Train ride to SoCal

[Avocadodude]

Anyone noticing if BNSF is running trucks again or is it still UP? Was curious if the embargo is still in effect.

Also finally saw a Lightning in the wild at an EA charger in Westminster. So they are out there

My truck is on UP. It's currently scheduled to arrive in San Diego on August 11th.

Has anyone in SoCal seen a Lightning while driving theirs? I have almost 2k miles in less than a month all over SanDiego/LA/OC/Riverside kind of thought I’d see one of my fellow new owners.

I have only seen mine

Im not sure what train my truck is on. I can see it on the Ford App gps as just about leaving Nebraska heading to Wyoming. It left Detroit a week ago.

Sounds like UP route. At least you can see it moving closer.

I finally saw one leaving a EA charging station in Westminster towing a tractor as I was trying to figure out how to get out of their way

Have you got an idea where it is now? How far away?

I don't know how to get that level of detail. I've been calling the Union Pacific automatic trace phone number.

@dirtdiver is one of the lucky ones that got someone to accept the Ford Pass requests so he has real time tracking. I never got to see the real time, my activation request was denied, denied, denied and I finally gave up.

I see. Mine appears to be on a UP train and is in Nebraska. I have good info on exactly where it is- what I dont have is when will it get to San Diego. I was hoping that you could verify that we were on the same train. ;-)

Too much work after all the beers I've drank, but imagine a Rick Roll gif or video in this post.

Beware of dealer added fluff/junk/accessories.

Some dealers that say no ADM will add on dealer installed stuff that inflates your price.

Like nitrogen tire fills, protection packages, plastic strips for the door handle, and cheap $0.99 door edge guards = $5,000 !

Best to visit the dealership, take a look at their new cars on the lot and see if there are additional junk added on.

That is great advice!
