✅ 12/05 Lightning Build Week Group (MY2023)

[theblunden]

I have called the Norfolk southern phone line with the train car # and it was last updated 1/17 @4am (sounded like "PCO Port Wilmington"). No movement since then and still listed as "inactive" on United Road. Come on...just take it off the train already.

Mine sat on the train over 24hrs before they unloaded it at the final destination

Got my Pass Rewards today. A few days in, question for the group. Anything you would have ordered differently? Me I would have got the 312A package. I swear it was more than $5000 when I ordered.

Hard to say. I purposely didn’t choose any options because I was trying to have the lowest MSRP because I thought I was getting the NJ rebate. Ford never submitted the 2023 lightning (they did 2022) into the program so no rebate for me unless they hurry up and submit it !!

I do wish I had the 360 cameras but not sure that would be worth the $3k or whatever it cost since the tow tech and power package were necessary to get it. What package came with running boards? Maybe that package would be worth it to me since I have to buy them separate.

I was across the street from the dealership when I got this email. Doesn't that mean it's delivered? I circled around and it's no where to be seen.

The tracker database says it has landed!

Yes sir..... Good bye 2018 hello 2023

Just checked the tracker and it shows shows complete purchase. So I have texted my salesman to see what the status is at the dealer. Hopefully I can pick it up soon.

Just confirmed with my salesman the truck is at the dealer. I am planing to pick it up on Saturday after PDI and Detailing. Told him not to try to hard on the detailing as I live down a dirt road and across a stream ford so it going to be muddy before I even get it home. It will be a ranch work truck not a garage queen.

 

[theblunden]

I called my dealer and told them they have the truck. They offered me job. It is there.

Basically the same thing for me. I called my sales guy this morning to let them know it was there and he had to go check at their other lot and they still haven't been notified it was delivered by Ford as of 7pm tonight just a notice it was going to be Convoy'd soon (yesterday 1/18)

This production week has gone quiet from all the delivered trucks. I’m still stuck in Dearborn awaiting a shipped notification …What can i do to get out of ramp 59 purgatory?

Todays my day. It was dropped off to the dealer overnight.
Fingers crossed for no price games at the dealer.

I’m right there with you. Built 12/31/22….nothing since. Every chat they just update to a new delivery date range…but they say it hasn’t even shipped.

Blend Date 12/5, Shipped 12/22. Been sitting unloaded from the UP train at Roper yard in SLC since 1/4/23. Still no indication that it will move anytime soon. Dealer has no idea what's up... Delivery date keeps slipping one week at a time. Ugh...

Curious where you are located? I thought I saw at one point that within a certain distance from plant they might convoy instead of rail? Maybe waiting to get enough F150s going to same area? I’m located in Central Illinois. Probably too far for this scenario…but just spitballing. Maybe giving Ford too much credit?

Update: Got my Pro at the agreed price after price lock and private offer. Couldn't take it home yet because the bank I am using couldn't get everything processed yesterday before close of business, so have to wait until Monday. The agony!

Officially spoiled rotten. Picked up the ‘23 today. Now the office has two lightnings!
