Found the issue, Ford sent some of us the low polygon trucks:

dealer just called, my truck is at the dealer in walnut creek!!! this is after silent on rail tracking since 19th, nothing on united road, delivery estimate pushed back last night.

looks like they trucked it from vegas.

expect everyone should get some good news shortly as well!!

Can you ask if you came in on full cargo hauler with other Lightnings? Assuming so, I have to assume there where more lightings with you going to places.

And, just to be clear, did they confirm it was hauled from Vegas?

Maybe hope...

i'm just assuming it was trucked in based on circumstances, but will try to confirm.

Did you order a cybertruck?

You may be right, but Google says their source for the images at that res is Copernicus which is updated daily from Sentinel satellites. Those trucks definitely weren't there in yesterday's image and they look suspiciously like Lightnings...but who knows.

On another topic:

How are you paying for your Truck?

I'm bringing in outside financing for my first time, and the Credit Union wants me to get a signed buyers order from Folsom Lake in advance to get payment ready day 1. I asked Scott yesterday about it and he hasn't gotten back to me yet. Not sure if you tried to do something similar.

Have you asked your dealer? You've been there a week now right?

I just asked. It arrived at ramp 24 in Vegas on the 19th.

I was getting kind of worried because I didn't know exactly when the truck was going to arrive and rates jumped after the last Fed meeting and I figured they would jump again after the Fed meets this week (maybe by a whole point). I applied for a loan with Lightstream because they advertised a low rate but didn't realize the loan was unsecured until after I applied (I did it based on a recommendation and didn't look that carefully). The rate wasn't great (4.5% for 84 months) but rather than apply again for another credit inquiry I figured I'd just go with them and look to refinancing the truck later when/if rates come down. The upside is that now the funds are already in my account so it's not so stressful waiting for the truck to arrive and I can just pay for it whenever it does.

that's exactly what my guy told me earlier in week too, was in vegas on 19th, no update since, and then arrived at dealer today.

I've got 2.65% right now for 48 months (putting $33K down), just need to truck by August 23rd to maintain that rate I usually just take whatever financing they offer and pay off cars the next day. But, today's climate makes more sense have that cash around.

Might try to see if they let me sign for everything in advance as my Wife will be out of town for pretty much all of next week +, and I need her name on the Truck to claim CVRP.

Whelp dealer said it was a no go to sign anything before the Truck arrives

@gorwell You got an EV already this year so you need her to file for the CVRP?

Yah, sold my e-golf @ its peak value earlier this year and upgraded to an Ioniq5.

Should have submitted the ioniq5 in my wife's name for CVRP but I wasn't thinking. Now, I'm tied to her availability to pick up the truck.

Each individual in a household can claim CVRP. One per person. I did claim it for the Egolf back in 2019 before they restricted it to one per person. Got lucky they allow for 1 more if you purchased before ~Dec 2019.
