Rail Car: TTGX996727
Estimated Arrival: 10/11 - 10/24 (updated today from 10/14 - 10/20, padding on the front end with days already passed is a bold move)

Found information on how to track. Last update for this car though is currently from 8/29, unless I’ve done something wrong which is a strong possibility.

Shipped: 10/16
Rail Car: TTGX996727
Estimated Arrival: 10/14 - 10/20 (currently unchanged from first report and would likely break the laws of physics to meet)

Give it a couple days, the string is being built railcar by railcar, I think the rail tracking will update the ETA once it rolls out of the Rouge facility

I hadn’t checked this in a few days, so I’m not sure when it first hit:

Mine showed the day after “built” status. Still a dealer fix as I understand it.

Ohhhh, yes, you're now 10 day since in production, maybe you will see built in the near future

Rad. So, this is likely a software update?

I don't know, they are shipping all trucks to dealers and letting them do the software updates and health check of the battery pack, if yours is one of the rare 4% with cell defects, they will also remedy that as well.

“Shipped” on Monday, but still sitting at the rail yard. @Ford Motor Company there’s gotta be a better way. I’m dying here.

Uh, bro. You’ve got it bad. Worst I’ve seen.

Patience is NOT my forte.

I’ve always been an off the lot, “eh this color is close enough” vehicle buyer. This is next level for me.

False alarm ... 12 truck none of then are SR !

Same. I’m 30+ years a general contractor, been driving an ‘11 F150 XL standard cab long bed down-and-dirty work truck. Aside from its terrible fuel economy, it’s done everything I’ve ever asked of it (and only has 91K miles on it). This Lightning will be the shiny new thing I’ve worked hard and waited for, a long time. When it comes it will be a game day decision. It’s a big spend and I’m expecting my dealership to soak me for it…
Post pics when you get yours!

Tracking was “updated” at some point today but rail car reportedly hasn’t moved. Wonder what the update was.
