It's weird that we haven't seen any social media posts from dealers or customers who have received deliveries. I would expect that at least some of the trucks being shipped via convoy would have been delivered by now, unless they're exclusively heading to Honolulu or Juneau.
they tried to ship some by truck to Honolulu, but it turns out the bridge hasn't been finished yet, so now they are at the bottom of the ocean. sucks to lose them when there's so few out there but lessons have been learned.

I tracked the rail car from Farley's video again, tonight is was in Lomax, IL. So, from Sunday night to tonight it only went from IN to IL. Wherever it's headed it's getting there very slowly.
🎶Lightning Junction, what's your function?
Moving trucks very slowly🎶

I have confidence that within Hours someone on this Forum will post News of the Sighting (Hopefully with Photo) of the First Lightning arriving at a Dealership. There are many Skilled Detectives scouring Trackers and Databases (I won't Name You but we Know Who You Are ;) ) Hourly and Daily.

It would be Helpful if You Really Believe one is out there (Do Not Totally Believe Dealer Ads) that you post a Suspect VIN# or better yet, a Window Sticker.

As of Today (May 20th) it has been 26 Days since Ford CEO Jim Farley promised Delivery within Days. (APRIL 25TH)

As of Today (May 20th) it has been 6 Days since Ford CEO Jim Farley promised Deliveries are Underway. (MAY 16TH)

Maybe it is just me but you would think at least some of those trucks we saw loading would have reached a Dealer by Today. I checked many Dealerships in the State of Michigan (Within a 1 Day drive from Dearborn) and found Zero Authenticated Lightnings.

Where's Waldo and His Lightning?

If you See Him Please Post Pics of Him.

He is the One Driving the Transport Truck or Driving the Locomotive! 🤪

Maybe the truck that was loaded was "delivering" those Lightning's to an off site "Delivery Hold" storage yard that was beyond the Lightning's range? After all Farley's tweet didn't specify any details other than it was a "Spring Delivery".

The car carrier truck that was being loaded looked like a local truck that should be delivering within a couple hundred miles of Dearborn. If that loaded truck actually left the loading area with the Lightning's they should have arrived on Monday or Tuesday.

The "loading up the Lighting" videos are starting to remind me of this classic (although I have more faith that North Korea actually launched something, LOL):

If your order reached your dealer, how many days(err..minutes) is it going to sit on their lot?

LOL, If my truck arrives before June 15th, I'll buy some cheap sunglasses, a KJU wig and make the same damn video on my dealers lot.

Would be cool if Marketing runs a new version of this when the first batches of trucks leave the Rouge since the plant expansion.
