i bought 4 fords from them since 2005 I felt I might not be high enough on their order list - though they will probably have one of the higher allocations locally.
I’m number 1 at bob bell, but seeing that they are shipping more week 2&3 builds, maybe being in first week of builds isn’t the best place.
more concerned about being further down the list in having chargers station pro shipped. Now I have to reconfigure electric to handle the a plug in 🔌 mobile charger.

I need to go to hurry up and wait. Happy waiting.
You've bought 4 and I've bought 9 since 2013. One every year between my wife and I and I'm apparently not high enough on the pecking order.

Me and @rlbussard pulling for those 05/07 blend delivery dates 😂
You're telling me. When I was pulling all those VINs on the spreadsheet today I was super excited when I saw all those build dates for 5/2 and 5/9. I patiently didn't jump to mine and continued to do them in order only to be disappointed when I noticed I didn't get one but many of those around me did.

Thanks for being so ontop of all this; I owe you a beer!

Question - what is your green highlighting by state?
Hell, yes, we're close enough to make that happen!!!!

States with ZEV incentive, the color green a visual cue for me when posting, filtering and viewing allocation trends within our tiny universe of data.

I'm hoping we will be able to get the Mass MOR-EV-TRUCKS, rebate, preliminary contact with the program administrators indicates confusion about our trucks being eligible, crucial concern is the 8501# GVWR floor, some Lightnings will not qualify, but some will, make sure you apply if eligible, and second guess any negative determination, bureaucrats make mistakes, TRUST ME ON THIS!

BTW, could anyone bring me up to date with Illinois, Texas & Virginia, have these states implemented their programs to the benefit of F150 Lightning owners?

Add VA to the list with delivery dates. 5/8 build with spray bedliner
Sorry- you're a 5/2 build week, and got confirmation that your BUILT date was 5/8? Did you get that before this email? Thanks!

He was saying his truck was produced on 5/8 which technically is built, but Ford doesn't fill in the built bubble until it's about ready to ship.

Thanks- trying to understand if he got any notification/bubbles filled in about it being built before getting the email, or if the email was the first update since "in production"

At this point, funding for the program has not been included in Virginia’s FY 23-24 biannual budget. Thus, no rebates.

Here is what I think is happening in my opinion. I have noticed that we are getting a lot more trucks moving these last couple of days out of the test track area and other places where there were a lot of trucks stored. I think that they have a bunch of people slowly driving these vehicles to the appropriate areas where the trucks are to be staged for the convoy or train. At this point then they will all be loaded onto the correct trains going to the locations. All of these people with BUILD dates over the last few days have the same thing in common, they don't have shipping dates yet. I believe that a lot of these trucks will start going out at the same time. I am getting ready to go through the spreadsheet to check all the VINs again, I will be able to report better what it is looking like after I get finished.

We have a small sample sized on this board of a couple hundred at most, so I am sure there is a lot more going on that we just can't see.
