So I was able to pick my truck up on Monday after my ski trip. Really happy so far, thing drives great, a lot smoother than my 2014 F250, go figure! Seems like I may have gotten it just in time!

Wow! To everyone who got their trucks delivered, did you ALL have SHIPPED status?
My status won't ever leave BUILT status.
BTW... Congratulations to everyone with successful deliveries.

Well I've had my truck a week now and no regrets, it was worth the 20+ months wait. I've named it "Seven". George Costanza would be proud.
Other than it not fitting in the garage I've had zero issues with it. I've worked my way through all of the menus and settings and I think I have a pretty good grasp on all of the technology.
So far I've charged it at home (solar), at an EA DC fast charger (plug & charge worked perfectly), and using an adapter at a Tesla destination charger. DC fast charging speed was respectable, 33 minutes to go from 20% to 81%. AC charging seems to max out at 10.5 kW.

Even with the shipping and production stoppage, Ford still keeps moving ETA back 3 days again.
No "SHIPPED" notice but i should expect it within 3 days... yeah ok. Ford doesn't even care about communicating with their customers.

I never got a shipped notice. Went straight from "your vehicle has been built" email to "complete your purchase".Even with the shipping and production stoppage, Ford still keeps moving ETA back 3 days again.

It is obvious the multi-channel communication system is out of sync - I received the Complete Purchase email overnight after my Dealership received my XLT yesterday morning while the online Order Tracking said the week of March 3! Today, the online Tracker has moved to Final Preparation.
Hang in there, if you know your Lightning is in a holding yard, there may be a nice surprise for you soon, like I got. The un-nice surprise is that some Ford Reps think the Price is not locked at the time of the Order Confirmation. I'll post how that goes later.

My dealer called to inform me delivery did happen yesterday. I asked for price breakdown. He will send tomorrow. I replied I will be by Saturday. Hopefully, price is when ordered and not new sticker MSRP.It is obvious the multi-channel communication system is out of sync - I received the Complete Purchase email overnight after my Dealership received my XLT yesterday morning while the online Order Tracking said the week of March 3!

You may have to push for the pricing at order confirmation - not all Ford Reps are up to speed. Search other threads for information. They have to get the pricing approved and then wait up to 45 days for Ford to credit the dealer.

Don’t know what to do. Decided to give up on my truck sitting at the plant. At a different dealer, just test drove a xlt ER mannequin after the drive tried to open the frunk and the truck bricked. 100% dead like the 12v battery is disconnected

That isn't instilling a ton of confidence. I'm just going to assume that everything that can go wrong will go wrong once my truck arrives. As long as I can get things fixed under warranty, I'm ok with that. I've wanted/needed a truck for years, but told myself that my next vehicle would be an EV. Since Ford is the first to market that's what I'll be driving, warts and all. Now I just need Ford to lift the stop shipment hold so I can take my truck home and start shaking it down.

Negative battery cable was loose. Tech touched it with a wrench and the truck powered up. On my way home,flawless so far. Fast charging right now at a EA station. Plug and charge worked perfectly. 62% charged now 121kw rate of charge.
