✅ 1/16/2023 Lightning Build Week Group (MY2023)

[Jreed]

Just got confirmation that my truck is built and will be delivered sometime between 2/18 and 2/24. After a 20 month wait I finally have a delivery date.

Congratulations Jreed. Your blend date is a few days earlier than mine so I also hope to get a built date soon. 3 weeks for delivery does seem a little longer than usual but maybe their estimate is conservative.

Just got confirmation that my truck has shipped and the dealer confirmed the delivery date in three to four weeks which is longer than usual. Once again patience is required, for the rest of the future Lightning owners, good luck.

Congratulations guys looks like you’ll take delivery of your trucks before I will. I guess it takes longer to ship to Southern California than anywhere else on earth. Post some pictures when you get your trucks.
I’m curious if your financing the purchase, the quote I received from Ford was a very high interest rate, I’ll be financing through my credit union.

My window sticker says “CONVOY” so I’m assuming that my F150L will travel by truck from Michigan to Texas, that might be why delivery time is less. I’m still planning to go with Parsons FCU but they raised the interest rate by 0.91% on the 1st for an 84 month loan. What was the interest rate Ford quoted you?

Mine did too, but it was just on a truck to the railyard and now its coming by train haha.

Convoy for me as well.

My Ford dealer quoted me an interest rate of 7.4%. That rate was for 48, 60 or 72 months. Same rate no matter the loan length.
The web site doesn’t tell how the truck is being delivered it just says Shipped 1/31/2023, I’ll have to ask the dealer.

My bad I was looking at the web site and not the window sticker, which says convoy. I guess Los Angeles is the last stop for the convoy.

Well here's a weird one. When I look at the order track my order is back in "Order Confirmed" but on the reservation page my order still says "Built Estimated Delivery 2/17/2023 - 2/23/2023".

So bizarre. Hope the truck didn't fall off a cliff or something and it's just glitched.

 

[Texas Dan]

My status just changed to shipped. I guess now I will try to figure out if I can track my truck’s location. Anyone have the link for the tracker website handy so I don’t have to read through it bunch of emails?

Anyone else have an odd delay in their build (blend date 1-15)? i verified my BCE modules, window sticker for my PRO about two weeks ago now. Checked this morning and my truck still says in production. I chatted with Ford CS this morning and they told me the same thing they did nearly a week ago, that my lightning had an ETA of 2/5-2/11. When I asked if that when it leaves the factory or arrives at the dealership in CT they could not answer and referred me to the dealer.

So I called the dealer and luckily the sales rep was able to look up a bit more info. He said shipping had been delayed, but it looks as though my truck has been moved around a few times. He could track that it went from La Rouge, to Dearborn, to Flat Rock, to Dearborn. Not sure what to make of it, but the good news was he was aware of the pricing protection and private offer memos, even further I have talked to two sales reps there and they have said they sell at MSRP. Last but not least I mentioned my eagerness to get the deal done before the end of the month for getting the full federal rebate. I’m cautiously optimistic thanks to the Help from the dealership, but I’m seeing a lot of other trucks move while mine doesn’t even say built.
