✅ 5/16 Lightning Build Week Group

[Firestop]

Take everything that Ford chat or your Dealer tells you with a heavy dose of salt. Their systems take forever to update. They were saying my truck was in Illinois from 6/8 until 6/23 when it all of a sudden appeared in Richmond. I've been from In production, to shipped with no built date/email to in production, to built, to shipped again.

I at least had a railcar number they gave me, so I knew it was in Richmond before Ford's systems did.

I don't know how well that link works, but it's in line with what I expect at this point in the process.

Yep, grains of salt into inflicted open wounds. I definitely agree with some who have posted Ford really needs to up its IS game so it’s customers are provided accurate, real-time information if they’re going to be successful competing in the online retail vehicle order space…….

Thanks ! I was soo close to heading over there Yesterday after a trip to the lake, but my 4 yr old was no longer happy.

I just went and drove the demo model Folsom has, it’s a base model Pro nothing like the Lariat but at least I got to feel the ride. Smooth and quiet just like I figured. The steering feels really crisp and the balance of the truck feels really stable with little body roll.

Awesome.

I've got an XLT coming, so at least I won't have to drive a lariat+ and be a little disappointed with my interior

Im swinging by Wednesday morning to drive it. Will see how it feels compared to the rivian which i drove last Saturday.

The XLT interior looks like it’s going to be great too. From the pictures I’ve seen the cloth they used on the seat looks really good.

Ford Pass App went from "Pending Activation" to "Activate Vehicle" Not sure if that's a denial or the app just timed out. I hope its a denial, if so that means a human was in the truck for some reason.

You will get a push notification on your phone (if you have those enabled) and a message in the message center that says, "Sorry, XXXXX activation process was denied by the primary user and you do not have access to its FordPass features. If you believe this was an error, please re-initiate authorization process to gain access to the vehicle".

Try to activate it again and see what happens.

Thanks for the info.
This is the message I got when I tried to activate again.

"Feature Unavailable"
This vehicle cannot be activated at this time. Please try again once you've taken delivery of your vehicle.

Sounds like Ford possibly nerfed it.
