Just got my built email at 2am. Blend was 11/29, built 12/7. Delivery estimate is between 1/6 and 1/12. Convoy delivery method. Crossing my fingers it comes early during last week of the year.

I wish we can get a conclusive official statement from Ford because I do like the avalanche gray on the prior raptor as well as that reveal shot of the 23 raptor R.
But you also just said that Ford renamed cactus gray to fighter jet gray on the mustang, so they have a history of renaming...
I don't want to rain on anyone's parade here with this comment, but I also have an avalanche gray XLT on order (scheduled for 11/28 production). I placed my order in a rush and waffled between avalanche gray and stone gray metallic, ultimately choosing AG.
I called up some dealers on Friday...
I'll preface this by saying I haven't ridden in or recieved my lightning yet. Just basing the below on my research.
Lightning is the more practical and usable vehicle for probably 95% of people. I'd choose that over almost any other vehicle, even the bronco, because it's an EV with the utility...
I've been under the impression that the Lightning will still qualify for the 2023 federal tax ev rebate of $7500 as long as it's assembled in the USA and the sticker price is below $80K. Lariat and Platinums and some XLTs will be more than $80K and won't qualify.
I'm not sure what my priority...
I got an email at 1:43pm today saying "Your vehicle order has been updated."
Logged in and don't see anything different. Same as you. Could be we got prioritized or...de-prioritized. I'll give my dealer a call tomorrow and see if they know.
Thanks. I ordered an XLT. Wanted a pro at $40k but we all know those only went to the few lucky ones.
Honestly at $63k it's going to be a gametime decision whether I keep it or sell it back to the dealer.
Same price as my fully loaded bronco, a mach-e, the new cadillac lyric, and many other...
Order an XLT on 9/7, dealer texted same day to confirm the order. I texted back asking if they had a rough estimate of how long. They basically said that Ford only got them 5 lightnings so far and they have many times that in orders, so just sit tight. I waited two years for my bronco so didn't...
Adding another data point:
I live in Socal, specifically San Bernardino county, in a mountain town, for two years. Have experienced no less than 6 blackouts each of the past two summers and it doesn't seem to be getting any better. Also Temps are rising, even here in a snow town, summer temps...
Also forgot to mention I was a day 1 reservation for the lightning and selected the pro as my trim. Then my reservation got changed to an XLT like it did for mostly everyone else a few months back. The pro was unavailable when the option to order became available to me this afternoon so went...
I just placed an order for an avalanche XLT with the 9.6k pro power as the only option, left the $500 charging cord (not sure if this can be had cheaper from a 3rd party). Total was just shy of $63K.
What is this "scale delete" that was mentioned in a previous post?
Kind of bummed that the pro...
