✅ 6/13 Lightning Build Week Group

[millim]

Or being a Cybertruck reservation holder wondering when..if ever..that thing will see the light of day..

And also how many promises Elon will break if it does ever get produced....

I actually have a sub 3k RN number on the Cybertruck (did it the moment the url went up during the event) and have emotionally written it off.

Thats a smart move....Elon has moved onto bigger and better things like Twitter...and Robots....

I decided the extra hoops for a private sale wasn't worth my time. Just want someone to pick it up and give me cash.

From all the car sites, I had my 2017 cx5 with 21k miles priced from 15-23k but it came down to carvana or driveway, both pick up and pay on the spot.

Driveway is slow, but was over 1k above carvana. All reviews say they are slow, but they eventually come get it.

I'm selling now as I assume as summer goes by, prices will decline.

Use incognito mode and hit up Carvana every 3 days. Every time a car like it is bought or sold it updates. They kept offering $56k for my ICE F150 , finally hit in on a day for $61.5k.

It's really simple. I ordered on 2/3 and msrp was 79.9k, when my window sticker generated a few weeks ago it's now over $80.1k. My cost went up after I secured my order. When I ordered On 2/3 all features were available and still to this day they advertise everything and yet they removed half the ambient lightning and no verification park assist stayed when it was removed from the ICE F150 and Mach E.

I don't know what your obsession is with reservation date data but i'm using what i ordered and is on the order sheet vs what I'll receive.

And "scheduled for production week of 6/13" with a hard blend date of 6/18 isn't a promised date? Then why even have dates at all

The price increase is for the destination charge. Your dealer should not be passing that on to you as your order was price protected and the dealer can get reimbursement from Ford.

With respect to the park assist, just because it has been removed from one or more other models does not mean that the Lightning is automatically affected. If it has been deleted, I would expect a sticker to reflect a price credit for the deletion (something that I have seen on other Monroey labels). A check of your label should indicate if there is a credit for the park assist delete on your truck.
My understanding is that if a vehicle was already scheduled when the commodity constraint occurred, it would only affect vehicles that had not yet been scheduled for production. Since your blend date was two days ago, my expectation is that you were scheduled for this week at least a month ago. If you have any questions, I would suggest that you talk to your dealer for official information. If they do not know the answer, they can reach out to their Ford rep (who can run your questions up the flag pole).

They literally still advertise it today. And I've confirmed with multiple deliveries it's missing out of every "premium" spot mentioned.

You know that almost all manufacturers have language in their literature that options and specifications are subject to change at any time. This has been the case for years.

That's great. They made the decision 3 months ago, why is it still advertised then?

Look closely for the words 'computer-generated image' quickly followed by ' Images may not necessarily represent the configurable options selected or available on the vehicle or the models shown'.

If this is such a deal-breaker or heartburn for you, why don't you help out the entire Ford customer base and tell Ford you are canceling your order because they don't have ambient lighting in ALL the places shown in their marketing images! Maybe those behind you will get upgraded ambient lighting due to you taking a stand

Don't forget to include that $100 increase on a $79k truck that you won't have to pay anyway as another reason to cancel your order ? I would rather see a dealership being able to add ADM on your canceled order vs listening to you to continue to complain about such minor qualms on marketing material.

You keep bring that up like it's supposed to be a slam. Being charged more for less product shouldn't matter at $$79 or $79k.

This ain't even your production week so if you don't wanna listen then leave. All I did was point out less features that I liked, ya'll didn't have to chime in like b******.

It has been stated on MANY threads that you won't have to pay the $100, yet you still complain about it showing up on your order. How many times have you posted complaining about the reduction in ambient lighting like the original images are what was promised to you?

You implied it was such a ripoff...since you are in SATX, I'm hoping you do cancel over such trivial matters so my company can buy your vehicle at the markup for testing.

And I read just about all threads looking for where I can help (actual battery information since that is what I do) but your incessant complaining about such trivial matters unleashed the sarcasm streak in me and you keep feeding it.

 

[DrZoidberg]

I'm sorry I offended you and took you from your safe space. Forgive me for buying an early retirement present for doing it 30 years early. Sorry I'm disappointed I find they dropped some of the features I actually enjoy .

Never nagged. I posted a few times and then asked folks who actually had it in possession to verify. Ya'll rebuttals are more bitching.

I think my original reply to your response was harsh and not called for, but you may want to rethink how you are coming across here.

It took a month from start to finish with driveway, but if you can do it, DO It! Made so much more through them on my Tacoma. Super easy process, just takes a long time.

But please let me know which dealership you chose in San Antonio so I can keep watch on an abandoned order for my company to pick up.

Did the honor their original online bid? Or did they try and nickel and dime you or give you more after seeing the car in person?

I come across as let down I didn't get a cool feature I was looking forward to. It's not a deal breaker. What will be a deal breaker is if it doesn't have park assist. But I think it does if my research is right. I can drive it fine but we're a one car family and I need the park assist for the wife because she can't park for beans.
