Still showing as "Estimated Delivery 9/17/2022 - 9/23/2022" but no word on where it's at on the rail.

At Folsom Lake Ford. Signing paperwork. Mileage is 13.6, 100% shows 314 miles.

Folsom Lake Ford in Sacramento area is superb, and thanks Matt for perfect selling experience. I have nothing but praise. They are actively transforming themselves to ICE+EV dealer and sell at MSRP as expected.

The Lightning is SOOOO good. This is the first time I own/drive a full size pickup, but I don't feel it is super large. Just a little difficult to park.

I have no issue one with one pedal driving or sluggish GUI which is actually not bad.

2 complains though, for a $80k ($88k now) truck, the leather seats material feels like PVC, and the 8 speakers sound not much better than a boombox.

I wish Ford could improve it for 2023 MY.

So there's only like five of us that haven't received our trucks?

I would be much happier if I just knew where my truck is currently located!

Feels like they shipped it to the wrong place or it got dropped off in a railyard never to be seen again. If anyone knows where it is, please let me know!

Thanks

I think yours with mine and it's stuck in Blu Island last I heard, which was posted a week ago without any updates since. So it's either just been sitting in a rail yard for a week for some inexplicable reason or it's close without any updates in the computer.

My app just moved back to 10/4-10/10. Sheesh. It’s been sitting in atlanta for 13 days awaiting hauling to me (just over an hour away). Womp womp - Feb 4 order , wonder how many ordered same day or earlier and still do not have their delivery

I've noticed you have been past due for several days with no update to your ETA up to now, that is odd since they often push out the ETA's as they are about to breach the deadline!!

My ETA hasn't been changed this last time although it was bumped earlier. I also think it's odd and not sure what to make of it.

What is your new out-side ETA?

What is your new out-side ETA?

It's still 9/23. It changed beginning of the month before it even shipped and now that it's been on the rails it hasn't changed again.

That said, I did find out my specific car was in KS as of yesterday. Based on past posts elsewhere, it appears it will take roughly 3 days to get to Barstow and then a day from there down to San Diego. I'm not sure if it will come off the train anywhere before San Diego or sometime after San Diego (it's headed for the desert so it could be routed over from somewhere north of SD or east of SD over in AZ and then trucked back over) but I'm anticipating somewhere around 5 days from now if there aren't any other delays or funny business.

Mine is on railcar #TTGX853679

But that does mean mine still has some traveling to do

When I checked your status on Wednesday your railcar was in Barstow. So it took three days to get to San Diego from Barstow...and mine is still in KS.
