FYI, I was rather blown away when I got a phone call from my dealer yesterday telling me that my Lightning is at the dealership. I had a blend date of 7/21 and a delivery to the dealer of 8/8. That's ~18 days. I have no idea if it travelled the whole way by truck or if it rode a train to a...

I live in central New York, about a 7 hour drive through Canada from Rouge (8 hours if you take the route around the south side of Lake Erie). I'm not sure which VIN you have for me but I'll know tomorrow if what they have is, in fact, my truck ?

Well, I'll be a monkey's uncle.... I just got a voicemail from my dealership (Romano Ford in Fayetteville, NY) telling me that my Lightning has arrived. I'm so mentally unprepared for this moment given how much longer others' seem to have taken to get delivered (I'm not even 3 weeks past my...

In my daily checking on my account, yesterday I saw there was a change in status. It is no longer in production! This morning I got the email from Ford indicating that my Lightning has been built. It is laughable that it is saying that the anticipated delivery to my dealer is 8/4 - 8/10...

Congrats on the delivery! Still waiting to see one in the wild. My dealer has one that they are not letting out for test drives but I pestered them enough that they will let me get a test drive in once I have a ship date on mine. I'm hoping that happens in about a week or two. Enjoy the new...

@metroshot , it was that exact thread about the customer satisfaction survey that got me thinking about this. I figure the more we know what people feel like they wish they'd known going in, the better prepared the rest of us can be. I appreciate the specific guidance in the other points. It...

This forum has been immensely helpful to me over the past 14+ months from reservation to build to near future delivery and I'm hoping to tap into the collective intelligence for advice again. I believe I am about 5 or 6 weeks away from my truck being delivered to my dealer so I would like to...

Just checked again and the Tear Tag is now there. 1 baby step at a time....

I do not recommend engaging in fraud or any other law-breaking act, but if your friend treats the cash you are giving them as a "gift" which they choose to use on the truck and then turns around and sells the truck to you for $1, you would only have to pay tax on the sale price (the $1), right...

My modules have popped but no tear tag yet. I'll keep checking day by day. Currently still showing "In production" with a date of 7/22/22.

Blend date of 7/21 here. Super stoked. @TaxmanHog, my last 6 VIN is: G11064. I got confirmation today from my dealer that they'll arrange for me to get a test drive once they've confirmed mine has rolled off the line. I'm remaining a bit cynical and expecting my date to change again to...

Still trying to talk my way into a test drive, but the mannequin has been confirmed.... Much nicer interior than my 2018 'XLT (duh!). Really looking forward to being able to actually drive one soon.

Rumor has it that Romano Ford in Fayetteville, NY just got a Rapid Red Lariat ER. I'll be going to check it out later today and will confirm. I was told that they are not allowing test drives as someone already dinged up one of the handles but I'll see if I can sweet talk them into a little...

I am sure some of you in Ulster and Dutchess Counties may be conflicted about if you should comment here or in the NYC thread. You're welcome in both as far as I'm concerned! Let's be real, it's not like anyone is kicking anyone else out just because of where they live. Anyways, I felt like...

I included them in my order. Should be in production next week. I kind of assumed that the WeatherTech's would fit since the Lightning is so similar to the ICE F-150's, but I didn't want to run the risk of the first gen Lightning not mating with aftermarket accessories right out of the gate.
