Fingers Crossed just glad to see deliveries are finally happening and scheduling is still progressing even if I'm not selected. Just getting that much closer to getting mine. Hopefully dealer mannequin will be in soon, they hinted at being given the mannequin for 24hrsfor customers to test out.

Whoa !

Wait, your dealer is going to allow 24hr test drives on a mannequin Lightning ??

Even with a line of people who just want to look and sit in one ???

That's what they alluded to. They said that's what they did for the Bronco, but they hadn't made a decision yet on the lightning.

Wow, your dealership is very cool but I wonder if you have to grease their palms or have an order or reservation with them as a prerequisite ?

Was originally 6/20, been holding at 7/11 for five weeks now since 4/20.

Every time I see one of these threads I'm immediately excited that I am pushed up, then terrified I may be pushed back... then end up indifferent nothing happened at all.

Jealous for sure!

That's the trim and battery I wanted in the first place....

Never really wanted a 20" street truck w/ running boards and leather - just give me 18" wheels w/ 35"+ tires, no running boards to dirty my legs & pants, and cloth seats for comfort and coolness in the hot desert southwest.

To be fair, some of us that got to order in wave 6 were first 15 minute reservation holders, while quite a few (though calling you out specifically, I have no idea when you reserved) wave 1 orders reserved after us. I know someone who reserved in June and got a wave 3 invite with no priority, that was incredibly frustrating.

Like you said, it's probably all about logistics. Either way though, we have a great truck coming!

This isn't unique to Ford, either - I was one of the first to buy a Tesla Model S (having paid a considerably larger deposit), and my Signature car (one of the first 1,000) was actually delivered to me after some of the first production-series cars were being delivered. It was a combination of logistics (transport to Illinois vs. California deliveries), manufacturing defects (my car had to be scrapped and rebuilt after it did not pass manufacturing quality tests), and communications problems.

From my own experience, I can tell you that every step of the wait is agonizing, but once you do receive it, you'll spend the next 3 months inventing reasons to drive places in your LIghtning... hitting up the convenience store 10 times a day isn't out of the question.

Could anyone tell me if there is a problem with my order? Shouldn't it have a green check mark on the placed order spot?

Look below this section to the left of the page if it has two green check's and the second one say's order accepted by dealer you're good to go, and just waiting for a build week assignment.

Just checked it and there is a green checkmark there! I was getting worried that the top tracker hasn't changed to reflect it. Thank you

The top tracker only moves to the next step once production is scheduled. Like mentioned, as long as the dealer accepted your order, you should be good to go!

I can see it, I've discovered sometimes the browser cache becomes stale, try clearing it and retry
Your tear tag is listed in the modules search, so hopefully your simple build will be heading to hold & staging CA34
