I hope none of these delays reported here are connected with the recent reports of large scale truck thefts from Ford factory lots recently.

19 150 lariat, 22 lightning lariat blend 4/18/22
SOC 60%
I spent the morning watching my grass grow

Now I’m watching paint dry.

seems the same as looking at the tracking app and seeing no updates in 3 weeks.
Yawn.

Not going anywhere for awhile - better have a snickers.

I guess the porters get paid by the trucks they move. 3 different lots and no progress to mention @Ford Motor Company i am getting a tour of the area: melvindale, Detroit and now Dearborn. Thanks

Shit they can steal mine because it's been sitting in their stupid parking lot for 57 days. Probably be easier to have them Build and ship a completely new truck.

We must be parked side-by-side. What an absolute shit show @Ford Motor Company. Kindly send me a link to the 4/26/2022 Farley video with all the assembled media (who refuse to write about non-deliveries, just repeat the pablum emanating from excited Ford officials).

Farley said that he had all the pieces parts to fully complete 15,000 Lightnings. If his cousin Tim Farley were alive they could make it into a comedy.

I just heard that the Order Blanks for the 2023 F150 Lightnings are available on July 15. If by some miracle these jackasses deliver my truck by September and the new 2023's are already out does that mean I am accepting a depreciated truck ?

It doesn't matter when the "blanks" open. A 2023 will not be delivered before late October.

But aren't these same lots used for storing other F150's too?
Here is the article I read about it..........
Thieves Target F-150 Raptors: Ford Facing Security Issues As Supply Chain Disruptions Forces Inventory To Sit In Storage Lots
Yes and no.

But the thieves target the Raptors for stripping and reselling. Same reason the RAM trucks that are stolen are always TRX models and Mustangs are Shelby. They want the parts. It will be pretty hard right now to steal a Lightning and sell the parts with the limited number on the road.
