✅ 5/2 Lightning Build Week Group

[Labs4Lightning]

I was dumb as well. I sold my ICE truck back in September because I knew I was getting a lightning. I didn't factor in that it would actually take this long. So I've been sharing my kids Kia Forte in the meantime. That really sucks driving that car.

Oh that’s hard. giving up your truck.
The reality is we don’t know the shipping order - then logistics comes into play as well. I could be waiting 7 days or 8 weeks. I can’t put my truck for sale just yet.

I have something to look forward to . . . . . Disappointment Thursday

Yeah, planning on keeping mine until pick up day. Trading it in if they give me a fair price (and saving a load of sales tax) or selling it after I get my Lightning if they don't. With the online dealers these days, it isn't like it takes a long time to sell.

It was especially hard because it was my ordered 21 F150 Platinum that I bought only 6 months earlier. I made some money selling it in September, but I didn't realize how much I would miss it. I bought my kid the Kia right after selling the truck, and was hoping that I would have my truck around the time he could drive in late April. That didn't happen so now we share which I hate.

This is my first ever truck. I've been driving a Focus hatchback for the last 9 years.

Here is another to add to your list (not mine): https://www.windowsticker.forddirect.com/windowsticker.pdf?vin= 1FTVW1EV1NWG03610

Its listed on Kendall Ford’s (Eugene,OR) web site for sale and “in transit”………..

That‘s interesting. My truck is 2 after this truck and is not yet showing on my dealer’s web site.

I think originally they put these up on their web site for marketing knowing they were in various states of scheduling…not really ”In Transit”...heck, they are calling them ”Pro” while the stickers show otherwise. It looks like their sales staff needs to get educated

That’s what I am curious about. My window sticker only has the R above Ramp and nothing else. I was reading on Reddit that one of the members truck was built on the 12th according to his dealer but the blend date in his WS is the 27th. The Blend Date on the WS is indeed the 27th but that bar up too is completely filled out as it should be. Members here in the 5/9 build group also have that bar filled appropriately. What gives?

Any other California bound trucks o my have that R in that area?

Yes, I’m in California and I just have the R up there.

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.

FYI, working again this AM (for me at least). Sadly no status change... (still sitting in "In Production" with a 5/9 date)

I’d anything else filled out? I only have the R above Ramp. Everyone else seems to have that area filled out with more letters

Nope, nothing else up there for me. Just the R. I show Ramp CA84 on the lower portion of the sticker.

Funny thing about the codes at the top, this is the sticker for Nick who has just picked up his Platinum in Michigan. (see new threads on that topic)

I'm just starting to really follow the conversation about these codes, but here is my sticker from 2 weeks ago - 2 weeks before my build (date at the bottom is 5/11) and I had the 5 codes already filled in 2 weeks ago. Is that normal. I do wish we could get this conversation split to it's own thread.
