Thread for people who haven’t got their Lightning yet to be grumpy in

[Labs4Lightning]

Is there any chance my trucks gps says its in lot #3 but its actully in transit?

My trucks been showing here for past 3 days

I’m just a few rows over from you. What does that get you. A big bag of nothing new.
been there 10 days. I use door locks to wake up. You can go to zone lighting and it will say connected via cellular and give date and time.

For those of you that have had their activation accepted, have you noticed a message that read “Plugged in Not Charging”?

This message comes and goes in my Ford app.

Thanks for the info @Pioneer74 . When you say repair work, are you referring to damage, fixes, both maybe?

Manufacturing or engineering defects.

Yep, get it every few days. Never seen it it say anything different either, like.. "Plugged in And Charging"

Well... Let's take a bird's eye view of the situation for a moment. Nothing about this is fair to anyone. You are still way better off than the people who reserved as soon as the website opened up well over a year ago and never got an invite to order.

Most people who were invited to place an order got lucky due to meeting certain criteria not known publicly when reservations started.

If you were able to order, you benefited from some combination of living in a ZEV state, getting prioritized by a dealer, and selecting the right dealer when pacing your reservation. You basically won the Lightning lottery.

If you really want delivery timing to be based on fairness, why do you deserve your truck any earlier than all the other people who reserved immediately on day 1 and are still waiting for the chance to order?

This is well said. I do feel like I hit the Lightning lottery, especially because I never win anything. I'm probably not supposed to be posting in this thread anymore , but this is a great comment.

Well as of this AM, I'm now smack in the middle of the large Roush... factory? manufacturing facility? building. So, probably getting some work done (manufacturing or engineering defects? )

I get the occasional accidentally unplugged message.

Oddly
my app says Updated xxx minutes ago, appears to be hourly. the previous few days I’ve had to force it awake to give me a location update.
ya know, just in case it moved all by itself.

I am guilty of the same. I have the SecuriAlarm setup for the doors, so I know it’s being accessed. Why do I bother refreshing around every hour… lol.

[Crilly]

I just checked my del dates. Moved again to 7/18 to 7/24. Approaching 2 months since built 5/28. WTF FORD.

I am ready to go to Detroit. Anybody think I could get some answers if I did?

And why won’t my delivery eta update
The truck hasn’t moved out of the parking lot in 10 days, and missed eta.

Looking through @TaxmanHog sheets, it looks like @MdnewF150 (5/2 blend week) should be the grumpiest, but his posts seem pretty calm. Next up is @jasonP (5/16 build week), but he is no longer a member of the board so it's possible he got his truck and bailed on us. Then we have the 5/23 build week where all hell seemed to break out with chip holds. There are four (me, @Cape Breton Lightning , @davidf01 , and @rdr854 ) of us in this group (congrats to @Oneand0 for escaping this distinction). Who are the next grumpiest people? I don't care since if I didn't mention you above, I've got you beat!

@Ford Motor Company you've had five weeks to figure out why some of our trucks are delayed, yet we have not heard a peep out of you! Just tell us what is going on!

P.S. this is for waiting on the 'built' date.
