A few months ago in another thread, one owner described a trip where his Lightning finally arrived at the lake, including pictures. Well, mine has finally arrived at the lake too! But it's staying! We live here.

Congrat's!!!

Just checked my window sticker and it now reflects the current MSRP of $49,995. and my delivery window has shifted a week later to the end of July. fingers crossed it comes in soon so I can get the good interest rate that Ford is offering.

shipped date 6/26/23. Estimated Delivery 07/22/2023 - 08/04/2023. guess ill miss the low interest rates FORD is offering until 7/31/23. I could have flown to Michigan and taken delivery(if they would allow)and driven back to Florida in two days. and saved the destination fee of $1895 in the process.

Yes, but you benefit from the price reductions. Some of us were not so "lucky".

Nope, the dealers close by also charge the same D&D fee to MI customers

The stars must have alined, because I got a text from the ford ambassador stating that my F150 Lightning has arrived! and they are offering guided virtual tours which are 30-minutes one-on-one live video calls with a ford vehicle expert. The next day I got a call from my dealer saying my truck was there. So excited. I went down there expecting a fight for the purchase price that I agreed upon when I made my order. which was $46,974. the salesman showed me the window sticker of $59,974 and said I was in luck because the new window sticker that he just printed out was $49,999. I showed him a screenshot of the original purchase price of $46,974 and delivery charge of $1795. and requested that they change the price to reflect the correct amounts. we will see how this plays out. he said they are trying to contact ford for clarity. BTW got to sit in my new truck expecting to drive it home, but was sent home till it gets figured out.

My no options anti matter blue Lightning PRO is in my driveway! still can't believe it. first stop was going out to eat with the family at Ford's Garage. My Tesla wall connector is charging it now with an adapter. The interaction with the dealer was pleasing. After all the horror stories that I read about I was expecting the worst. I had all my paperwork and screen shots with my $46,974 price and after calling FORD they did say I was price protected. So I ended up with the price that I ordered and the $1795 destination fee and I financed thru ford for 3.9% and got $500 off. can't beat that! super happy. They even took the price protection difference off the purchase price so I didn't have to pay taxes on it and I don't have to wait for a refund check....this is how it is supposed to work.

I wonder if you're the last of the 4/24 build week?
Anyone else still waiting for delivery?

For anyone wondering. I checked my acm to see if my pro had a radio with SiriusXM and it DID NOT. So not able to enable it with forscan

Officially no, as got a truck from the earlier build week, but our order for this build week still has not shipped!!! The dealer is showing it as incoming inventory, but it has not moved from the rail yard for almost 10 weeks now I think.
VinView still shows it has not moved..
Soooo glad I got the identical truck, have been enjoying it immensely these past 6 weeks.
