I’m in Ramp 59 as well. Have the bed liner and I’m waiting in California.

Any other 5/2 build week people been able to check status lately on the Order Tracker? I haven't been able to get it to work for at least a week now - https://shop.ford.com/vehicleordertracking

Every time I try to enter my info and hit Accept and Track it basically just refreshes and brings me back to the same page.

Fat lot of good it does if the info never changes.

Its hit or miss right now. I haven’t seen my window sticker on that site in almost 2 weeks

Seeing the lack of movement on deliveries is discouraging. I remember the excitement with each passing milestone (window sticker, modules popping, tear tag, Ford Pass "Activate" - yet in the end nothing seems to change. Read an article today about Bronco owner's waiting forever (had no need for that knowledge until I became an expectant Lightning parent myself). FoMoCo could do a much better job communicating with their prospective clients - all this non-activity (aside from knowing our truck is somewhere in limbo) leads to such rampant speculation (bed liners, chips, transport, software, etc.).

Yeah I think I'm done. Not gonna check anymore.

Eventually the dealer will call or text me.

I'm just tired of it all now. And even though the Bronco isn't my thing I can't imagine what it's like to know your order was produced months and months ago and is sitting in some field somewhere.

I'm out.

I can wait about another month and then I will be moving on to another EV, possible pick up a Base Maverick later on. We’ll see, but I am also not too optimistic I will see this truck until mid to end of July.

Yes, I can pull my tracker, that’s never been a problem. But it goes out and comes back. The Window Sticker is MIA on that site. Not that anything has changed on it. Like others, I am going to stop looking for a while and just wait until the dealer calls. Meanwhile, I’ll start looking at other EV options.

What other options are there that you could get in a relatively short time? Especially if you are looking for something equivalent to the Lightning!

Besides a used Leaf, Bolt, or iMiev, I don't think you will find one anywhere - unless you pay a huge markup. guess you could get a Hummer or Rivian for $200k+

I should have kept my ICE Truck and just bought a used EV to be honest lol……

But I wanted to mash them together for a win win.

As far as what’s equivalent? An STX ICE and used EV. My timeline was always June at the latest. Canceled a Mach-E GT once I was invited to order(wasn’t expecting an invite until next year). Anyways, we’ll see what happens. I’m just done with the lack of updates from Ford, even the dealer hasn’t received an Update on the VR since May 12th smh

Keep in mind that the only reason it seems like Ford isn't delivering on their promises is because we're all hyperactively monitoring our trackers and data. Ford said first deliveries in Spring, it's still spring. I've never ordered a car direct before but I would think even 3 years ago we wouldn't have near this much visibility. It's the double edged sword; better transparency, but now they look like they're behind schedule (perhaps justly, perhaps not)

I received an estimate of 20 weeks when ordering on 1/6 for what it is worth.

I think by the time I got my Wave 1 order in, it was 21 or 22 weeks? Which puts me at a week or two from now. Mine gets blended next Friday.

I guess what I am saying is, without all the added micro levels of tracking, if Ford told you 20 weeks and you could never get an update online in between then, I don't think anyone would be panicking right now (week 20) that they didn't have their vehicle. Estimate of 20 weeks you figure +/- a week or two.

The only reason it feels like they're off schedule so egregiously is because we can see every single step update.
