I was traveling yesterday and did not see it. Hoping that I can catch that ride as the other Truck was ordered much later and cleared all steps quickly - I am guessing it did not have a CSP. Interesting how some orders and weeks move very quickly and others appear stuck in "mud" Hope the "THR Updates" show something promising and that I did not miss the train :)

My biggest "beef:" with Ford is lack of clear communication to the customer.

Yes, you have it and it will be updated at the dealership if the technician is motivated.....hopefully once the software is updated the battery pack will show that's it's good to go with no other issues.

Ford verbally communicated to me today (I called them) that my Truck is now in transit (as of today) - I guess it's hitching a ride with the VT trucks :) Hopefully a shipped email tomorrow. Ford rep said they could not provide the railroad company or the rail car.

Here is my update
Ford F-150 Lightning ✅ 8/7/2023 Lightning Build Week Group (MY2023) 1697116143779


Interestingly the the estimated delivery is now 3 days earlier and 3 days later 10/26/2023 - 11/07/2023. Guess I will wait 48 hours to get a better update from my Dealer (who is supposedly watching this for me.

2023 Ford F-150 Lightning Lariat (ordered)
On Tuesday, the tracker went back to "Order Confirmed"

Yesterday, it went to "Shipped". Then my dealer texted me saying that it arrived. I got off work early and went to the dealer, test drove it, and bought it!

It's pretty solid and drives like a dream. Everything seems to be working properly. The dealer was transparent and sold it to me for MSRP minus a $7,500 rebate from Ford. They said that it was in addition to whatever tax credit I would get at tax time for buying a BEV! That was a really great surprise! No hassles and they were really cool and as excited as I was.

Hope everyone else gets theirs soon. Looking forward to seeing more Lightnings on the road.

Must've had a train out to the west coast!
Just got this today. Looks like 10-11 days out to the west coast. I'm in the San Francisco south bay area.

Glad to see Trucks arriving at dealers and into the hands of our members.
My delivery dates have been pulled with two different estimated delivery windows

Truck arrived at the dealer last night. Going in tomorrow to discuss price, financing etc. Just wondering if you guys are getting any additional discount over the $1500 customer cash for the XLT?
TIA

I plan to or I'll walk. The price is just too close to the discounted Lariat price to not get more off. My XLT msrp is 74k. I don't really want a Lariat but no way I'm paying more for the xlt than a lariat.
