denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance
These are the stages I have gone through in the last 4 days.
Ive finally accepted the fact that it is perfectly OK for my truck to sit less than 50 miles from my dealer for a couple of weeks. It does not matter that I reserved it in May of last year. It does not matter that I ordered it 8 months ago. It does not matter if a a hell storm dents it up. It does not matter if it is stolen from the rail yard. It does not matter if it gets wrecked while they are playing a giant game of checkers with all the vehicles at the rail yard.
I am good with it all.

Welcome my friend to the final stage. I have been waiting for you for several days now. Shall we sit back and crack open a beer?

I saw this as well and was so confused do you have any insight?

It makes zero sense to me. When going through the workshop manual I found several mistakes and I was only in one section.
I think some of this stuff was left over from development phase. Such as the workshop stating that the secondary drive unit can be added for customers wanting the capabilities of four wheel drive. Well that as an option was scrapped early on per Linda Zhang and Jim Farley when they decided they need more powerful drive units to compete with ICE f150 power levels. Who knows how all this stuff gets messed up. I dont even think Allison makes the drive unit. Maintenance guide also call for changing auto trans fluid and filter.
The drive unit is designed to behave like an automatic by providing the "creep" function that several people have mentioned.
From the manual..
The electric drive system delivers torque to the wheels to mimic a normal automatic transmission vehicle. This includes application of creep torque at low vehicle speeds with no accelerator pedal input and application of light negative torque (braking torque) at higher vehicle speeds when accelerator pedal is released. The maximum creep speed in forward or reverse direction is about 6 km/h (4mph).

I think the United Road tracker is broken. My truck still isn't scheduled. Broken, definitely broken right?

Its broken so that we are the last of our build week to get our trucks. We got the early goodies such as baby photos while other were still in production. Now they get late goodies and we get the leftovers.

Oxymoron?

A nice dark lager would be nice.

We have that when the trucks get here.

For $40,000 you can pick up a 80” tv for your bed, an Xbox, a wireless controller, and a driver for you while you play games

Hmmm.. Since I ordered the optional driver all i need is the equipment.
I just thought of something. Since we dont get our trucks tomorrow that means we get to post in the Disappointment Thursday.

I think I’m past disappointment. I called my dealer today and we had a heart to heart. We set a delivery date, they promised not to sell it on me. It’s weird but somehow having a set delivery date made it all better.

I know what your saying but it sucks watching transporters bringing us vehicles and not seeing mine on one of them. I am to the point I am fully expecting another week or so. When it does arrive I get to be surprised I guess. Salesman are taunting me daily about every customer they have had that had to wait 3-4 or even 6 weeks.

I see I’m not the only one stuck at BNSF Blue Island, IL wonder how long the dark hole will be?
