✅ 8/7/2023 Lightning Build Week Group (MY2023)

[itdwebman]

All the trucks are shipping to dealers with the requirement that the BECM update be done in the field (your dealer), 90 minutes or less if they find no health issues with the battery pack, (only 4% of packs, mostly older builds have issues with the battery pack), as fast as the technician can get to your truck the sooner you'll have it in your hands.

I am waiting to get confirmation from the Dealer that the BECM update has fixed my CSP and final pricing with the latest Ford $7599 credit.

Thank you for the reminder....
Like I said a few times before, Ford customer support calls are useless for the status; my call to them this week the guy had some computer issues (probably checking stuff from his home) and he couldn't give any more information than what I can see on my own computer.... That's really a shame for Ford who wants to promote vehicle electrification and I do hope that things will get better for the future customers....
And my dealership in Arizona, NO communication whatsoever unless I call once a month and request updates that I never received..... I tried to change dealership once I had establish my build but unfortunately it was too late for me to do so and I now regret it.... If and when my truck gets released I'm not looking forward to the sale process with that dealership...

Here is proof of "Life" of my Truck. It is in final preparation for delivery. I saw it yesterday and WOW. It is fantastic. Will take some getting used to driving as coming from a 4Runner. I am told the CSP was cleared with a software update. Test drive and finalization of paperwork today.

Interesting little note on the windshield. Wonder if this explains the "delay" at the factory

received shipping notice via email and it shows "shipped in progress" online. I guess there is a pulse!!

Truck arrived last Friday at the dealer. Delivered to my driveway today. I've never had a vehicle with all the fancy-dandy features, so it's gonna take a while to figure everything out.

Reservation: 11/12/2021
Order: 3/30/2023
Delivered: 10/18/2023

Almost two years!

I'm skipping the home integration system, having a switched neutral transfer box installed between main panel and sub-panel. Sub-panel has all the important stuff for the house. Main panel is lightly loaded and will now supply the charger.

I have the same color! It's awesome, every time I see it!

Ain't it the truth! I wanted the Iced blue silver originally but since they dropped it, I went for this (Azure Gray). Sure am glad I did. Looks like they're dropping it for 2024. That should make this color relatively rare.

The Truck is now mine. I will be wishing all quick deliveries and be using this forum to ask questions about the Truck and charging I cannot find at the Ford site.

Next week bed spray and a top for the Bed. Then let the adventures formally begin

You're not alone....Blend date 8/11/23, still in production 8/15/23. Calling Ford Customer Support since the end of August and all they do is give me another possible delivery window going on one week at a time; as for my dealer same thing zero communication.....
I wonder how much longer is it going to go like that? Almost approaching the end of October now, so maybe I'll get a delivery for black Friday next month or maybe I should send my request to Santa!!!!

@ncollins516 You've Got a Truck to pick up!!

 

[Count Orlok]

I'm still laughing at this from Ford. Why on earth would they approve for so much more than I'm spending?

@ncollins516 You've Got a Truck to pick up!!

yes. It’s there. Just my luck away on vacation with the fam when it finally arrives.
Hoping to get by end of the week!

I tried to use "Ford Credit" via my dealership and was presented with a "terrible" interest rate 1%+ above what I could get. My credit is excellent so not real happy as I expected a ~7% ish rate given the current interest rate world we are in.

My guess is you are approved to purchase a really big Commercial Truck

Great for Fleet Buyers!!!!
