@asianman35 I'm with you, still in the lot awaiting transport. My estimated dates are 1/1-1/7... I keep checking with no update, hoping something changes in the next day or two.

Which lot? Find out there is ramp 5M in new Boston MI

I got the following update from Ford

If you call Union Pacific, does their automated assistant relay that estimated delivery date (01/09), also?

Union Pacific
1. Call UP at 1 800 877-5123
2. Follow phone prompts for Trace, Number of Equipment = 1
3. Say the railcar number complete and clearly. Example TTGX123456 all together
4. Listen for your update

is the cutoff for the tax credit limitations 3/31? or did they just say March in general?

My delivery date also slipped from 12/29/22 - 1/4/23 all the way to 1/28/23 - 2/3/23.

From what I understand, there isn't a firm date in March. I've read until March and the IRA rules will be clarified/applied sometime in March. This could be delayed further, too. If you take delivery in February, your purchase should absolutely qualify (assuming your order isn't above $80K MSRP and your household income is below threshold 150 single/300 joint).

Bummer to see so many delivery dates being pushed. I'm guessing a combination of chip holds and the holiday season delayed shipping out a couple weeks. Still holding out hope the month of January is still in play for a majority of our build week.

Koch33 ford in Easton PA have lightning pro in white being put up for sale tomorrow 9AM for just under 52k. First person there will get to claim it in case anyone is interested. I test drove it earlier December and look like it’s bare minimum with no add-on.

@BarryB that's too bad. It seems like it is taking about 3 weeks to get to California. Mine shipped 12/28 and is expected to arrive in Morgan Hill on 1/20. I'm impressed you got rail info from the chat. I tried Ford chat today to see if I could get an update and she told me that she doesn't have access to the rail information and just said my estimated delivery date was 1/21 and then directed me to my account on the Ford website. Is there another chat that everyone seems to be getting their info from?

I used the chat for the Mach e and had success with the rail equipment number but no such luck with lightning. It’s possible they just don’t have it right now as it haven’t been assigned yet. My order is still at ramp 5m new Boston MI moved from ramp 51 flat rock MI.

I am wondering is the ETA manually entered by someone or is it automatically generated by computer.
