The mod popping supervisor is back from vacation! He’s got a big backlog to catch up on.

I swore that I wouldn't check again today...I did...no Tear Tag. I'm going to see a therapist.

I checked 10 times in a row so I wouldn't have to check for the rest of the day.

I've made up for it - I'm probably up to 20 times now, spread throughout the day. @TaxmanHog I know after dinner would be better, but it isn't that easy. We need to know.

If it helps my modules popped but no tear tag yet.

Sorry guys the only logical conclusion is that the entire team has been focused on building my truck for about two weeks, as close to Lightning perfection as they're able to get.

Still nothing on my 5/25 build, but I am happy to see multiple people are starting to get their trucks earlier than expected.

Today I applied for a loan against my paid off 2020 Expedition Stealth to lock in an interest rate of 3% for a large portion of my truck (I'll use cash for the rest) just in case the rates shoot up before it arrives. I have 30 days to close the loan, and if by some miracle my truck will be in before that, I can apply again for a new car loan instead. Figured it was good insurance in these uncertain rate times.

I applied for my loan at my CU today as well, Texans Credit Union. They will lock for 30 days. Their rates are updated every Monday. I don't see them doing anything but going up. With them I've got 2.79% for 72 months at this point. I will look at a few other places to see if I can find anything cheaper, but they beat the other 4 I've checked so far.

I used the new truck for the vehicle to be financed. They didn't have to have it just yet, but since I have the VIN it's just about all done. They just need a couple of signed docs from the dealership once it arrives. Approved and ready to go.

If we truly don't have any kind of production problems I'm still thinking the truck should be here by the 24th at the latest. I can at least wish.

I’m still planning on mid-July. I’ll see if i can lock in a loan in a few weeks.

Hey I just checked and part of my Mods have loaded. Blend date 5/23 87/470. Im not sure what the Mods mean but I'm happy I finally see something.

 

[LightningShow]

It means they’re doing donuts in the parking lot with your truck.

HOLY SHI*BALLZ - THEY ARE ALIVE. I have truly checked probably 20 times today and the last just about 45 minutes ago. I go to check after @davidf01 and hell yeah - I have modules too. No tear tag yet, but I'll take it. This gives me great hope. FordPass still doesn't think it is alive, but this is great news.

I was a May 24 build, number 118/470.
