✅ 4/18 Lightning Build Week Group

That’s cool.

oh I should mention that my salesman is a nice guy. Tries to keep me in the loop, but like most here we know more than they do.

boat no truck for pulling, ugh.

i’m seeing used truck prices coming down a bit. I’m trying To limit miles, but a lot of time is passing. Luckily/unluckily no one has come knocking to buy it. There is a solid chance based on mach e and bronco guys (not to mention ice buyers) that I could be late summer or more. without any concrete info I’m hesitant to let go of my current truck.

what if you wanted to flip it? There might be enough of the, around by august that could cost ya 5 or 10k.

i can’t see why I would have interest in selling. Already spent enough with my 150’ run for charging.

I really hope your just missing or faulty frunk latch. and they put that bad boy back on a train by end of next week.

oh well I get to whine here a bit, that’s about all I can do.

i know We are small group but at least there are a few of us.

I have no intention of flipping mine until something better comes along. This process has taken me way too long, and the money isn't going to be worth it to go back to an ICE truck. There's definitely no other electric trucks to be had at this point.

I whine everyday when I wake up and notice that there no new status on my truck. For all I know it could still be in Mesquite waiting to get shipped back. I'm going to call the railyard on Monday and see if they can give me a date it headed back.

Just got the "built" email with an estimated delivery of July 20-26.

All tracking sites still show in production. The Ford tracker you have to login for shows in prod but says built and the same estimated dates.

Yea let's see just how close these estimates are. The trend has been almost always early I think?

Yeah that's what I'm seeing as well. Would love to have mine show up next week so I can have it for the holiday weekend.

That was something the dealer could flag you as before the waves of order invites went out. Only affected your place in line to order at your local dealership.

That does not make sense, IN PRODUCTION can only be the same or several days after BLEND.
If you share your VIN in a DM, I can research it on shop.ford.com when it comes back to life after the DB maintenance cycle has completed.

I know what a DB maintenance cycle is, but didn’t know Ford had one on their front end. What’s the timing?

No idea, I am not an insider, but in all the weeks past, the database has been available on Sundays, but not today, which is the last Sunday of the half year, so my guess is they are doing mid-year updates, security patches, etc.

In my pre-retirement days at the IRS, we did major updates on the last weekend of June and first few days of January.
