Keep you hopes up! My dealer called and my Lightning showed up this morning and is being unloaded from the transport truck! No notice from Ford. Bolt out of the Blue!

These are the kinds of things I need to hear!

Funny story, after my delivery date slipped (2/2-2/7) it was updated on the Ford site to 3/7-3/13. Last night I got an email from Ford notifying me that my delivery date had changed. Uh, Ford, I noticed when a week went by without delivery, you're a week late in letting people know! I've got not problems with delays or the growing pains of sorting out a new vehicles build quality, that is to be expected. I do take offense at the lack of communication and keeping customers in the dark, that is just poor management strategy.

Watch this effect pros more than other models

. At this point I'm just assuming it was my truck that has the issue.

Pro models being sent to the great state of Maine that is! We're in this together!

In case anyone wonders, the Ford site updated my delivery dates to 3/5 to 3/16 YESTERDAY! As others have noted: "What we've got here is a failure to communicate."

Hope you got the reference.

Dealer just emailed me saying truck arrived this morning and she'll be ready tonight! ETA still showing 2/28-3/6, which is so dumb.
