did your truck make it out of ramp Area 51? How long was it there? Thx
Yes I already picked it up. If you look at my posts you’ll see my time frame. I was posting progress here. Anyway, it was about 3 weeks from ramp 51 till delivery

It’s been a crazy 24 hours. Going from Ford telling me yesterday that it was sitting in “Area 51” and delivery was scheduled for 23 September and then an email this morning saying it was shipped today and then the dealership calling me this afternoon saying it was delivered!!! WTF!
Thank you Lexington Park Ford! MSRP and a professional process. I couldn’t be happier!!

Hi smart 7/11 people. Is it unreasonable to expect the dealership to remove the factory provided driver, install the antennae, and update the software to the most current version during PDI? How do you know what version the truck is on and what’s the most current VXXX.xxx pushed? Not having worked with the display yet what’s the magic required to find the current version on the truck? I should get my truck next week.

I’m on 3.1.0 according to my Ford app.

I feel like the kid in gym class still running the mile while the rest of the class finished long ago and waits….

Still no factory photo but the train is getting closer and closer. My railcar departed a yard somewhere in the Atlanta area this afternoon. The ETA to the final destination has moved up to Aug. 31 at 2:00 AM. So fingers crossed maybe next week 🤞.

Yes that’s right, three days to go 250 odd miles ☹

I was that kid, working my ass off to finish. Then about 3/4 of the way that one asshole who literally walks past me as I’m hiding and puffing through my jog

There’s just no rhyme or reason…at least that I can see. Guy in NJ posted in Facebook group that he had an 8/8 build date and picked his truck up today. I’m 7/26 build date 🤷🏻‍♂️

Don’t worry delivery may not be the actual finish line. I’m still “pending activation“ for everything except the blue oval charging network.
