✅ 8/15/22 Lightning Build Week Group

[Weather Dawg]

System just must have been down this AM. It’s working for me now too. I have to lock in a new loan now so needed to send it along. @TaxmanHog do you know the average you’re seeing for chip holds?

Sorry, couldn't help myself That said, I have been on chip hold since 8/31.

I had to jump on a meeting. Called, transcribed to the best of what I could make out, posted it...

Just listened to it again. It's not awaiting departure, it's train departure. My bad.

Thanks @ResidualJinx using your format.

@CRAIGC540 -> this should be correct.
(9/16) Origin ramp: Flat Rock, MI
(9/16) Destination ramp: Unavailable
(9/16) Loaded train departure: 9/15 11am
(9/16) Est arrival: 9/17 7:40am

I got my Rail info yesterday, but it still gives me outdated info. Assuming the recycle the numbers and mine is not updated in the system yet. Anyone else with the same issue?
(9/15) Released from Industry 6/25 2:52pm
(9/15) Origin ramp: West Chicago

My delivery date is 9/25 that seems doable huh?
This is a first time to receive a single date and not a range.

Ford Chat indicated my truck was in Jessup, MD., about 50 miles away from me, but the new estimated delivery date is between now and 9/22/2022.

I also have heard the same message for a couple weeks. That it is still in IL.

Esimated delivery date hasn't changed still says 9/17, which I doubt.

Does your trace show something different? TTGX702283

Hello from team 7/25....my truck is on the same car. When I do the phone trace for Norfolk Southern, it says it departed Illinois on 9/9. But nothing since. It looks like only UP and BNSF come out west, and UP trace is obsolete info, so I'm guessing the car is with BNSF, which is the hardest to track.

My estimated delivery is 9/15 - 9/21

I stopped calling UP to trace the rail car because the first six days it was the same:

"released to industry 8/29. Loaded. Origin Benicia, CA. Ramp information not available"

I received the rail car number on 9/5 and called daily. I just called again now for the first time in a couple days and the only thing that has changed is that is is now 'empty on 9/16' instead of 'loaded'. Origin and ramp info is the same.

Ford chat said yesterday it was at junction point, Indiana harbor belt rr which looks like is bluisland. Same location chat said it was located on 09/5.......

If the rail company can't even track their rail cars accurately, not sure how we can expect Ford to do that......

Well that sounds about right because I read that the travel time is 6 to 7 days normally.

I read that the with the labor troubles, they started slowing auto transports on Wednesday night.

I have also read that one union has rejected the deal and 2 accepted so far. But wait unitl the 9/29th for a strike to allow the other locals to vote.

Hey guys if you want to look for your railcar Check out the Tehachapi loop live cams.
It's really busy with trains coming westbound. There's 3 cameras in 3 different locations.
There's a chat and they let you know when a Train is on the way.

Another day with no change of status except I was able to finally submit FordPass access request.

Hang in there man and remember the brightside, you could be still waiting to place an order.

 

[Sdgolfer]

My eta was yesterday(9/9-9/15), and I didn't even get an updated one. I guess my lightning is literally making a history. I'm just laughing at this point and not going to check every day.

Any change in eta? Pretty sure our trucks are sitting together lost

Appreciate it! I have a Colorado zr2 that was built 2 weeks ago coming from a Chevy bolt repurchase. Once one arrives I think I might be less anxious and can settle down

 

[Drayday55]

I had a 2018 diesel zr2 that Bob stall chevy ruined. Chevy ended up buying it back but that is one bad ass truck. I can't wait for the 2023 to come out. I may also pre order the new Desert boss. Totaly depends on how I like the lighting.

If you have never driven a zr2 be prepared to be amazed on how comfortable and solid that truck is.

Good to know and glad to hear. I haven’t driven one yet and couldn’t order a diesel bc they stopped the allocations. They released the 2023 after I ordered mine and the risk is the bolt gets a new battery before the 2023 get here. Plus I’m not sure if I want to own two first iteration trucks.

sucks bob stall ruined your truck. Assume they messed up some repair work but good to hear Chevy made it right

My status changed the day after I was finally able to submit ford pass (not accept it, just submit it). So hopefully movement for you tomorrow!
