I am just curious if anyone took delivery of a new Lightning since the transit hold and resumption of production.

ā€˜14 Silverado, ā€˜23 Lightning Lariat ER (ordered)
I asked this exact question last week and didnā€™t hear anything. Eventually the mods moved it to a much less visible thread.

My estimated delivery is 3/22 to 4/4. It was built 1/31 and shipped 2/2. Iā€™m looking to finance about $30k and really want to take delivery before 4/1 if at all possible since I imagine interest rates are going to go up in reaction to the Fed rate hike from yesterday.

FWIW it may not hurt to look into getting financing lined up. I was able to use a rate negotiated in early Jan about 60 days later. Dealer required me to use their financing (ridiculous) but I had stayed in contact with my CU while waiting for truck to come in and was able to refinance using the old rate in early March

@detansinn I think I remember you saying yours was stuck at the port in Wilmington, DE? That's where mine is stuck. Latest delivery window for me is 04/13/2023 - 04/26/2023.

Yep. We're stuck at the same place. I am still showing 3/21-3/27...

Hah! No way we're even picking it up from the same dealership... eventually.

I'd double check the Ford order tracker too. https://shop.ford.com/vehicleordertracking/

Sometimes they're out of sync. My reservation page still lists 3/19/2023 - 3/25/2023. I'm getting my April delivery window from the order tracker.

Yes, it is a small world.

This is what the vehicle order tracking is showing for me now. Crap.

Built 1-30-23

My tracker ETA stopped updating 3-8. I now have to call or text customer support just to find out the latest ETA update/lie. My latest update says 4-7 to 4-14. It will probably be some time this summer before I slip into my lightning. :sleep:

Reservation and Orders Status still says an estimated delivery of 3/21/2023-3/27/2023.
Legacy Vehicle Order tracking is now giving me 4/15/2023-4/28/2023.

When I called Ford almost 2 weeks ago, they said that the truck was likely going to arrive during 3/21/2023-3/27/2023. I found out that it wasnā€™t when my dealer shared this screen with me last week.

I hope that I see the Truck before the end of April and not see the date move yet again. In the absence of something more concrete, Summer is a possibility for all of us. I wish that Ford would be more forthcoming on actual status here.

My tracker is giving me a delivery window of 4/1-4/14 . Well see if it holds true. Not holding my breath. Might just pay for thing in full if it keeps getting delayed.

Just want to add this in here, but this is the first lightning I have seen being shipped to one of the two dealers I can track since the hold. This truck had a blend date of 1/19/23.
