Absolute best thing thing for your mental heath is to assume you won’t see it until spring, forget about it and be pleasantly surprised when it arrives in December.

Man, Tom Petty was right, the waiting is the hardest part. When I finally shipped I was so excited, only for it to move a scant 200 miles or so before freezing for a week (and counting) in Blue Island. The railcar number Ford chat begrudgingly shared has proven to be worthless as despite...

Mines been sitting there for more than a week now. Dealer is telling me to expect to miss my delivery window (went through 10/20 then revised through tomorrow) by three weeks or more.

I’m 9/25 build week (though not built until 10/10). 12 days later and per my dealer it’s moved approx 220 miles to IL. With 2200 more to go, it’ll be here approx. February 22, 2024 at this rate. I deeply DEEPLY envy folks who are getting their trucks within 6-7 days ship.

12 days from shipped to arrival on the west coast? Encouraging for my 10/16 ship date (though as of this morning it hasn’t actually moved yet) to Northern California.

Tracking was “updated” at some point today but rail car reportedly hasn’t moved. Wonder what the update was.

Patience is NOT my forte. I’ve always been an off the lot, “eh this color is close enough” vehicle buyer. This is next level for me.

“Shipped” on Monday, but still sitting at the rail yard. @Ford Motor Company there’s gotta be a better way. I’m dying here.

Mine showed the day after “built” status. Still a dealer fix as I understand it.

Order update: Order: 8/18 Confirmed: 8/21 Build Week: 9/25 Blend Date: 9/26 In Production: 10/2 Build: 10/10 Shipped: 10/16 Rail Car: TTGX996727 Estimated Arrival: 10/11 - 10/24 (updated today from 10/14 - 10/20, padding on the front end with days already passed is a bold move) Found...

is this the Delorean forum?

10/10 build date switched back to “order confirmed” within the last hour. “shipped” imminent?

Seems very much like just a mistake to me. Every other source has $1500 for XLT.

I think this is where much of my frustration is coming from. I may be wrong but I feel like direct customer orders should be prioritized over dealer stock and I’m seeing more and more of these stories of comparable cars showing up at available dealerships while I’ve got probably another 6 weeks...

Isn’t the $7500 for Lariat and Platinum, with the XLT discount at $1500?

@TaxmanHog Statistically speaking, you got any sort of median from built to shipped? Seems trucks sit for an unreasonably long time before going anywhere.

Very zen. I’m not there yet. :-)

So….what are the right questions to ask Ford Chat? I’m 0-4 in getting anything useful out of them and get no information I don’t already see at shop.ford (and 3 of 4 times got nothing more than being pointed there).

I’m about to take delivery on a Lightning XLT and am hoping to find a good wireless phone charging solution. Any recommendations?

Many hours later someone declined my activation request. I’m going to take that as only a good sign with someone in the truck, I’ll assume getting it on the train.
