When does the torturous wait for actual Lightning deliveries end?

I'm so surprised we haven't at least heard of dealer demos arriving. I've been waiting to see one at a local dealership.

Signs hazy - try again later

There are several variables that I have not yet seen discussed.

One variable that might be holding up deliveries could be is how the customer will pay for their Lightning the day it arrives at the dealer. Nowhere has there been any leak about the final details of the Ford Options Financing Plan - not even in any internal documents. Perhaps because of the changing financial landscape they had to scramble at the last moment to change details and/or add incentives?

The other one could be the media reports about how easily it might be to hack into the Lightning's Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology (not just Phone As A Key). With so much new about Lightning's software perhaps they discovered other vulnerabilities at the last moment. Something like this would be super secret - hence no publicity.

Ford Options is already out there with interest rate and residual.

A hacking issue would also stop the Mach-E from being delivered.

I’m willing to bet the Trucks “loaded up” are still sitting in Michigan somewhere and where never really transported.

I thought another thread showed the train the trucks were on and it was identified to be a route to California. I know you can do it with ships, is it possible to track a train's movement? I'd think we'd be able to squash or confirm this guess for delays pretty quickly.

Can you share where the Ford Options rates are located ?

NOTE: Not my vehicle!

In a Friday tweet, one buyer noted that Ford sent the "built" e-mail and estimated delivery to him to be between May 30 and June 5.
