✅ 6/6 Lightning Build Week Group

[GreaseLightning]

Went to the dealer this morning to get the ball rolling on the purchase and everything went well. Had done the purchase and sale way back when and the trade value on my current vehicle was acceptable.

They are charging the truck now and will get it ready so I can pick it up tomorrow.

My truck was selected for testing at the factory and there was a note saying the odometer was around 38 miles when they were done with it. Hopefully it's a good sign they used it for testing and things went well. Has around 65 miles now, which I thought was a little unusual because I don't think the dealer had taken it for a spin. Everything looks good regardless.

Counting down the hours until pick-up!

Ford website, under Order Status:

Shop.Ford.ca:

No love on mine, no order status button. Maybe it has to be shipped first. Although, previously it has an estimated delivery date.

 

[TaxmanHog]

I don't see my estimated delivery date on my ford tracker?

Where are you seeing it?

It's only visible on the personal order page after you reach built stage.
It is still visible there in shipped status as well as on the Canada tracker

 

[TaxmanHog]

So weird,

Delivery date or even a space for it are missing off those sights for me.

It's only visible when you get to shipped status

I'm stuck in the house, taking my 24 hours of CPE to maintain my EA credentials... 2 hours a day Tues. Wed, Thurs for 5 weeks, next week I'm done!!!!!

Road trip this evening to the race track, I am not going to haul as I am still under 500 miles.

I will leave at 100%, arrive at my mid-trip charging to determine the no-load SOC.
Continue to the Epping NH, stop at the track and watch the street night racing.
Might offer a couple racers some 120v pit juice while there.
Then head home, enroute stop at the same EA charging station determine SOC
and then arrive home to see what ending SOC will be.

The end result of this excursion, finish initial break-in, base line energy consumption with out the trailer, then projected de-rated range for the next trip which will be with the trailer and then determine actual impact and if my mid-trip charging scheme is well balanced.

When did you get your Ford Charge Station Pro? I got mine approx 8 days after taking delivery. I received an email from SunRun to confirm my delivery address and that was it. So pretty painless.

I got my Sunrun address confirmation email 8/6 two days after taking delivery.

Waiting for shipping notice from them or FEDEX, I subscribe to FEDEX delivery notifications, as soon as they get a shipping order, I'll know it's on its way!

Check that, I JUST got an alert of FEDEX app, it'll be here 8/15 eleven days post buying the truck, 5 days transit from California!!

Lightning struck at 11:57 am this morning, take delivery tomorrow.
When asked about where he'd been to get 24.7 miles on the odometer, Atlas shrugged.

Hint: I entered my X-Plan PIN at the very beginning of the online shopping cart and got the X-Plan dealer's fee of $275. It doesn't affect pricing, but I'll take the savings any day. It also automatically protected the $100 cut in D&D.

Pfft... 24.7??

I think mine was used as the employee lunch truck, clocking 80mi's... and counting...

Had a great commute this morning!

 

[Lightninorian]

The Pro looks great in that color! I have a rapid red pro on the way. I hope it looks that good.

Woot Woot! My truck now shows "Built" (Aug 9). I was starting to lose hope (in a
first world problem sort of way).

Amazing Lava, now you and I are the only two in our group that haven't shipped!
I bet yours goes out first, something about being stuck in mot shipped makes me think it's buried somewhere behind new production.

We are geographically on opposite corners of the delivery spectrum. Either way I'll likely get it after you as I'll be headed out on vacation around the time it will arrive if it ships in the next 10 days. I'm back Sept 9. Can enjoy it upon my return as the drudgery of work and life cranks back up.
