OK, I have my truck, but circling back to the 23B57 CSP Battery/Software issue...I assumed that part of the PDI included the software update being done (they had the truck most the day), but was frankly afraid to ask (and them say, oh, missed that, we need to keep the truck).
My Ford app and...
Picking it up this afternoon (unless they get stuck on the stupid CSP...no word on that yet)!!!
So here are my stats:
XLT ER 312A Spray-In, Fold Hard Cover
Ordered: 7/27/23
Scheduled week of: 9/11
In production: 9/14
Built: 10/6
Shipped: 10/8
Arrived at Portland, OR rail yard: 10/18
At...
Sooooo Clooooose...my dealer says my baby is OFF the train here in a Portland Port, waiting for a transport to make the final pickup. I am going nuts with anticipation! Hoping I have it by this weekend! LET'S CRUISE!
Just chatted with Ford...her info was quite different than what my dealer said (told me it was in Montana yesterday)
"I see that the vehicle is at the rail car location at this time and it is waiting to have a rail car assigned. Burlington Northern & Santa Fe Railway Co.
You can continue to...
That certainly makes the most sense...I had just read differently in other places before arriving here. Either way, it is maybe a couple days out. Then a question of it sitting in a train yard or not, waiting for dealer pickup...yuck.
I assumed it would be rail as well, but the window sticker does not indicate Rail (Ramp One: CA42 CONVOY)...I forgot to ask though, so I could be wrong.
Tracker shows Built: 10/6 Shipped: 10/8 LastUpdated: 10/11...Dearborn to Billings is about 1500 mi. So maybe 3 - 4 days of hauling? So, it feels like the hauler maybe didn't start the journey until 4 or 5 days after the listed 10/8 ship date? TOTALLY GUESSING.
My dealer just texted me and said my Ruby is in Montana (final destination Portland, OR). About 900 mi out or so? So, hoping two more days on the road...maybe pick up on Friday or Saturday?
I am getting NOTHING done at work right now!
Anyone know the skinny on new Lightning "Break-In" recommendations. On new ICE vehicles, you're told to drive certain distances, not push too hard, etc. This is my 4th EV and don't recall ever being told to drive it soft/tame for xxxx miles before really pushing it?
<edit>
I did find this in...
Very possible…what is confusing is why everyone’s truck doesn’t have the CSP? But someone mentioned that it is 90mins tech time, on thousands of trucks…so dispersing the work out to the dealers to do it certainly makes sense too.
I'm trying to land in the ain't-no-big-deal camp on this CSP-23B57 deal...but I find it completely inexcusable/inexplicable that:
Only some trucks have the software issue? I mean, didn't they ALL get loaded with EXACTLY the same version of software?
Why wouldn't they just update it there in...
OK, start the clock! Order Tracker says Ruby is on the way with a 10/17-10/30 ETA window to Portland, OR! THe Ford site says 10/20~10/24, so it will be interesting to see which one is more true.
I ordered Ruby in July because a) XLT availability b) Price Drop and c) Delivery in Oct Promise d)...
I can't seem to get a confident answer anywhere. I think everyone assumes the 9.6kw ProPower is using the motor's batteries...or is it actually a different battery pack? In other words, when you use the outlets, do you see the vehicle range drop?
Website...no emails yet...although a Text Agent pinged me Saturday...checking back with him today hopefully (I was not available to spend time with him, and his shift was ending).
