Loving the Star White? Is the truck everything you thought it would be?

I do like the star white, but that light blue color really grows on me as time goes on and I see pics of it in the wild.
as for the truck generally: a 1000 miles in, I think what’s most remarkable about it is how not different it is from the 2018 F150 I traded in - and that’s a good thing
thr entire charging paradigm is different of course, the ride far better, the speed unnecessary (I like), and the frunk a game-changer
but otherwise it’s remarkable for still being an F150
I look forward to you receiving yours

So estimated arrival date window just got pushed back another Two weeks Makes sense as vehicle is still not shipped. I guess I'm an honorary member of 8/1 build week!
While looking for where the trucks jack is located, no problems but wanted to know where it was, surprised to find it's mounted in a bracket the right rear passenger seat.
Also found these two stickers on the back of the seat, looks like I got the seats intended for another build that was in process a day or earlier than my build, it would seam that as long as they are they same configuration, and colors, then it's doesn't matter much if commodities get jumbled in the build process.

They placed another sticker on the part designating it to my in production dated 6/17

Just a heads up, SUNDAY REPORTS will be in the evening. I am doing a towing endurance test with my Lightning, a 200 mile round trip to the drag strip, the Destroyer is still out of commission waiting on rare parts.
EDIT ( I ended up just doing the towing test, no racing, the Street Glide was used to simulate load in the trailer on a typical race day)

Up to 900+ miles, Tried out Sport mode, I like the aggressive acceleration and 1PD deceleration rates.
Finally got the City building departments approval to do electrical work on our detached garage, they agreed to our plan to install a second service line to our property, National Grid previously gave us an approval pending the city concurrence. Barring any supply chain issues with equipment we should be connected before winter sets in, hopefully much sooner.

@Regular150 any news in your front?

I haven't really paid enough attention to it (on/off tests) but... is there much of a noticeable difference with sport mode? I think I only knocked it on once and mostly noted it didn't come back on by default at power on.
After almost 1100 miles - 1PD has been decent for me in normal mode but I'd love to have a few stages to make it more aggressive. I feel like normal mode should be level one of three.
Kinda uncomfortable at people pointing at the truck while I'm in it at a set of lights. Still only seen one other (a platinum)...
After a shutdown and then restart, the center cluster will show a pop-up question "Continuing in Sport Mode Y/N?", of course I said yes, LOL!!

never seen that come up. The center screen is disappointingly laggy (and may be my biggest complaint about the whole vehicle) so I've kind of been ignoring it as much as possible unless CarPlay's on. Barely even using the cameras because of how many taps it takes to get to them. Utter nonsense UX design.Oh well perfect excuse to go for a drive and test it!
