My darn day job kept me busy until they closed. I will likely be picking up around 1100 Detroit time.

I’m sure those of us in Michigan would love to throw you a Memorial Day BBQ for the chance to take a ride in it with you! Lol 😂

If you are military or a first responder, be sure to ask in the $1,000 military/first responder incentive applies to you. Expires May 31.

Do you know if it applies to Vets also?

I think the real reason for slow Production to Deliveries is now becoming evident.

Ford has chosen to take the heat by holding back that final step and doing hands-on testing on a batch of customer and mannequin Lightnings.

It is exciting to be a very early Lightning Owner but you guys are basically Beta Testers. I hope pain will not follow.

Anyone who has taken part in being a MS or OS Beta Tester in the past few years knows the pain involved when things go horribly wrong and one has to rebuild and reboot repeatedly after a bad download.

I, for one, am glad my build is more in the middle of the pack. But Congrats to those driving your new trucks in the next few days, and I pray Ford has found all of the Gremlins.

Hope @oneguynick will be a prolific poster on the Pros and Cons in the weeks to come.

I am a CTO and geek who lives in beta/alpha/rapid release worlds. I am fine to be the beta tester and share all that feedback with the greater group here. Our Tesla had similar growing pains, but it was worth it for us as a family.

@oneguynick how will you use your new F150 Lightning?
Around town ride, commuter, will you be pulling a RV, boat or toy hauler short or long distances?
