Has anyone in SoCal seen a Lightning while driving theirs? I have almost 2k miles in less than a month all over SanDiego/LA/OC/Riverside kind of thought I’d see one of my fellow new owners. 🤣
None, I'm at 1800 miles also lol......

Congrats!!!!

Couple of things I recommend:

- Give them time for full prep, which looks like it should be done perfect since you are waiting until Monday

- Inspect the truck while they are making you wait for finance

- Don’t forget about your $500 deposit

- $750 Fuel Rewards

- Enjoy the ride home
Thanks for the tips!
I will make sure to check the truck out for any shipping damages.
Have my list of credits/deposits printed out.

Just got the US Ford tracker updating a day later than the Canadian tracker.

In my case, there's also a $100 reservation deposit. (Total $600)

Is the $750 the California state program?
Yes, it's only for CA residents.
Most dealers participate which means you get an immediate POS credit and the dealer gets paid later.

That’s awesome! Congratulations!!! Was trying to finish the off grid charging system today. Made a BoozeBrothers run instead because it was too dam humid today😂

Amazing feat by Ford - 29 days from production to delivery !
Most of the time was in a railcar.
Delivery ETA date was spot on (7/22-7/28) - dealer received in 7/23.

Here she is getting her first charge at home:

Ha - I don't really need any of that I don't haul anything and living in the urban jungle, don't ever get muddy shoes...

What I do need is a tent camper like the one from TFL to Alaska.

So cool to only weigh 400 lbs.

I would love it for my trips to fish the western rivers.

The first thing I would do is to change the floor mats. Carpet get dirty easily.
