  1. How far have we gone? Your Lightning mileage?

    Got you beat! 35,869mi, September 2022 delivery. Overall everything is great. Have that clicking sound from the back above my head. Air dam error until the last update. A month ago or so the frunk decided not to close no matter what I did (wouldn't even try to close). I gently closed it by...
  2. Top Lightning gripes or dislikes.

    Oh boy, gripes about the lightning. This is gonna take a while... I've got a little over 5000 miles after exactly two months. So I'm averaging 30k per year. I also spend a lot of time in the truck, parked, climate control running, doing work, etc. I love the truck, I really love not having to...
  3. Front Parking Sensors Slow to Activate After Update?

    So I noticed something weird after my truck updated a few days ago. I've got some trash cans in front of the garage door. When I first got the truck and would pull into the driveway, once I'd get close it would switch to camera and the parking sensors would start beeping. An update came...

    Hey yours looks just like mine, except the window was down when they took the picture, and there was another truck behind it. Hope your purgatory ends soon! Unrelated, my charger is being delivered today.

    Hey Guys, picked up the Lightning yesterday. It seems very much like driving a regular truck, but quieter because it's electric and less bouncy when empty vs ICE. Otherwise it mostly blends right in. I hope Ford gets their issues worked out soon and you all have trucks in your hands shortly...

    What did they do in the "old days", you know, like 2019, when every car dealer in the country advertised Labor Day "sales"? I don't think they said "uhh, yeah, we pushed you to think this deal was only good for today, but you can't take the car home until tomorrow." Not how I remember it! Off...

    I never got a shipped email, but I got an email that says it's time to complete my purchase. I assume this means it's at the dealer now.

    Congrats @SteelTerp87 ! I just checked and mine is showing at the dealer too. At least the tracker with order number/VIN is showing at dealer, the ford.com my account is still showing In Production. My dealer is closed today too, but it's ok, I have a bunch of work to do today, maybe it will be...

    They wouldn't give me a time, just that it shipped. The different convoy numbers are interesting, but I figure there were 800-something built on the 8/15 blend week, so 1/50th is at least 16 and Maryland is a green state so I'm thinking 30+ are headed this way just from the 8/15 blend week...

    Wait what? I feel like I'm at the Academy Awards and they're calling out the winner, but I don't think I'm going to win so I'm busy talking to someone not paying attention, then someone next to me has to bump me and say "umm, yeah, your name got called..." Thanks for the heads up @TaxmanHog ...

    I'm so sorry to hear you didn't get a built email and only got a shipped email. Let me look deep, deep, deep down for a little sympathy. Humm, still looking... Nah, none there. Congrats on getting shipped through! With any luck it might show up today/tomorrow! Hopefully your dealer does PDIs...

    I wonder if it's something far more idiotic, like "oh, we can only put four ERs and one SR in each load because the ERs are too heavy for one of the positions. We only have ERs to ship and don't want to send a partial load, so we need to wait for an SR to be built so we can send these other four...

    Hoping a bunch of trucks start showing up next week! @dkf150 can be an honorary Marylander too. Seems Ford's MO is to be as bad as they can with sending shipped emails. I ordered some accessories from Ford's website (floor liners and wheel well liners). They were delivered yesterday, but I...

    Party at Ramp 51 sucks, can't wait to leave.
  16. ✅ 8/15/22 Lightning Build Week Group

    I'm hoping for that scenario too, and hoping for the scenario where the truck leaves and arrives the same day. Hopefully it will be the same truck that comes down 70, stops in Frederick, then drives over to Columbia...

    Nice! Seems like exactly two weeks blend to build for both yours and mine. I guess any day now. I've given up hope it will be this week. The watched pot never boils. The watched truck never ships.
