✅ 11/28 Lightning Build Week Group (MY2023)

[YankeeCP]

I just checked my order and now see an updated Estimated Delivery 12/29/2022 - 1/4/2023. I’m not so concerned about getting it this year now with updated tax credit information released for 2023

same- would be nice to get the credit much sooner than later though

First time on this forum, but mine was delivered yesterday in MD and wasn't marked as 'shipped' until the hour it got to the dealership.

Nice! What build week/Blend date?

Check with your dealer, likely it is on a truck and not updated, may just show up at the dealers without being marked shipped like mine did.

I have the train tracking and it was shipped Dec 28 @16:14ET. Only chance I would think is if it arrived in Delaware already or will before tomorrow. Or if the info is wrong lol. Then it still has to get on a truck over to the dealer. Wish I hopped on whatever train you were on!!

Well, FedEx took an extra day and a half to deliver a check, but finally got the chance to pick it up this morning. Hopefully the rest of you all don't have to wait too much longer.

So far I am pretty happy with it, and I'm sure as I get a chance to actually drive it on my daily commute it'll be perfect.

Shipped is checked off now, but went straight past that step. Called the sales manager who said he has (had?) 8 Lightnings sitting in PA waiting to get to the dealer. He wasn’t at work today so will be checking tomorrow morning.

Confirmed the truck is at the dealer.

It’s looking like Ford isn’t going to get my truck delivered to my dealer in Michigan before Jan 1st. Apparently getting it to me isn’t a priority for them. Anybody know how long I can make the dealer wait before I complete the purchase (after they finally get it from Ford)?

I've heard Ford's policy is 30 days. Not sure if that's true.

My delivery estimate got pushed yesterday back from 12/26-1/1 to 1/3-1/9. Guess that means it should show up today? Lol, fingers crossed.
I really would like to get it this year as I might not make the income limit next year...
But I also have the dealer holding firm on the $5k price protection and claiming they can't get a hold of Ford to confirm.
This process has been so ridiculous....

Potentially some good news for you - if your income qualifies in 2022, you are good for the tax credit in 2023. The IRS details released yesterday say you just need to qualify in year of delivery or previous year.

I just picked up my Antimatter Blue XLT SR from Family Ford in NJ! Been sitting there for about a week until the dealer could get their shit together and let me buy the truck.
