Smart man. My wife went the opposite route, told me I wasn't allowed to get another white truck. I went with Avalanche (big stretch, right?).

I tried to talk her into avalanche! Anything other than the white. She wasn’t budging though unfortunately.

Many thanks! That's the hope, and there have been plenty of cases where trucks have out-paced status reports. Fingers-crossed for all the groups awaiting deliveries!

I feel like delivery times have been getting better and better as the year end approaches

She’s home! Some back and forth was required at the dealership, however the 7000k private offer was given right up front. Sales manager pulled the smartvincent no further issues with that.
The price protection was a whole other story. The sales manager “needed to be re-invoiced by ford to figure out how much the discount would be” and I said “it’s right there, it was 53,xxx when I ordered and it’s 58,xxx. AKA 5,000” went back and forth but couldn't let this thing walk for a 5k check I’ll get back. Even walked in with the policy flyer about the price protection. Wasn’t too happy about that part, everything else was excellent though!
The wife and I have never driven an electric car, but this thing has put smiles on everyone’s face that has jumped in so far (including ours)!!

Well Ford just sent me the photo of my truck so that's pretty sweet.

You know it. Great taste if I do say so myself.

Potentially Useful Info:
Just spoke with Ford CS -- and he was able to provide Private Offer info:
the Program Name, "MY23 Lightning Model Year Transition"
Program # 38570 visible in Smart Vincent
and my Certificate # xxxxxxxxxxx.
If nothing else, this means Ford CS can see & confirm the Private Offers, and should put to rest any issues with dealers pretending they don't know what's going on.
For Team 10/31 in Cali, he confirmed railcar#, transitions between various carriers/lines, and that the unpaid interns had not updated status -- but he guesses truck should be somewhere 'round NV by this point. -- We'll see (no updates from anywhere else).
