Did it hit you in south Charlotte. Came through around 5:15
Yeah about the same time I'm right off of Lake Wylie on the south west side of Charlotte. No hail just a lot of wind, rain and ⚡⚡⚡⚡

Resized to fit. Have to say the color doesn't photo well, at least at night. Really liked it in person

Crazy that my XLT was built 2 weeks before yours and mine is just getting ready to get on the train in MI. Scheduled for delivery in a little over a week from now.... 😩 Looks awesome 👍 I'm thinking about getting my rims powder coated black

Randy Marion is a huge well connected dealership. Not sure if that factored into it. On the wheels did you see what jazzmanmonty did with his? Page 22 on the "what did you do to your lightning today thread".

Dang it!! Now my delivery date is 1/20 - 1/26! This waiting is excruciating. I bet we are on the same railcar! It's like our trucks are siblings. (-;
Got on Ford Chat and got my Rail car#. Departed Melvindale @4:05pm LFG

My rail car is TTGX159758. I'm wondering if we are sharing the same one 🤣🤣🤣

OK, now I gotta know. I'm tied up all day today, but I'll see if I can get my rail car number. Stay tuned!

Truck is waiting for final convoy now, I used my account for United Road to check on it and it shows as pending pickup. Trouble is, my dealer has 20 or so also pending pickup and only 4 or so at a time in transit. I think I know where a few more days delay may occur. Hopefully it ends up on a truck soon.

CSX updated rail car status to "placed at industry" this morning. Hopefully transferred to convoy shortly. Does United Road do all the final legs to the dealers or does Ford sub it out?

@rio talked to my dealer, they say PCO is still classified as a rebate and will be applied after TTL. Guess we'll see how the paperwork pans out. Never got a follow up from the DRS (shocker), assume a 7.75% tax rate.

Thanks, my dealer said the same thing, essentially. Bummer. OTOH, they've confirmed price protection from the 2 most recent price hikes, so I am looking at the base MSRP of 47k. Not bad especially considering we dodged a bullet with the extension of the $7500 federal rebate.

They do most of the work in the north east, but there may be alternate carriers as well.

2023 F-150 Lightning XLT SR

Anyone here have any info on the current chip hold? My order is a stock XLT SR, so I imagine the hold is impacting everyone who’s not already seeing a built status.

This sucks, so close and yet so far…
I called the New Vehicle Support Team at 800-334-4375 this afternoon. My XLT SR was scheduled to build 12/19. My status has shown “In Production” for weeks now. Last Friday In Production had “1/4/2023” added to it. Nothing has changed in a week so I called the 800 number. They said it’s on chip hold until January 20-26th. Since we have the same build I’d guess we’re in the same boat @PittsburghLightning
