✅ 7/11/22 Lightning Build Week Group

[TaxmanHog]

@TaxmanHog did your car get dropped off at the CSX rail lot in East Brookfield, MA? If so do you know how long it took from there to get to your dealer?

I got my railcar number from Ford chat and according to the CSX tracking the train should be in Selkirk, NY tomorrow morning.

My train was originally scheduled to arrive at East Brookfield on Friday 7/29 but was delayed along the route between Buffalo and Selkirk, it arrived Saturday evening about 26 hours late.

Then was placed until unloading Monday morning, the rail yard driver denied my access request, later I resent a request for access.

Then on Wednesday morning, it was loaded on convoy hauler, driver ignored request for access, the haul left the yard mid-day and arrived at my dealer around 4:30 PM on Wednesday 8/3, that evening I paid a visit shot recon photos and sent my salesman a heads up email.

8/4 Thursday morning he called me to say the were jumping on the PDI immediately, and it might be ready in the afternoon, but no later than Friday 8/5. I told I would like to drop by to take a look at it and do an inspection and maybe a test drive. Got there ate 3:30, by 5:00 the deal was done, and we drove the Lightning home.

So the worst part might be waiting on a convoy ride from the rail yard to your dealer!!!
BTW, how far into western Mass are you, Adams?

Saw this and looked yours up again. It had another hardware install on 8/13???? I’ve now been released and awaiting shipping for a week with no movement from Area 51.

What kind of hardware is being installed. Geeze, @chrislittle is going to end up with a custom one of F-150L Raptor w/37 package…

Thanks for the detailed info

I am just outside Springfield so I don't feel that far west. People who live inside 495 however might view it differently.

@NoCharge Thanks for that note. Appreciate you doing that. Hopefully that's the last piece of hardware and it can make its journey to the Northeast.

Heather assisted me today. I'm still hanging on Ramp 5M. She did give me the previous status that Vehi-Ship LLC was the carrier for the convoy to New Boston.

That’s useless info now that you’re on 5M. I burned several days trying to track vehiship. Here’s to hoping you get Wendy tomorrow

Never get involved in a land war in Asia?

Why? What happens if you get involved in a land war in Asia?

denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance
These are the stages I have gone through in the last 4 days.
Ive finally accepted the fact that it is perfectly OK for my truck to sit less than 50 miles from my dealer for a couple of weeks. It does not matter that I reserved it in May of last year. It does not matter that I ordered it 8 months ago. It does not matter if a a hell storm dents it up. It does not matter if it is stolen from the rail yard. It does not matter if it gets wrecked while they are playing a giant game of checkers with all the vehicles at the rail yard.
I am good with it all.
