What trim and options

What trim and options

Oh, sorry! Let me lay everything out. It's the Lariat. The only options I added were the max towing and floor liner. It's Antimatter Blue. Before all this 80k MSRP tax credit stuff, I had decided I really wanted the extended range battery, which puts you so close to the Lariat price, that I just went for the Lariat. Now I won't get the tax credit!

My stats are -- in production Dec 19, Blend on Dec 20, showed as "built" and shipped on 12/31.

Truck's train car is at the auto ramp. There's a number of vehicles pending pickup to head to the dealership. Maybe I'll get lucky and my truck will get in on one of those convoys. My dealer hasn't been super eager to sign a purchase agreement that I need for Parsons, I'm going to try and lean on them today. I would really like to get it this weekend since I would probably have to wait til the following if we don't get it done.

The dreaded micro chip hold. Lariat ER w/max tow package, deployable running boards, 511A. Blend date 12/23.

A guy on a tremor forum works at ford and will look these up for me. Very grateful.

My truck was "Constructively Placed" by CSX in Selkirk, NY this morning. I imagine convoy will get it the final 2 hours or so to my dealer within the next week or so. ETA was originally 1/29.

Hopefully mine is on next train to Selkirk.

If your planets are in full alignment, otherwise it could be a few days waiting on a final leg convoy from holding yard to dealership.

Are all of those status updates for your truck? I think mine is also at ramp 51 waiting on a chip or chips. Looks like February delivery at the earliest then… Shoot

Yes, they are. The guy that sent it to me works at the plant I think. Dealers and Ford chat can’t even see all that info.

I know. It’s tough to see everyone with a blend date right around yours receiving their trucks. I need to find something to take my mind off it for a few weeks.

In an amusing twist, Ford is now predicting a 1/27 - 2/2 delivery window for me, as my truck sits a few hours from the dealership having been offloaded from the train. I feel confident I'll be able to pick it up by the holiday on Monday, but we shall see.

Heading to dealer Friday to take a look and see if Lightning strikes.

I will at least take a picture to share here and to remember it by.

Guys I am not kidding. I am at the dealership, in January, and a freak massive thunderstorm hits in Charlotte and I am looking at the truck ands lightning is hitting like crazy west of me lighting up the sky. Blunden most likely saw it down in Charlotte.

Had to take the omen and run with it. I worked things out and brought it!

I took some pics but they won't download. Get a prompt that image is to big. Had HDR on my phone at the time

By the way I purchased at Randy Marion Ford in Statesville. They really worked hard to help me make the purchase. They had done a paint and interior protection and had a 880 charge added. I showed them my DORA did not have it and I did not ask for it so they took it off. No mark up and 899 doc fee.
