✅ 7/11/22 Lightning Build Week Group

[bobrosco]

Just got the picture from my dealer. Hopefully picking up tomorrow..

We all hate you and are happy for you at the same time.

EDIT: As more "Built" and "In Transit"s happen, and no "Built" for me, I'm shifting toward more hate...

Speak for yourself. Just hate.

Envy. Jealousy. Maybe even a little sleepy. But no happy. Not yet, it’s too soon

Edit: My order tracker now shows "In Transit" so I can be convinced to be happy now.

Just left dealer. First time I ever saw a pro in person. Seemed pretty nice. It wasn't ready for delivery yet so I'm still getting tomorrow. It's weird. I've been impatient for a year. Now suddenly I am relaxed and not in a big rush to get it. I think because I know it has finally happened.

I wish all you guys luck. Those waiting on trains seem to be where the hold up is.

How many miles are folks seeing on their delivered units? Mine is showing 39 miles sitting on a railcar in New Boston, MI.

It's been a while....but...

If rail car A leaves Flat Rock Mi at 4pm ET traveling South at 70mph and rail car B leaves Flat Rock Mi at 6pm traveling west at 75 mph. With a convoy C to pick it up from Twin Oaks PA, with a maximum speed limit of 55 mph and 17 traffic lights that rotate at an average of 3 minutes and 26 seconds...

1) How long will it be until rail car A reaches the platforms at Twin Oaks PA?
2) At what time will I get my truck?

Please show your work.

PLEASE...... my mind is numb already taking my annual continuing education classes to maintain enrolled agent (Revenue Officer/Collection) status!

You can call and ask them who it’s being transported with.

I did call today..my truck is loaded on a carrier but the carrier isn’t full and waiting on one of you slackers on this thread. Who ordered a bed spray? I blame you.

They better not load my truck with yours. No detours please. Heck I am the only one in Bama put it on a hotshot today!

Collections? Are you the guy that says give me my money when someone on the forum tries to flip a truck and claim the tax credit?

According to the famous special theory I think the speed of the observer would also figure in to the equation. We must know from whose perspective we are measuring time as well.

The chat people say the shipper is picking up my truck on the 30th. The order website still says ETA of 7/24-7/30, which seems really unlikely, but next week seems realistic.

I guess I lost the race for our build week though.

 

[slick44]

shipping to NY, production date 7/15, build date 7/25. estimated delivery 8/10-8/16. hopefully it comes before then.

The observer is mostly static, sitting in front of a computer hitting refresh on the order tracker

Glad to see I'm not the only one checking it on the hour every hour, at least while I'm in the office.

It only makes sense to, I don't have time to do this while I'm home. What the heck else am I supposed to do at work?

Exactly when else would I have the time to wait 27 min and 14 seconds to chat with a Ford rep to find the status....
