✅ 5/23 Lightning Build Week Group

[TaxmanHog]

Well Ford says my truck is in New Boston, MI. Whatever that is. The ETA showed July 15-July 21, 2022. There is an update pending. Ford is really bad at getting information out to the public about orders placed. If they plan on competing with Tesla on this front they have a very long way to go.

While doing the AM scan, I noticed a lot of over due or near due ETA's get later dates, it stood out in my mind why yours had not updated!

My truck is at the dealer! Heading over later this morning. Hope this is a good sign for the rest of the 5/23 group.

Yup, I marked your truck "arriving" at the dealership 7/24

That's where the train yard is, I believe. My CSX status initially had my truck in New Boston, MI before it left. Were you able to get a railcar number from the Ford rep?

Try to ask the Ford Chat person for the railcar number directly.

Awesome! I see your So Cal. I’m hoping my truck was on the same train yours was. Mine would get dropped off in Richmond. Have fun!!

OK, bummer.

Wife said I had to get rid of a vehicle after the Lightning showed up. I got rid of the Prius, how'd I do?

New Boston is where my truck caught the CSX train to the east coast (Maryland).

Yeah, my wife told me the same thing. I got rid of the Suburban at the end of January.
