✅ 5/2 Lightning Build Week Group

[GDN]

My sticker shows CA34 with a 5/18 blend date going to DFW so hopefully they are holding enough room to fit mine before shipping!

I think the number that are showing with that info they'll need a few more trucks or rail cars. You won't have to wait long. Not sure exactly if Google is showing me what I asked for but it looks like there could be 40 Ford dealers around the extended DFW area. My dealer had 11 orders I believe so there should be a few hundred Lightnings headed our way this year. There should be a few rail cars/trucks headed our way every week.

I searched all of AutoTrader and our spreadsheet that we pulled from AutoTrader about 5 weeks ago and couldn't find anything using the tracker that shows the truck has been built or shipped going to CA34 for Texas that we saw it in the video.

It may be possible that I missed some or they were for customers not on this site, but I think that it's also possible that Ford is not updating the tracker with any information at this time. Since the mannequins were built first, I would figure that they would have been the first to ship. So those vehicles that we seen loaded possibly could have been fleet vehicles and not customer vehicles. The video clearly showed several trucks going to CA34, but I couldn't find one that shows it has shipped already or even had the built bubble checked. I checked customer and mannequin builds in this check that I did.

I think you’re right in that they are limiting shipping info. I did also find it interesting that those trucks loaded did not have window stickers, unlike the ones at the parking lot. They probably took them down on purpose so we can’t track.

You can almost make out a vin below the CA34 number.

Is someone can figure out what the last six numbers are, we might be able to figure out something.

If they are totally built and not awaiting chips @FordMotorCompany could help solve their shipping dilemma by letting owners come to pick them up - bet you'd see those lots clear out by the thousands...

I hear what you are saying, however.. . . . our country is based on dealership model. You can tell me you’ll go to dealer first and pay yada yada.. . . . But those dealers have a lot more leverage “suggesting” extended warranty, financing options and how about the surface protection package when the truck is in their lot and you can’t escape until they are done with a pitch.

also ford mo co doesn’t want that kind of direct consumer contact for any minor problems.

yes - I would have flown out a month ago. But lawyers will be paid a lot of money to stop direct to consumer sales where possible.
i went to a grade school with a family that had dealerships. They still do, I’m sure they don’t want to become a service facility only.

The white Platinum being loaded into the train car had a sticker on the driver's side window that said retail.

I will go through all those again if the tracker is working better. When I was doing this this morning it took me quite a while because the tracker would take like 2 minutes to show data.

Were they all CA 34?

 

[GDN]

I was thinking at one time the window sticker used to have a dealer name on it, or at lest maybe a dealer number. Does that not exist any more, or maybe never did and I was just dreaming it?

I guess we don't have a way to truly know which dealer each of those is headed to.

Are you telling me Ford bambozzled all of us and are only shipping dealer demos? That would explain all the Lariats and Platinums loading up....No Pros they were "starting with" as Jim F said. We got Rick Rolled boys/girls.

 

[yed19]

Since they are all F001, the vehdicleordertracker works. I pulled two of them and then called the dealership on one to see if I could schedule a test drive and the lady actually told me that the unit was already sold and that it was not at the dealership yet. I think I will move onto some woodworking I need to do to pass the time. This can't be healthy.

I doubt they are only shipping demos. Each dealer gets 1 demo. It wouldn't make sense to deliver 1 truck if you had 2 more customer trucks that you also want to deliver to the same dealership. So imagine they are shipping customer trucks with the demos. Otherwise they would have to do another delivery weeks later.
