Haha you get it!! Here is a better pic

Co-worker has the same plate on his Tesla. Even though we’re in two different states I’d feel like I’m copying. Really like that plate.

That’s not funny. I ordered a 2014 Interceptor Utility for my fire department and Ford lost at the plant. According to the dealer, the Ford rep said that it got buried behind a wall of snow after several successive snow storms in January 2014. I did not get the truck until the beginning of April, after the spring thaw.

Argh.
Well at least we are not alone.

I just don’t feel as bad for the build weeks 5/16 and beyond, yet.
Feel like I’m still seeing them get a fair amount of ship updates

Well, I’m in week 5/23 with a 5/26 blend. I’m hoping the flood gates will open very soon so that our trucks can depart Michigan (no offense to Steve Lehto). I was told this AM by the dealer that my truck still has not made it through final inspection so that it can be released for shipping. Apparently, the ford rep asked how long, no ETA was given.

And I'm wishing that Ford didn't screw up and send my truck all the way back to Dearborn. Only 10 miles away from me until they sent it back on Saturday supposedly.

I’ve been sharing your pain with my friends.
while I still don’t have built status,I think your pain is worse

 

[rlbussard]

I'm sure this has probably happened before,

I'm sure this has happened before, but in the 3 dealers I have talked to, they haven't heard of it. It hurts more because it's my Lightning that I should've been getting sooner then later and not some other regular F150 that I wouldn't have been as passionate about.

Good Morning, I have a train delivery question that I hope someone here can help me with. I am in Boise/Meridian, ID area. I received my freight number and started to track the delivery progress. Accordingly, it left Detroit last Thursday on Canada National Rail and arrived in Chicago on the 19th. It then transferred to Union Pacific heading to Industry, CA. The automated response states that it will "arrive in Industry on 6/25 at 4:00a.m".

Does this mean that my truck is on a train heading to CA and will offload on the way, or does it mean it's going to CA and then coming back to ID? My dealer states that the truck normally gets pulled off the rail in Utah for a carrier. Thanks in advance for any feedback. Rail car ID is TTGX820859

That means it should arrive at the destination railyard in California on or around that date. My truck had a arrive at industry with UP of 6/10, but actually arrived late afternoon on 6/9.

Thanks. So your truck went from Detroit to Industry, to Texas? Who would have thought that was the most effective route

No, industry men's the final destination. For my truck industry was Mesquite Texas.

Thank you very much - that was the clarification i was looking for. There is a city near LA called Industry - I thought that was where my truck was going!

Made my weekly phone call to Ford Customer service for an update. Initial delivery was for June 17th, and never heard anything. The current delivery window is now June 26-July2.

Hope your truck is still making its way north quickly.

today is the first movement of my order since it’s produced on 4/27 from 4/20 blend.
someone activated ford pass. Was able to grab location while on the road, and a 2nd location as I am now parked across the street from The Rouge and rouge river.

from google maps it’s a big parking lot, so not really sure if I’m being staged for shipping or qc.
no changes: tracker, win sticker nor have I achieved published built status.

I hope the best for you. I wish that we could figure out a reason why all these early build trucks are being left in the parking lot. Maybe there are more quality control issues like mine.
