Anything in particular you'd like to point out that it did? Mine looks normal. Same blend date 5/24, shipping, sequence, etc.

Window sticker used to be on the site. Now its not.

Mine is still visible but it's been pretty normal for people's window stickers to go missing for a few days.

Next week is our week, fellas!

Then we just have to wait until July or August to get it delivered.

I was hopeful it would only take about four weeks to deliver once it’s built, but I think it’s going to be longer now. Sometime in July seems likely.

 

[LightningShow]

Yeah, seeing as people who have had theirs built for almost 6 weeks haven't even seen them leave on transport it's looking like mid-July is probably best case.

I wouldn't let those early vehicles sitting speak as to normal shipping times once they start really ramping up production. But with that said, I'm also assuming it will be late July at the earliest and otherwise I'll be pleasantly surprised.

You think it's going to take that long to get delivered?

Based on how things are going it's hard to imagine a June delivery. It's been 3 weeks since OK to Buy and there still aren't any trucks out in public, demo or otherwise.

Come on...settle the doom and gloom. I get a Grinch smile every time I hear somebody in early groups complaining about nothing shipping. We keep hearing about FILO. First in Last out. The first batch of scheduling was spread out over 6 weeks. It was originally speculated that OKTB would be given 4-6 weeks. I know it was stated to have already been given but obviously it was limited in some manner. Hopefully regional loads were planned and production was coordinated by parts needed to build those loads. Once the initial scheduling completes at the end of May, they can ship.
I believe there was a plan.

Regardless of whether there are real delays or not, the fact that no trucks have been delivered means trucks being made now are not going to be delivered on a normal schedule. They would have had to have been caught up by now for anyone in this build week to expect a 3-4 week delivery time. You can all but guarantee no one in the 5/23 build week will see a truck in June. August is definitely not out of the realm of possibility considering no customers have seen a truck yet. If we all of a sudden hear about a bunch of people getting trucks next week then that is a good sign but it's been quite a while since Ford said trucks would start going out and there hasn't been a confirmed delivery yet. If you're planning on taking your Lightning on a July 4th weekend roadtrip I would have a contingency plan.

A little too black and white for me. There was no guarantee that a Wave 1 was to be built before a Wave 4, just like there is no guarantee a built in week 1 will be delivered before a week 4 build. I am not getting my hopes up but I view it as long as ours gets built before deliveries, there is hope.

I truly think we are the magical week. We've seen how this has progressed, we are the perfect week to roll out of the factory and onto a train or truck. If they've started loading a few those earlier builds they are going to get hit with the FILO issues - their truck gets buried in a yard and Ford doesn't know how to load a yard side to side, they load it front to back and then can't get to them.

However - I believe I'll be driving my Lightning by June 17 !! We could be the first deliveries or within the first few hundred.
