✅ 4/18 Lightning Build Week Group

[Griddlez]

Talked to Ford Chat just a bit ago. No new real info. Car shows received at the final ramp as of the 27th at 18:16. Assuming this means it was fully unloaded that day as the rail system said it showed up the night before, on the 26th. So overall has been there almost a week.

I wish I could ask my dealer what has the lead time from that ramp been lately, all their rail items would come thru there, but I am sure they'll tell me they are too busy to check into that.

On the topic of activation requests
Mines been pending since before it left MI (I've also canceled and resent it a few times). Either it doesn't show up on the screen anymore or all my rail folks are good at ignoring it.

Crazy

Weird yours didn't have that, mine was all in the frunk ice chest compartment.....also found the box link stuff under drivers side rear seat, did yours at least have that?

Box link was under rear seat. Don’t know if anything got moved around during pdi.
not a terrible amount to pickup on Amazo.

my front plate holder is there too. I think I want to leave it off until I get ticketed/warned.

Wow this is grueling. Can you just post a picked up post, already.

I’m rooting for you. I’m not at 6 days with delivery. Love driving it. I might be ready to give up my ice car.

No front plate requirement here in Oklahoma! Just curious where your front plate is attaching to?

It goes between the hand hold for the frunk and the openings for the air vents dead center. It intrudes on both spaces a bit (still enough room to get your hand in to release the frunk and it doesn't cover the vent too bad

My ETA Just updated to 8/1/2022 - 8/7/2022. Dealers demo also updated to the same dates. Weird, I've never seen the .CA site update in the middle of the day/evening.. it's always been midnight. This updated just a little bit ago.

RIP camping trip if it doesn't show up by 8/5.

Sad breakfast sandwich noises.

Update 2 for 8/1 -- I kept thinking that record wouldn't update like that unless new info got put into the VVR... and I was right.

Contacted Ford Chat again (2nd time today lol) and a new entry was put in. It has been assigned a Convoy Number from Jack Copper. "In Transit - Shipped Convoy - Convoy # XXXXX Jack Copper Transport - Location Ramp 6K, Wentzville, MO"

No idea if that means the truck has physically been picked up now by a convoy truck or if simply the convoy numbers get assigned way ahead of time... guess we'll see soon. If it was picked up, it should be at the dealer tomorrow.

I felt same way when I left on my trip and it hadn’t shipped (why I feel for you, is yours had already shipped by then) it arrived at dealer night I returned. On the plus side I was able to drive much faster with only one fuel stop. Probably saved 1.5 hrs. LOL

And per the the tracker this morning the truck has landed. I just reached out to the dealer and they confirmed it is there. It'll be headed into PDI and hopefully if that goes well I can pick it up later today. Dealer warned me it was their first time doing a PDI on this truck (I'm their first delivery) so I will need to bear with them on that.

BUT @TaxmanHog gotta wait another 20 days so he really gets our anxiety. LOL OK He deserves his truck for all the extra time he’s put to the forum and his famous spreadsheet.

I’m starting to get emotionally drained, with all this support for our group of lasties.(it’s gotta b in dict)

I’m going to apply to Ford to be logistics director.
