✅ 5/16 Lightning Build Week Group

[TaxmanHog]

So does the new sticker layout no longer include a blend date? I can't find one on mine, just the 6/16 date which you are referring to here as the invoice date.

Correct the blend date is gone on the post build version.

Also the denominator of the sequence ###/### seen in the past is now fixed at ####/4061

Today's status from ford chat: Unit on hold, no reason listed for hold, No ETA for hold release.

Got an email today saying Continue your purchase at your Ford Dealer. Assuming this means that they have the truck now.

Guess you’re going to have a decision to make, maybe kept both the R1T and lightning?

My window sticker also updated like the others above.
Also near the top right where the blend sequence was, the numbers changed.
Not sure what 330/4061 means. Shipping sequence???

Built date was 6/2 with estimated delivery between 6/23-6/29. Haven't received any shipping notification, still only shows built.

Excuse me for my ignorance, but what exactly changed about your window sticker?

No worries, I wouldn't read too much into it. A few codes changed on the top line, might mean something useful or it might not.

I think Taxman did a better job of showing the changes in his post above (look at the image he posted showing the top line of a window sticker).

The blend date info disappeared, and some new codes are there now.

Another change was that there used to be numbers showing our build order during the blend week, now there's a new sequence (mine changed from 393/685 to 330/4061). Again not sure what that means yet, just another interesting data point.

Hmm so you are the third person to have this date change to yesterday. @F150ROD and I are the other two. What is the status of your Lightning (built date, ship date, location)? Mine has been sitting on Ramp 59 for 3 weeks, so I think something is fishy.

No ship date on ford.com. I don’t know where it is? I only know where it isn’t. And that’s my garage.

My window sticker changed too, I am 333/4061...

Shipping dates do not post but the status changes after 0500 hours daily as they are scheduled the prior day or so, Ron and I make contemporaneous observation as this event is occurring, daily every morning looking for these blessed events

I'll let the Ford dealer make my decision for me. They called me today to tell me it arrived, but they were closed by time I could call them back. I emailed the internet sales manager to see when a good time to setup a call would be. I think the Lightning will work better for me, but the R1T is a great truck and I'll still be happy if I end up with it. If they don't slap on ADM and give me a fair offer for the R1T, I'll take the Lightning home.

The only thing that may affect the deal is the R1T is still on temp plates and temp registration, and who knows when the dmv will send me the title, registration and permanent plates. I don't know how California law works, so it may not be possible to trade it in yet. If the dealership isn't willing to wait, which I wouldn't blame them, then I'll likely just have to stick with the R1T.

It was 05/04/22 and it’s now 06/16/22.
I downloaded the original and the new stickers.

Same for me

My dealer is asleep today just got the email and tracker showing it is delivered (North TX above DFW). Should be changing the avatar picture by tomorrow evening - going to be trading/selling the bronco and ram 2500 for this truck.

Update - went to visit the Lightning yesterday. All looks good, still needs PDI and detail. They won't have it ready until Monday, as it is their first EV and they want to take some time.

Found the tesla joke in the frunk

Overall really nice truck, a little low riding after HD trucks. Great interior, but the 12" screen UI will take some learning.

 

[V8BoatBuilder]

Great seeing trucks get delivered!!

 

[saturnschildren]

Picked up my Lariat ER Iced Blue Silver yesterday. Really like the colour. It’s subtle and changes with the angle and the light. Overall hugely impressed, taking it on its first road trip to the cottage today.

 

[run4tacos]

Great to see some deliveries. Have lots of fun!

They called me today to tell me it arrived,

Just checking to see if a trucks arrived at my dealer yet.
