That sounds like you could be on the same Train as I am. Thursdays lineup with my date and the other dealers truck date. Send me a private message and I'll give you the delivery date to Mesquite sometime tomorrow evening. It's supposed to transfer from the Canadian railroad to Union Pacific tomorrow and then I'll have an actual delivery date.
Will do - I'd love to know I got loaded up earlier than I was thinking it would be.

I'll give you the number to the rail yard also. So a couple days after it arrives you can call and get a status to see if it actually is there. It takes them a couple days to unload so you can't call right away.

The wait and lack of accurate communications is frustrating. I will say finally taking delivery and getting to drive it for the first time makes a lot of that frustration disappear. @TaxmanHog you can mark me officially delivered 06/30.

Penske (and specifically James Jarvis) were a pleasure to work with!

The icing was the truck fit in garage (barely), it is longer than 2011 ( I thought it was a couple inches shorter) and the Tesla charger working fine. Pro charger will be installed at farm.

I was actually sad to part with my 2011. It is still a great truck. Then I drive past the gas station prices and the love affair diminished.

Yes, it works. I have a couple different adapters, but I started with the 60A TeslaTap. It added ~28mi per hour. The Tesla adds ~41mi per hour. I need to add ODB2 and do better job of charging rate monitoring. I was just a little too excited to be playing with new vehicle.

Just sent an email to Jim, politely asking why communication and transparency is so difficult. It's 2022, communicating with your customers/clients is fast, easy and cheap.

Literally, no order-related updates form Ford since March 29th, when I received the "scheduled for production" email.

Not mad(well...) that I won't be driving my new Lightning this holiday weekend. I'm pissed that Ford can't be bothered to even let me know what's going on... for months on end.

Fully expecting a reply from Jim :)

He didn't respond to me on Twitter when I expressed to him about the same crap.

That brings up a good point since the shop.ford.com and .ca tracking sites do not memorialize the date of shipping nor delivery.

I would like everyone to use either the date of the SHIPPED email, or the first date we observe our status moving from "BUILT" to "SHIPPED" .

Having the shipped date will help with statistical measures.

To those that got the shipping notifications via email (not the one with the picture), at what time did those emails come in? Was it like build email and it was early in the AM?
