✅ 8/1 Lightning Build Week Group

[DevonD]

I have only one Platinum on my tracker but do not have a VIN from @DevonD , maybe they will report in and share the status of these options.

I spoke with the dealer on Friday and they said I’m still on track for the first week of August. My order experience has been different than others on here.. I never got an email from Ford, only a call from the dealer. And I can’t really see anything online in my reservations window.

In store order placement, ask the dealer for your VIN and 4 character customer order number, then we can research it from here.

Looks like you got hit with the seat delete too, @DevonD

Yup..... :-(

That's a bummer. I think that is the one feature I wish I could have on the Lariat..

 

[DevonD]

That’s pretty disappointing. Called the dealer and they basically said take it or leave it.

Same, that and the B&O Unleashed. Almost ordered a Platinum but had to “settle”. I’m sorry @DevonD - I’m sure you are upset and rightfully so.

I feel your pain too. I got from my dealer that there was nothing they could do at this point with the VIN already issued. The problem is that I upgraded to Platinum for the Max Recline, then had those seats yanked out from under me with no notice from Ford or my dealer. A Ford rep on here is looking into it so we’ll see. At this point if I can’t have the seats I’d rather have a Lariat ER and save about $12k. As it is, I might be forced to take or leave a truck with 20 miles less range than that ER and a bunch of premium features I don’t need and less payload capacity. If I had the Max Recline seats with massaging it would be a different story, I’ll be taking road trips with my girlfriend who doesn’t drive much and taking a nap at charging stops would have been great with those seats. Unfortunately the $12k lighter my wallet will be over the Lariat ER won’t give me any more range . . .

Ford should have to add them back in at a later date - $300 off is not acceptable if not for a promise they will make it right later.

 

[DevonD]

The wording at the end “the Multi-Contour Seat Module is not included, deeming the feature not functional, and they are receiving a credit of $300.” Almost makes it sound like the hardware is there just not the module to operate it.

There is someone on the 8/15 build week (don't know if he's on that build week thread) - GOP.EV.Driver on here - that had his deleted and added back in. I don't know if that was a hopeful dealer trying to just take a chance on actually getting some pair of seats they find in a corner of the warehouse or what, but I really hope our build week isn't the redheaded stepchild (apologies to redheaded stepchildren) that didn't get the seats and also had no option to downgrade to Platinum ER. It's getting down to the wire here . . .

So if i am reading tis correctly, my Blend date is 8/01, so when would the truck actually start production, and on the right side, does the 3/812 mean i will be the third of that production run week?
