Have you gotten your truck yet?
Who is your dealer? Mine will be going to Paso Robles Ford, and should go through Richmond (I believe).
I also got lucky (cursed) by someone accepting my FordPass app request and can see every movement. My truck just landed in a parking lot in Taylor, MI. What has the timeline/schedule looked like for you? I have road trip plans this summer that seemingly look like they won’t be happening in the new Lightning 😫.

Nope, mine hasn’t moved since Sunday when they moved in around the Richmond rail yard. No end in sight either. I’m almost wondering if Ford is intentionally delaying delivery to avoid the $500 Mastercard and 250 kWh offer they have until July 1st. I’m pretty disappointed to be honest. It took less time to cross the US than it has been sitting in Richmond.

So my truck made the run to Taylor MI as well. It was a few days prior to being loaded on the train.

No truck at dealer and activation still pending. 🤷‍♂️ Apparently struggling to get transport drivers. I volunteered.

I doubt they are doing it on purpose to avoid the $500. There is a shit ton of cars waiting for transport.

Probably not enough truck transport drivers since the pandemic...

Maybe down there but there seems to be a steady amount of movement in Richmond up north. Tesla also has no trouble securing transporters, but they also are the local “giant” so I’m sure they plays too. Toyotas and Hondas are moving as well, but they also arrive via ship and have a smaller storage lot. I’m really thinking there is some silent hold on these trucks. It’s anecdotal at best, I admit…but…none of us have trucks yet either.

Doesn’t Ford pay for storage at these Railyard? You would think they would want them out ASAP

Penske was trying to provide their own drivers to move the transports. Not sure if Ford or the dealer is paying the storage.

Cbad!!! Drove by Ken Grody Ford in Carlsbad this morning and saw Icy Blue Lightning sitting on the lot! My delivery window there opens 6/30.
Nice! I was there yesterday picking up the bedrug I ordered, was hoping to see someone’s lightning. Might I have to drive by and admire it (from a distance of course 😂).
