✅ 12/12 Lightning Build Week Group (MY2023)

[Pod]

My estimated delivery updated to 12/25 to 12/31 from 1/7 to 1/13....ford chat said I'm on Ramp 59...no idea what's going on

Fords system is incongruent. My truck just showed up after delivery weeks earlier, then weeks later. Poof…it arrived.

This looks like there were prior attempts, the current effort appears to be a subordinate driver which must be approved by the primary account, if you no longer have access to that account, then you may need to start from scratch.

Thanks TaxmanHog, all it needed was a refresh (pull-down on the screen app).

Yes, that's another problem I frequently have, my Android APP often delays reporting a refresh of status' especially after doing a remote start, the app will say it started, but not show the countdown, if I force stop and restart, then I see the timer clicking down by the minute.

I had high expectations for this truck and it has exceeded everyone so far. I feel like I won the lottery getting this truck at the price I did.

@EdwinT and @Minh you both should receive the 2K because ur under the cap limit. I feel bad for you EdwinT. It looks like your dealership didn't play nice with this. I would argue with them that other dealers are doing for buyers. I hope they are not submitting it for themselves to get 2K, darn crooks! I on the other hand got screwed due to price increase that made it on the sticker.

Yea dude I am quite annoyed! It could’ve been $4k, then it should’ve been at least $2k, and now it’s zero!! The SAME exact clean energy center runs the California program but their MSRP cap is $60k !!! There is a small chance we will get lucky and they will raise the limit. We have to keep trying. Don’t give up!! Heck maybe that’s that’s easier path forward. Write to them and say california cap is $60k haha. The BPU can approve that. The center for clean energy is simply the facilitator. the Board of Public Utilities today actually approved extending their contract another year. You can see it here. Maybe we can contact these board members haha






They posted it on Twitter. Maybe we can comment on this post to get them to raise the MSRP cap(s).

I almost sure they need to raise the cap limit. Current 2023 start price don't even qualify. I will write to them as well. Ford marketing and whom ever I spoke with are clueless
On a happy note finally picking it up today.

Had same issue with he Mach E. For whatever reason brain stop functioning properly when it came to the lightning and didn’t think about it could the same issue.

Well my Lariet Extended range Lightning is in town, not yet at the dealership. But the dealer contacted me and there is 2022 Platinum available, buyer backed out. It doesn't have any of the deletes. So am on the fence whether I should pick it up. Any thoughts.

Your truck landed

The only issue I foresee is it must be done at the dealership. Even if they change the cap, for some of us that boat has sailed once we take delivery. Nevertheless hopefully we help out the next guy. Don't have twitter, time to start.
Now on a sad note, could not take home today. Issue with heated seats and regular heat not working. Yikes...

 

[EdwinT]

I think we have a fighting chance after the dealer since it wasn’t done by the dealer. But like you said…we help the next guy if we don’t get ours ! It’s about principle for me. Definitely about the money too, but a big chunk is principle

 

[jlferg0509]

Curious, anyone in our group get their FCSP after taking delivery?

Is been two weeks, I reached out Sunrun they said they hadn't received notice that three sale was complete but confirmed my info. Called my dealer and their admin people had left for the day so they said they'd confirm on Monday.

Trying to think of a time in my life where I was so excited to take a drive on the weekend. I know it’s just a truck but man, it is exciting. Also, I’m a little obsessed with the charging metrics. Fascinating adventures in amperage.

and out of now where.....my truck showed up yesterday! Lariat ER, Agate Black, Spray in bed liner.

First day was really fun, snowed 3 inches and it handled it like a dream. Remote start with the app warmed up the cab really well as well.
