✅ 5/23 Lightning Build Week Group

[LightningShow]

Mine has been there for a week and a half, hopefully you have better luck than I. My ramp is CA8F.

Mine is CA8F as well. I assume that’s the CSX terminal in Spencer, MA. Have you checked you status on United Road?

Hold that train, I'm designated for CA8F too, but still lacking a SHIPPED status ....... the wait continues

I have, I have an inactive record with them. So it’s not there yet…

well my estimated delivery was 7/15 to 7/21. My truck is no where to be seen. Dont count on your estimated delivery date.

Finally brought her home, the ride is amazing, the acceleration is a bit unsettling for something so big and...less controllable than my Tesla under acceleration. I didn't let the dealership do the detail, I'll take care of that myself.

Wow! Congratulations! That’s Definitely a fantastic looking truck! Is it smoked quartz? How do you intend to handle the detail? Are you planning on some sort of ceramic coating?

For the fellow "don't clean it" crew, you have a lot of work ahead of you. Mine is black so it may have been worse case scenario.

• Two baths with the foamer and power washer
• Re-foam and a two bucket method sponge bath.
• Clay bar EVERYWHERE. Hood 2-3 times.
• Finally, I gave a complete Adam's Advanced Graphene Ceramic spray coating.

Probably have 8 hours into it but no swirl or brush marks.

So happy more of you are getting your vehicles!

Smoked quartz with 2 bucket wash so far, thankfully it’s not @KniceHit’s Agate Black, but looking much better.

Man - no joke. You've got it looking good.

I planned to be at this stage by now, but with 102 to 109 heat in TX I haven't been able to tackle it yet. If I have to let it slide a month or two I may. I've given it a bath with a pressure washer and it looks clean compared to most trucks on the road, but dang these things are dirty from sitting and then the trip down the rails. I know I've got as many hours as you did ahead of me, but it is worth it to not have the dealers crappy car wash mar the paint before I ever get it.

I've got my clay and Gyeon Quartz, just need a little break from the heat.

Ha mid 80s for @KniceHit and myself this week. Hot for us, but livable if you’re working in the garage.

Sign, sealed and delivered...240 miles home for its first road trip, 2.1 mi/kWh from Virginia to Pennsylvania. I hope the rest of my fellow 5/23 can get to enjoy it sooner than later...

I found another sticker in my truck. This one was for my VIN. It was on the upper back part of the rear seat. This has to be another key on which parts were delayed for our trucks and took rework. The date on this sticker is June 2, which is 10 days after my blend date.
