Not yet. But Siri just told me it's been +873 days since I made the reservation for the exact Model-e F150 Lightning XLT ER that I wanted. Nothing special, just the exact trim that would be my first new EV. My first new Ford. Possibly the last truck I'll want/need.

The ride is almost to an end and I'm now at the point where drastic measures will be taken. No, I'm not going to bail. I've created relationships that are well beyond that.

Rather, from this point forward, based on the current information I have, starting today, with my 2014 ICE RAM 1500 gas tank currently at 3/4 full, and my Model-e nowhere in sight, I will NO LONGER BUY GAS!

Here is the latest on the vehicle on a railcar. I had UP fax me this an hour ago.

Anyone know how to tell where the railcar is currently on hold?

So maybe the flood gates will open now. I’m happy to report that my truck has arrived and all my online status bars have been updated. I’m heading to the dealer this afternoon.

Not to be the fly in the ointment, but isn't the truck on the top a platinum?

Looks like platinum wheels and it has the window in the rear windscreen +rear light bar.

hope its just a mixup which truck the salesguy pointed his camera at, totally common that they don't really know anything about the things they're selling.

That's great news, man! Since you're in the area, we'll have to meet up sometime once you've got your truck!

It did not, my dealership just had to do the leg work to get the price right

Can you provide any details on how the dealer got you the correct price?

My dealer corrected the price on the sales contract at delivery. It seemed like a bit of a hassle for them but it did work out.

Sorry I'm late to the party. Congrats on being what looks to be the first of us to get your truck! I'm not totally sure what my dealership did exactly, but the number linked up with current pricing when he did the adjustments. .

My estimated delivery window bumped out another week, Now 10/11/23 - 10/17/23.

3rd time it has moved. I think Victor had five moves?
