN. Note: The letters I, O, and Q are not included in a VIN to avoid confusion with the numbers 1 (One) and 0 (Zero).
4. Click Accept & Track.

Thanks for this link. I see a button to view the window sticker, but the window sticker is not released yet. Anyone have an idea when these are typically released?

Typically, about a month before build week.

The window sticker is usually available about 7 days before your Blend date. Your Blend date is when the body starts assembly.

With the current gas truck, your Produced date is usually the day of or after your Blend, depending on what time of the day the cab is started. With the Lightning, that could change a little because that assembly plant doesn't run as fast as the current Final plant.

Thanks!

i'm familiar with html so i ignored a lot of the website components like .css files. look for a file that starts with your specific data, like your reservation number. clicked all the way down one of the sections, the 'entries' one.

Thanks, found it

A quick way to find your VIN is to search “1FT” once you have gotten into the source code. Thank you @idahospud for this!

Don’t forget to add your Lightning to your Ford Pass!

I wouldn't count on "First In, Last Out" with a brand new platform. Back in 2014 when we launched the new aluminum truck, we had a problem with tailgate latches. The first couple of thousand units off the line were in storage for months waiting on the latch manufacturer to get to the backlogged parts while new units coming off the line got the updated parts.

I agree with you, there are so many factors affecting delivery that it is like predicting the weather.

Isnt that first in last out?

I guess it depends on how you look at it. When moving a vehicle out of storage to either inspect or repair it, they try to go by oldest unit first.

But don't try to activate the truck until you get it. Ususally the porters handling the truck will ignore the request on the touchscreen to activate, or cancel it, but if they do accept it then the clock starts ticking on things like your bluecruise, free data, sirius xm and so on.

As your truck enters production you can also watch it come to life as the computer modules are added and turned on in the truck by using this link:

note that you need a VIN to start checking that page.

Congrats first wavers.
