My FCSP arrived today! Hopefully I can schedule my electrician to install it soon.

I installed a Revolver X4s tonneau cover yesterday. I love how flat it is. It’s really easy to roll up. Great design.
I also go an email from Sunrun to confirm my address so I should see my charge station pro in a week or so.
I’m really enjoying this truck. I’ve only driven 100 miles in 2 days, mostly around town.

LFG!!

PF2EV,
I’ll try to get to someone at Ford that can actually make something happen, the majority of the folks I have spoken to just tell me the same thing that its on its way (while sitting in Illinois)

For me the UP automated line says time, day, arrival or departure. I know it has arrived somewhere early am today, and is currently sitting waiting for departure. This is the seventh discrete event since it "Loaded Departure" from the Illinois exchange in Blue River three days ago.

I’m happy for you that your truck is showing some movement. I hope you get it soon.
I was supposed to take delivery between Oct 6-12. I’ll wait until the 12th and see if theres at least some movement for mine.

I had three "stopovers" on my train's trip. It would go from "loaded, train arrival" to "loaded, train departure" with an updated timestamp at each event change.

You're probably just a short time away from the "Placed at Industry" notice!

I think I am still in ND headed to Portland, via MT, ID, WA. I have at least 5 more days, then convoy.

Leaving to pickup the lighting in a half hour! The sales guy called to say the wrong truck came in, it was missing options but the right color. Then he said two iced blue silver metallics came in on the same truck. The other was a Lariat, he found mine at the other end of lot. Phew! So there is maybe another person not on this board that made an order or they are lurking here. Show yourself!

All looks good on the Lightning, fun to drive, so many buttons to learn! Was trying to figure out how to adjust the B&O unleashed sound system. Not sure I hear anything coming from the rear. Guess I'll have to start reading some manuals . Am I missing an obvious menu item to balance and adjust the 18 speaker 1080 watt sound system? There's supposed to be speakers in the headrest as well but I didn't hear anything.

Kind of funny, we stopped at an outdoor Mexican restaurant on way home and a souped up LOUD Audi R8 came in along with us. Guess which car got all the questions and looks. OK, he can go 200mph but can he carry a stack of 4x8s and not have the people sitting outside in the restaurant choke on exhaust?

Picked up last night! What a beast!

It took me some time to find the "sound" settings too. Initially mine didn't sound good. Press on truck Icon -> Settings Tab (top) -> Sound (icon). From there you can fix all sorts of things.

Thank you! I was wondering, are most people using the one-pedal driving setting? I understand one can come to a complete stop with foot off pedal not to mention conversion of kinetic energy back to stored potential in the battery.. Are the braking lights controlled appropriately based upon the effect of deceleration by taking foot off one-pedal accelerator? Don't want tailgating cars behind us missing a clue. Is the implementation of one-pedal braking lights done as well as Tesla, etc?

Checked the vehicle status tracking this morning and mine says delivered. It's in "Final Preparation" at the dealer.

I’ve been using 1 petal exclusively. I got used to it in the first 30 miles. I can come to a complete stop without touching the brake petal. I don’t think I’ve touched the brake petal more than 3 or 4 times in the first 150 miles. As for the brake lights, I’ll have have some follow me to tell when they come on.

nice - glad your truck is in! I've been in east brookfield since last tuesday. I think something is "up" with my truck - some kind of Hold by ford. Dealer has had multiple deliveries since then. They say they are powerless to do anything about it.

I wonder if your truck was actually put on another truck to be delivered - it's so damn close to the dealer! probably quicker to walk there and drive it back!

Picked up my Platinum yesterday evening at the dealer. It was showing to be arriving from 10/1 to 10/7 and came in the 6th.
