Dfoisy- what made you want to choose the smoked quarts for your color choice? I'm torn on the color for mine.
I too got moved AND I am smoked quartz. For me, the color is the standout in terms of subtle and cool. I do like that it looks different under different light too.

Interesting. Iy looks unique in videos for sure. I probably need to go to a dealer lot and look at an ice f150 in SQ to get a better idea and see if it speaks to me. I'm leaning toward atlas blue, but not set on it. I'm looking for fun but unique I guess with my Lariat. I don't have one on order...yet, but when ford does reach out, I wanna be sure on color. Color part is hard. I wish ford made some new fresh colors for the lightning. Seems like the same color pallete for the most part.

Looking at the forum data, I wonder if they are juggling these builds to optimize the departure schedules on the long distance train loading (west coast, South, east coast) 5/30 & 6/6 have an even mix of PRO/XLT vs Lariat/Platinum's

I would guess it isthe system balancing out the schedule for available components as it starts to build out the blend dates and sequencing.

This is a new plant, building a new vehicle. As Ford ramps up production they are learning what works and what doesn’t work to build Lightnings in the most efficient manner.

An even mix of SR’s and ER’s during these two weeks may be a bit of catch up from not building SR’s initially

they certainly most-likely have done this 'scheduling' for a 100 years and now most certainly also have technology to optimize all the 'moving parts'... but, also, another point is that with Ford 'betting the farm' on this move to EVs, showing the public, AND their shareholders the sales and profits that will come with this can be in the mix - the MORE higher trim, higher cost units they can get shipped, and SOLD, will show up on their bottom line when the JULY 2nd Quarter P&L shows up on wallstreet and CNBC... that is going to be just the START of the rest of the year's EYEBALLS on FORD.

Here is the line up for the 5/30 build week, good luck!

I hope all the horse trading is done from last week and everyone gets a blend-day and window sticker, maybe as early as 18th Wednesday evening if recent history repeats but more likely 19th Thursday evening or Friday morning.

Let me know if you were moved out of the 5/30 club.

If the 5/30 build week is for around 500 Lightnings then with 25 units in the F150 forum order tracker that's 5% of the total production. I think that is a pretty good percentage to expect on the forum and sharing their data.

Still set for 5/30 on my Pro, carbonized gray w/ Tow tech, 9.6 kw Pro Power and Spray in Bed Liner. However, the ford vehicle order tracking site is no longer responding to my VIN and order. I've tried multiple devices and no luck getting on there today.

No stickers yet, of course it's still early, but I looked just in case......
