I don't mind watching Bolts. There are connections, I am a big Stevie Y fan, and Martin St Louis went to UVM. #LGRW

We owe everything to Steve Y building this team. I was happy he went back home and you guys are building the team the right way. Watching Marty now coach the Habs, however, is going to take some getting used to.

This is great, but if you were tracking another year my delivering dealer it would tell a different story. 1FTVW1EL9NWG09038. Blend 7/16. In production 7/18. Built 8/29. Still not delivered.

I'm sure there are many more Lightnings in VT, and this one is now in transit as of a few hours ago!

BTW, my Auto Trader study that @rlbussard conducted over the summer has several trucks unknown special order makers and demo units that are stuck.

It was listed as shipped at the same time as mine. It actually had an earlier delivery time that has been extended multiple times. Seeing your list with may builds that are not yet delivered... Yikes.

That is odd, ordertrack.app is saying it shipped today

Still haven’t seen one in my home state. The only one i’ve seen, period, was on a road trip while at Hersheypark. Except for my dealer’s lot. They had their demo and another customer truck when i picked mine up.

I did a little cold weather endurance test tonight, heading down I495 and Mass-44 to Plymouth to see the Rock, a white Lightning passed me between Norton and South Easton, got off on Bay street exit., I flicked my beams, he/she flashed the break lights, kind of like bikers do putting out two fingers to the road...... cool

BTW, 100 miles round trip, starting 96%, cold cabin @45º, comfort level 70º

Leg one Home-Plymouth (stop to look a EA on Long Pond Road, nice setup, can accommodate a trailer on the opposite side of the station!!! Still "RUNNING" I headed back to EA Wrentham, 89 miles, then charged from 62% to 80%, added 26 kWh for a total cost of 3.94, but I earned $0.81 TOU credit, net cost including Mass sales tax $3.13.

Leg two EA to Home, 11 miles, home charging FCSP, 78% to 90% or 18 kWh per the meter @0.23 = $4.14

If I had returned to 96% grand total of trip energy cost would be $9.25 or 9.3 cents a mile, the old PSD would have cost $34.66

I did think I saw a Lightning on Rt-3 north near NH the other night. I could see a rear light bar on a truck (or SUV) up ahead but it was too far ahead of me (and it was dark) to be able to tell for sure.
