When it was built I added the truck to the FordPass app with the VIN. When someone moved the truck they accepted it on the display. So now I can watch it sit in a parking lot

Duh, I should have remembered that. Nobody pressed the button on mine when I put it in.

I got my official shipped email from Ford today. I am going to try to do the Financing this week with the dealership even though it probably won't be "delivered" until next year. Even if I don't get the $7500 tax credit, at least I will save hundreds each year on AZ VLT. 2022 is the last year to get reduced VLT calculations for EVs. But it has to be registered in my name before 2023.

Called the marketing number again and the truck made it to San Antonio... Likely still in the train yard. I am out of town until January 1st, so hopefully I can take it home the next day.

Truck arrived at dealer this morning. Waiting on CU financing to finalize at 2.99%, I secured financing with USAA in 20 mins for 4.49%. Still not as bad as FOMOCO financing and I don't have to deal with dealerships. I'll refinance later.

Flight booked for Friday AM.

Funny story, called sales manager today who i've been working with, and he said Truck got there, but there was a problem with the battery. I thought he meant the 12v since it sat for a while, but he said no, the big battery. I was like, am I still going to be able to pick it up Friday, he said yea... I'm just messing with you. It's plugged in and waiting for you.


Phew... almost over.

Mine shows built 12/9 and still not shipped.

Is this unusual, when I last spoke my dealer he said it was on chip hold.

Truck is in San Antonio, Texas at the dealership, I'm in Indiana for the holidays. I'll be picking it up January 2nd. Can't wait!

My dealer also worked out a way I'd be eligible for the rebate. Woohoo!

Did you ask your accountant about this? Mine all said I need to take delivery, so i'm rushing tomorrow.

mine was on chip hold for a matter of days. This seems odd although you seem to be about a week behind me. Maybe soon?

Does anyone that has there know how to stop getting messages about Propower and the mileage limit? It comes on every time I turn the truck on or off and I’m concerned something is turned on (even though all Led indicator lights are off)

this is while charging I turned the truck off.

Edit: I figured it out. Here comes the learning curve.

Maybe. I'm near Toronto. Not sure how long it takes to ship, but i can drive to the factory in about 3.5 hours.

I also noticed that I had a window sticker, and now it's disappeared for over 2 weeks. The only logical conclusion is that the truck was abducted by aliens.
