Although Blue Mule should have All Terrain tires (275/65R18), it is shod with Michelin Primacy All Season tires. Okay by me, I don't offroad. 😎

EDIT: In the daylight, I see the Michelin Primacy XC are All Terrain - but I'd never take that tread pattern onto anything rougher than a gravel road. :ROFLMAO:

I've got a steep learning curve on the GUI for the Lightning after driving the Mach E - several subtle differences and some fine details. This morning, I went through the screens behind the steering wheel - I like most of the choices. I was surprised to see a little battery icon with an arrow pointed left showing which side of the truck the charge port is. :ROFLMAO:

Are there any negative side effects to signing up for fordpass and linking my truck before I actually take delivery of it?

Yes, multiple people on this forum (and my dealer confirmed) there could be headaches if you do that. I wouldn't.

It requires someone to be in the vehicle to acknowledge and accept the request.

I'm guessing that sudden surge of deliveries right after ford announced the production and shipping halt was all there is. I was gaining hope that I might be getting my truck in that surge but it looks like the post-halt surge is over.

Now, it's hurry up and wait. Ford is supposed to update us by the end of this week. Hopefully they will say that they can restart production and shipping. I'm sure some of Ford's investors are also waiting for an update with the hundreds of millions that is invested in their EV program.

It was every 3 days... now, Ford moves my delivery ETA back every 2 days. Never a shipped date... only pushbacks for almost a month now. :confused:

I hope all industrial espionage stuff doesn't slow things down even more. Would really love them to give the all clear Friday, and let us pick up our trucks that have been sitting some weeks now.

Hi all. Long time lurker, here.

I received an unexpected call on Friday from my local dealer that my Lightning had arrived onsite. According to the sales guy, "it had been determined that the vehicle was not affected by the battery issue." Of course he's in sales, so take that with a grain of salt.

But maybe some of the in-transit vehicles are starting to move again?

My stats, if they're useful towards solving the mystery:

Trim: Platinum
Blend date: 1/15
Shipped date: 2/1
Last known whereabouts prior to stop ship announcement: arrived in railyard in Markham, IL on 2/9
Delivered to dealership (Iowa): 2/24

That's really good to hear! My truck also arrived at the railyard on 2/9, had a production date of 1/15 and a built date of 1/23.

My future truck has been parked in a lot 11 miles from my dealership for 20 days now.

This morning, I asked Ford Chat if the stop ship order has been lifted on my truck and they told me it has not.

This is definitely a patience builder.
