Mine departed Indiana on 7/8 at 5am via railcar, just got on with Ford chat today and in almost a full week it has made it all the way to Illinois lol. It is waiting to depart from there via Canadian National railway.

Was hopeful to think maybe mine would show up a day or two early, I was thinking surely it won't really take a full 3-4 weeks to get from Dearborn to Oklahoma but I guess I was wrong! Chat said it would arrive on the 24th which is a Sunday and the dealers are closed

It only takes about 7 days for to get from Dearborn to The DFW area in Texas. So you're probably a day less than that.

That would be nice, unfortunately it's already been 7 days and apparently it's only in Illinois.

@Ford Motor Company please just let logistics know we‘re still here.

@Griddlez @RDeFran are we the only ones left from this week yet to ship?

Can't begin to imagine how pissed off you guys must be - you're a full four weeks in front of me and I'm at the point where my excitement for this truck has been replaced with a dull...whatever. Two months off the assembly line with no delivery in site and a potential rail strike have sapped all my enthusiasm and been replaced with total exasperation.

I asked my dealer to reach out to regional rep. I doubt his word that he will.
I feel my order is just dangling because I’m not getting an updated eta. Guys from end of June get their built with an eta, and some are shipping.
you too @bosox8 feel like there is a small group that is just not on anyone’s radar.
‘have you figured out if you go by train to twin oaks then trailered back to htown?
Or some other path?

what adds to the frustration is that there are so few left in (what is being tracked) the not shipped.
now I’m parked in a lot with hundreds of other trucks. Obviously it will take weeks to clear that lot.
‘other member sent recent satellite its crowded.
‘that and they left the rear door ajar. Hope not too much rain makes it way in.

I really hope your regional rep connects the Ford Logistics Team to find out when it is scheduled to do out what is happening with it.

The rep that was helping me told me about a dissuasion where someone's Mach E was left on the lot for 3 months. They had completely forgot about the truck until the rep contacted them to put it back on the radar.

One thing to keep in mind is that we in this forum are still the minority. How many people has this been done to that don't go on these forums and have also waited, and waited to no end? You would think that this being the 21st century no car should be lost, especially with almost all the cars having a modem/GPS now. I never thought about custom building before, and this might be my last time. However this apparently is the way things will done forward, which worries me.

I wouldn't put to much thought into this experience, this is not the norm. Ford will get back into normal 8-12 week turn around from order to delivery like it has been until mid 2021. I've ordered several vehicle from Ford and my lightning is the only one that was ever a problem for me. I ordered a 21 F150 in January 2021 and I picked it up late March.

Nope, Jack crap new info or movement. Blend 4/22, Built 6/25, and as of 7/5 I have been (per the VVR, don't have ford pass access) at ramp 58 in Melvindale awaiting shipment. Worth mentioning my dealers demo that was built 7/8, that went through the same ramp 58 area, is already in transit. But I raged about that in this thread already so I'm good. Back to waiting.

Do you have an estimated delivery date?

Yes - that is the one thing - I should stop whining so much because I am technically still in my ETA. 7/19-7/25

I have been whining about mine too, but I had some unfortunate events happen to my truck. I had an ETA of 7/21-7/27 and it turns out that it should be delivered to the railyard on 7/18 or 7/19. I just got a railcar on my vis report yesterday.

That's a positive at least.. I hope it's good to go this time and at the very least meets your ETA.

One thing I am working on doing now to preoccupy my self that I'll mention here. I've been following some of the Ford Pro Charge Station threads.. some people getting them.. some folks saying sunrun said they're on backorder now and won't get them for a while.

I found a good deal on someone selling theirs on ebay and went ahead and bought it. Getting this installed (quotes, contractor install) will keep be busy for a week or so lol. I'll do what they did and sell mine when I get it in from sunrun (whenever that maybe).
