Good morning, 12/12!

This was posted in Build week 12/05, but since we're beginning to see deliveries more frequently, I wanted to share here, too:

Ford Credit is showing 0% interest for 36 mos.:

This was generated using the online B&P tool for a 2023 Lightning! 48 months bumps up to 4.9% and so on. I'll definitely be inquiring with my dealer and hope I qualify!

I saw this yesterday. I'm hoping that the 12/5 group reports back on the validity and success (or not) in getting this rate. It would be ideal for us when we pick up ours hopefully next week.

Arrived at the dealer last night.

No way that 36 month 0% is accurate, right?
Ford just emailed me my delay….grrrrrrr. Of course I already knew but nuts how disconnected their email system is from actual notification.

So the interest rate was not on the lightning as everyone thought. In Delaware 4.9% was the best I could get. Ford did have the tax form. Said they were distributed yesterday.

Unfortunately the 0% does not apply to Lightnings.

Opened the FordPass app (for the hundredth time in the past few days)... and the truck was being unloaded at the dealer! Bummer about the 0% for 36 mos. being a farce, but my excitement is now renewed.

Edit: Ford email came through after about 30 minutes and both trackers show Complete Purchase/Final Preparation!

Took Delivery of my Rapid Red Metallic Lariat SR yesterday. Seem like it went lightning fast. Must of had truck heading to Cincinnati.
Build Week: 12/12
Blend Date 12/17
Build Date 12/27
Delivered to Dealer 1/4
Picked up on 1/5

CONGRATS!

I just saw your post again, and thought wow! that could be me someday (i.e. receiving my new Lightning).

I'm built, but waiting on the convoy to central MO.

Enjoy - keep us posted on the adventure.

Built on 1/3 and now showing shipped!

YEAH!

My estimated delivery updated over night from 12/23-12/29 to 2/13-2/19 without any changes in the tracker. Have they been accurate on the updated/revised delivery estimates or will this change several times for me?

From what I've seen, those delivery estimates shift quite often and accuracy is... limited. What was your Blend date and what's the current tracker show?

No, my Estimated Delivery Date is still 1/1/23 - 1/7/23...no update at all. I can see the trucks GPS location is in a parking lot outside the plant using the Ford App.

Any updates from Ford Logistics yet, Jeff? That convoy trip to your dealer must not be as straightforward as one would hope... has your dealer seen these types of issues from Dearborn before?

I would put nearly zero faith in it.

Mine went from 1/3-1/9 to 1/24-1/30 to 1/10-1/16 in a 24 hour time.

No updates, I reached out to CS Chat this morning...is it just me or does that seem to be AI driven. "What's you VIN? Here's your status. Thank you." I responded..."Exactly what does that mean since my Estimated Delivery Date has passed?" I got, "Check with your dealer for further information."

I'm in tears but I'm not sure if its from laughter or the pain...lol. I'll reach out to my dealer this afternoon.
