✅ 4/18 Lightning Build Week Group

That's a positive at least.. I hope it's good to go this time and at the very least meets your ETA.

One thing I am working on doing now to preoccupy my self that I'll mention here. I've been following some of the Ford Pro Charge Station threads.. some people getting them.. some folks saying sunrun said they're on backorder now and won't get them for a while.

I found a good deal on someone selling theirs on ebay and went ahead and bought it. Getting this installed (quotes, contractor install) will keep be busy for a week or so lol. I'll do what they did and sell mine when I get it in from sunrun (whenever that maybe).

I really hope that they are sold out turns out to be untrue. I am already wired up, just waiting for it to arrive. That means I'll have to share my 60amp charger with my wife that is inside the garage or plug up to the 30amp RV plug I have outside. That will probably be way too slow though.

I've only got currently a 32 amp (40 amp circuit) ChargePoint. Enough to limp by at 7kW but I want that juicy 19kW. Towing our RV back home, I may come home more often than not with a really low charge and will want to get the truck back up quickly. Main reason I want to get the pro charger in sooner rather than later.

Nothing here either. Today is day one of the window.

GREAT NEWS - MY TRUCK MOVED TODAY 100 feet in same parking lot. I’m not kidding.

Was that closer or farther from the railroad tracks?

This is where I get a little irritate. Will we get extra charging hours and a gift card when our chargers are not available.? Probably not.

yes you’re right. I’ll settle down and wait until I get my truck

I bet you Ford doesn't give me anything for my 2 train rides my truck has had to take. I did a survey today after talking to customer service and it asked the number one thing Ford could improve. I went into great detail about how Ford's communication with customers would be the worst if it weren't for Tesla, but it's close.

I reached out(politely )to the chief customer experience officer, nothing but crickets so far.
I’m not trying to be unreasonable, but good, honest info, and fairness in delivery.isn’t much to ask when u as a company see the benefits and $$’s of direct to consumer.

What‘s even better - that was closer to the railroad, but after that post I got ford pass notification that driver door was opened then I was moved further back in the lot.
SOC 58% 97 miles.

checked weather radar - raining there and dude still hasn’t firmly closed rear passenger door.

Here is where my truck moved within the lot yesterday.
8:15pm Friday night they were moving trucks.

anyone know anything about this lot?

assuming That this image is fairly representative of the numbers of trucks stored here. It’s gonna take a bit to be processed to next stop/lot.

All I can say is it doesn't appear to be a normal Ford lot and maybe a carrier owned lot. But no idea.

Got my shipped e-mail like 3AM this morning. The site you have to log in to see shows the ETA still at 7/19-7/25. All the sites show this except the US order number / vin tracker. Canada tracker shown below.

@Labs4Lightning If the timing on the shipped e-mail goes like the built e-mail did, you should get yours in 1-3 days. We'll see..

I've got a campsite with 50amp and 30amp capability. Our camper is plugged into the 50 amp, we have an adapter (purchased for the camper) to go from 50a to 30a. Other than slower charging(plan on leaving to charge overnight), will there be any issues charging on the 30a with my 50a to 30a adapter?

Second question, I could swap my camper to the 30a with the adapter, would there be any issues plugging directly into the 50a to charge? This is less likely to happen but in a pinch where I need more range at a quicker rate, I just wanted to know my options.

I feel like either option should work fine, but just wanted to check just in case and make sure.

Thanks in advance, provided pics of the 50/30a charging and adapter I have.

Are you carrier or train & transport?

saw the guy to Louisville with ford pass all the way down I-75.
im headed out of town Friday am. Bummer, with my original 7/8 eta thought I’d be driving my new ford.
thing is with my ice car, I’ll drive at least 10mph faster

Pretty sure I am rail, based on the ramp code being in Wentzville, MO and that being a major train depot. Same place my Mach-E went through at one point.. they truck it from there (like 40~ miles) to my dealer. I remember that Wentzville train depot being slow too last year.. car sat there for a week before getting on a convoy.

I talked to ford chat today and it didn't appear I had any kind of rail-car number yet. Just says released to carrier.. so I am super early in the process. The person today was less helpful than normal; I usually get a little more info out of them. I'll bug them again on Monday.
