Shock of shocks, stopped by the dealer yesterday (who's been awesome BTW), and apparently mine is on a transport headed to NJ. Of course Ford support had no idea.

What an adventure
I'm just glad it was closer to the arctic circle than to mars.

Hilarious! Yes me too. Funny also, as we were actually north of the Arctic Circle last month to see the northern lights!

Same here with the 12/9 (finally) built but still awaiting shipment. If this is what you get for 2 grand I'd hate to see budget shipping options. For what we stand to lose, I'd gladly throw in another grand for next day air.

The guy at the store said this was a lightning charger but it doesn't seem to fit. ;)

Mine is signed, sealed and delivered. I'll take a real picture when I have light outside.

Be careful hauling those wheels. I read on the Internet that this truck can't do "truck things".
You need to stop watching Hoovie's videos...

They cause Brain Damage.

Yeah, but with those wheels it will look like it can do "truck things". :) I'm interested to see what the range impact is. I need my range too much, especially this time of year, so I'll have to run stock wheels and tires for a while and see how it goes.

Northern Bergen County.... Built 11/15, still waiting for delivery. Delivery date changed yet again last night. Now 12/22

Dealer says they can see the thing is on some transporter but no idea when it will arrive

I'm using the same dealership as you then, hopefully my truck will be right behind yours. Just wondering when you got the "shipped" notification?

Well I picked up my Pro a few hours ago. What an incredible truck. The dealer was another story. Another user on this forum bought a pro from them about a week ago and got everything worked out with them. However when I went in they seemed completely clueless. It took hours to wait for them to make phone call after phone call before I got the ok. All worked out in the end and I got everything I wanted. It was dark when I left so I'll take some photos in the morning.

Its all good. I've dealt with my share of crappy dealers so its nothing new. I will say they were very nice about it but it just took forever. Happy its over and I can now enjoy my new lightning. By the way, great recommendation on flooring it on the way home. Holy cow I thought I was going to pop a wheelie. This thing will probably put my corvette to shame off the line.
