✅ 5/2 Lightning Build Week Group

[rlbussard]

Im just going to wait it out. I think they will be arriving the week of the 13th.

I talked to the Reps twice, two different people and took a screenshot of the conversation so I think the number is right. Reading through ICE truck deliveries some go through the same thing where they can’t track. The last time my number was used was March 21st in Colorado lol

BTW, my activation on Ford Pass is still pending, which is good news. Once it is unloaded someone will hit Activate guaranteed.

I just went back and relistened to the tracking information and I'm in the same situation as you. My status on my railcar number is actually from April 6th. So I am probably sitting on a rail car from Canadian National near ramp 59 in Dearborn still.

I doubt it, our trucks are on the move. Other Railcar numbers have already left Dearborn supposedly. If we have shipped emails and Railcar #’s we are already en route

I’d bet they are on the move as well. Too many surprise deliveries. I hope your vehicles show up soon.

I hope you're right. I've never received a built or shipped email. Yesterday my truck went from production straight to shipped. I don't have a date in the built section, just a checkmark and the delivery estimate shows TBD.

Your dealer is responsible for passing along your info and confirming the sale to SunRun so that they will ship the Pro Charger to your house. Supposed to be within 5 working days of delivery.

I'd start with the dealer.

We're never going to see the chargers if that's the system they're using.

Well I'll let you know on Monday what sort of paperwork or info I get.

And we'll start a new waiting vigil...for the charger this time instead of the truck.

Is SunRun building/producing the chargers? I just can't understand why Ford would ONLY distribute a Ford branded Pro charger through them. Understanding their a partner for solar and all, but given they don't service every state and not everyone is going to want solar, just seems an odd decision to me that they're running ALL charger distributions through them.

@Mike G I think yours might be the farthest from Dearborn confirmed delivered, and looks like about 2 weeks earlier than your estimate also? Trying to keep track of how far away we're seeing confirmed deliveries.

Athens, AL ...just west of Huntsville. And 13 days sooner than the earliest estimate of 17 June.

Hmm... Ford CA order tracker is now showing mine as Shipped, though I haven't received any additional emails. Can't get the Ford US order tracker to load my info right now. Fingers crossed!

Congrats and I would believe it. Seems the US trackers are way behind. Seeing trucks show up at dealers now that don't even show built.

That happened to me yesterday. CA showed shipped while US did not. This morning the US tracker then showed it shipped. I don't have a estimated delivery date, it just shows TBD.

Checked the "Order Track" site this morning...still "Awaiting shipment".

Coffee, yard work, etc. Check the internet for o-rings for a hydraulic connector on the tractor...the usual nonsense, check the Order Track once again....."Delivered"

Grab the wallet and sunglasses and the keys and announce my departure at headquarters.

Get there and park right next to "My Precious"

Quick look around for obvious damage, none found. Casually breeze in to the showroom where I got the "we were expecting you" treatment. And then the tale of my truck almost getting knocked off the back of the three-vehicle 5th wheel trailer as it made the left turn across the four lane to get into the dealership lot. Apparently the guy following wasn't paying close attention and when the back end of the trailer swung out (with my truck slightly hanging out over the end) he had to swerve dramatically (said the sales manager who was two cars behind this) and they thought my truck was going to get knocked off the trailer. "Missed it by.......that much" said the sales manager.

I'm not surprised though. I've always driven trucks that were just lucky.

Anyway, PDI Monday and finance is all arranged with the credit union. So I'm lookin forward to this and am very grateful that this dream became a reality.

61 miles on the odometer if we're keeping track of that sort of thing...

There was another Lightning on the same trailer. A Star White Platty. The sales folks were talking about the 93K MSRP on that one...

So somebody else here in North AL is getting one today too (it's probably at destination by now).

Mike

And this is the morning *after* delivery from the Ford Order Tracking site:

Strange that the Order Track site that I had been using did show it as delivered. Even though Ford's own site still does not (yet).

Farley needs to grab the process by the stacking swivel and get all the players on the same page.

Also, on another thread on the sister site Ford is telling dealers that their customers need to drop BlueCruise if they want their order to get built. This is after dropping the high end seats, and I guess some other stuff that would make certain trims what everyone expects them to be. A couple of years from now when somebody goes to trade their PB Platty in but it doesn't have BlueCruise or Multi-Contour seats, and other stuff....is it really a Platinum at that point?

I am glad that the Lightning got priority on things like BC and modules in general. But what a mess this is for the ICE crowd right now. Not to mention SD!

We might need a San Diego arrival party

Still no email here, and FordPass shows the truck still sitting in the same exact lot. Hope it’s wrong!!!

For your sake I’m hoping the metal rail car is blocking the gps signal and really your truck is approaching CA
