Yes, I did and I wrote back a scathing reply email about their little game playing. Today I am going to call the Ford Customer Service and I guess get the same parroted crap they always tell me when I call them. By the way my dealer admitted they received two customers Lightnings. Since I was #2 to receive the truck how did someone behind me get their truck. The dealers and Ford are both playing stupid games. Can't wait for this BS to get finalized. By the way there is no way in hell I am going to get my truck by August 23, 2022. The Dealer already prepped me that by the time they off-load the truck and deliver to the dealer might take four weeks. I am really pissed off about this foolishness.
It's all up to the build week and mine went off site for the bed liner so that added time. I've got a Priority Build and you see what can happen. Scathing email or not, there's numerous factors that do affect delivery date. People in 8/1 are getting there vehicles but it's not because their special and we're not, it's just how the moving, and not moving, pieces involved. You'll get it eventually. Try not to let it bother you.

I hear what you are saying, but I still don't understand how these other trucks that were produced after ours are being delivered and our trucks sit and gather dust. Some of the guys on these forums are complaining about how badly these vehicles were delivered and attributed the scratches and misuse to all the time spent in these holding lots. Also the fact that Ford changed our status to Shipped and then pulled the rug from underneath us was a dirty deal. I think I have been real patient with all these delays, but I am not going to sit back and wait without a fight. My sense of humor is long gone and I am amazed that the dealers are not on these Ford Reps like stink on shit.

Hi Taxman, I received a formal email from Ford this morning saying it was shipped. Miracles never cease...lol Thanks a million....................What about Regular 150's truck ??

The aging status says 3 days and 20 hours. Does that mean the truck was shipped 4 days ago ?

Once you have your rail codes from customer service or your sales manager (VVR)

Track it using these resources based on the rail line you're on

https://www.f150lightningforum.com/forum/threads/🛠-8-15-lightning-build-week-group.10214/page-42#post-253889
Taxman this is what the dealer provided me: Your Ford Lightning is currently in Melvindale, MI on Ramp 58. It is on Railcar #TTGX695913 according to my tracker. Do I also need the Car Initials or is the car initials part of the Railcar number above ?

Well Aqua, I'll just follow yours as they are probably next to each other in the car!

Those letters are needed

NS Norfolk Southern
1. Call 800-635-5768
2. Press 2.
3. Press 2.
4. Enter the letters on the numeric keypad then press #. As in: TTGX will be 8849
5. Enter the numbers then press #. It wasn't taking my voice prompts but typing worked.

Ford is giving you your last known location unless they track it as it moves. Melvindale is 3 miles from the Factory. It's a huge step just to get on a railcar as those are a very scarce resource. See map.

Well I'm in Destin Florida and rally for the Wolverines, so roll over the Tide would be more appropriate! I go to Mullinex in Mobile for my automotive purchases. The Family owned Franchise of dealers is amazing at any of their stores.
