✅ 6/6 Lightning Build Week Group

[Firestop]

Updated delivery ETA moving to 7/21-7/27 up from 8/2-8/7

My truck is staged in United Logistics yard at Portland’s (OR) Terminal 6 with 18 other vehicles bound for my dealer…I’m #8 in the queue. The local UL scheduler told me earlier today he hoped to have my truck at the dealer by the end of the weekend.

I viewed this update this evening on my account webpage…Ford trackers have not updated yet…..

@TaxmanHog , I submitted a tracker change form…..

Someone got in my truck this morning and declined Ford Pass activation. I hope it is at the dealership since it's been showing "shipped" for two weeks now.

My guess was right yesterday. Got up this morning and checked Order Track and shows "delivered". Also had an email from Ford with the following:

If they don't call me by noon I'll make a visit to them.

This is some information I've deciphered for folks still waiting. The pic of my truck coming off the assembly line was taken July 4th(I'm sure those union workers were getting holiday pay). So, took approximately 16 days to make it to Houston from the Rouge Plant. Also, tried to activate Ford Pass and got an error to try again. I expect to be driving at least by Saturday depending on PDI.

A quick side note. I traded in my Mach-E first edition last month. I put 18,000 miles on it in one year and two weeks. I bought it for 61K, dealer gave me 59K trade in and sold it for 65K! I'll be saving around 3K in sales tax on the Lightning. I've been driving my Roush P-51 Mustang since then (love that car) but the Lightning will be my daily driver.

Now that your rail car has transferred to UP, you probably won’t see any more location updates on your VVR after it leaves the IHB Blue Island (IL) Rail Yard until it arrives at the final destination rail yard. Rely on UP for your most up-to-date locaion info until them

Can you remind me how to track a UP railcar?

Just got Built email.

"Congratulations your lightning has been built. It was a very difficult labor, the vehicle was Breached and we had to do a QC-Section on it. "

" The vehicle was sent off-site to a Specialist for observation and intervention. "

" We've been informed your Lightning made a full recovery and is being released from the ICU and is preparing to be transported. "

" While the other Lightnings Born on the same day have been released weeks ago, we have full confidence your 6/6 Build will integrate with the rest of it's peers.

Sounds like everybody won on that deal!
I hope to finagle a similar trade with my barely driven F250 PSD, even though it's older, they are going for premium value in todays market. 6.25% sales tax credit for the trade value helps mitigate any shortage of trade value against aggravation of making a private sale, weeks later.

Finally, a tiny bit of movement. Moved to Built. I'm highly suspicious of that delivery timeline as I'm in California. Bronco took a little over 3 weeks once it was put on a rail car.

Can you remind me how to track a UP railcar?

From my notes taken from another forum member’s post:

Union Pacific​

​

1. Call UP at 1 800 877-5123​

​

2. Follow phone prompts for Trace​

​

3. Say the railcar number complete and clearly. Example CN123456 all together​

​

4. Listen for your update​
