✅ 5/2 Lightning Build Week Group

So this one hell of a story I got from my dealer. My truck didn't pass quality control for a TPMS sensor, hood latch, and w could other minor things. It was shipped by mistake and was never supposed to be loaded on the train. Now has to be shipped all the way back to Dearborn to have the things fixed. A transport is taking it back on the 18th.

Once it gets back, it's anyone guess as to what happens after it gets fixed. It could be expedited back down to me, or I could be just waiting in line like everyone else. This news couldn't possibly be any worse. These are such small details, I wish they would've let my dealer fix it. I'm totally distraught now. I already have the loan now and with interest rates going up, I may have to get another one if this takes too long.

This is terrible news. How do they let a truck ship all the way when it doesn’t pass QC? Garbage.

My feelings exactly. Now I'm going to be into July or later until it comes.

This really sucks big time, and we've seen two other trucks with abnormal handling and processing!!

I can almost guarantee you that all the those trucks that show shipped that didn't have an actual build date and just a check mark, they probably fall into the same situation as me.

 

[Labs4Lightning]

Yes, both. The only thing I haven't done is remove the Lightning, and then try to re-add, which I was holding off on for a few days hoping for a more concrete update otherwise...

I deleted from from app, then re-added, after deleting, reinstalling app.
***I spent over 2 weeks with message try again once you take delivery.***

then the other day I got the activate button again - now - pending activation.

@Aminorjourney You should probably check with your dealer too, likely they were on the same train???

According to my last couple of chats with Ford Chat, I've been stuck on Ramp 5M in New Boston, Michigan (which is a CSX railyard) since June 5. They are still stating a July 3 delivery which is within the June 27-July 3 window on the Ford site. Apparently it's not yet assigned a new railcar number so my hopes of an early delivery are starting to fade.

Mine is next to yours I’m guessing. Same ramp and same location according to Ford. Suppose to be delivered to between June 24-30.

OK, Good to know it's not getting lonely. Seems like most of the active folks on this thread seem to be Southern or Western parts of the US so haven't heard much about anything with transport to the Northeast. I'm hoping our trucks get loaded up soon to start the journey.

You may have answered this before, but is Gresham hitting you up for ADM or were you able to get a straight MSRP deal through them? I've been invited for a wave 7 order and my current dealer won't commit in writing.
