So my truck has been at my dealership since 1/15. They are still trying to figure out my purchase price. I'm the first person to use the ev tax credit before purchase for them and they had to contact the IRS and figure everything out. I believe they got it worked out but they did say they aren't...
Well, I received an email today from Ford saying my lightning has arrived and is in final preparations. My sales guy is gonna walk the lot here soon to see if it was dropped off over the weekend. Though the weather is -36 degrees outside with the wind. So he's in no rush. Gotta get this...
I stand corrected. As of this morning. Someone updated my build page. It finally says built.
Here is my question. Will my truck come with the NACS charging cable? I mean it's still sitting st their lot and they said all electric vehicles in January 2024 will have the Tesla charging station...
I'm told it's built. Nothing updated on ford since September. Shipping can't confirm or if it's just hanging out in their lot. It's a Lariat-ER no spray bed liner. Looked into local inventory. But honestly South Dakota isn't the most EV welcoming state and they have had like 1 lightning on their...
I dare say I'm climbing my way up to 2023 charts. Still nothing on my lightning. Though my dealer told me it was ready to ship 3 weeks ago.... and ford told me that 7 weeks ago....
Gotcha. Ya called Ford today. They said it's been released to carrier and just sitting in Michigan waiting to be picked up. They said there is an update that is pending on my account.
Getting closer, it's disheartening seeing later build dates getting their trucks delivered already. Thankfully...
Well did get in touch with them. They said the truck is built. Though on the site it hasn't been updated since 9/8. It's expecting to ship 11/8.
The reason this was important to me is the timeline of my flight back to the dealership location and only being there for 3 days. If the truck...
Seems everyone is getting results.
Taxman u got any info on what's going on with mine. Plan on calling them tomorrow since the email system they use no longer works anymore.
Congrats. I see your build week was 8/14. I'm still waiting for any update on mine. Hopefully since I'm 8/21 it'll be done and shipped before I fly back to pick up the truck that I expect to be at the dealership when I arrive in 30 days.
When I spoke with my dealership and shopped around because I'm not using one near me. They told me they do honor the xplan along with any additional discounts. Now again that's up to the dealership themselves. But I got mine in writing saying they will honor it.
That is great to hear. Because I was gonna hate knowing I'm missing out on a huge cash rebate because of the delay.
There isn't anything about the 2024 models that excite me about them. Same battery. Some minor exterior changes. Really until a new model with a battery that's 2x as large or...
I got an email from Ford. But it was the we apologize for the delay as they are just as frustrated as I must be.
My dealership reached out to me saying my truck is delayed because of the chip shortage. Not sure if that accurate or not.
But then they offered me another lariat lightning 2022...
Reached out to my dealership. They said we can finalize all paperwork remotely and they will be willing to work with me. For them they gave the option of putting it in doors in the show room. Yes it means people will sit it in and touch it. I'm not to worried about that. No different than you...
Mine still says in production. No bed liner options. Anyone know without telling me to ask the dealership. How long can they hold onto my reservation on their lot before I have to pick it up after if finally gets delivered?
