glad it's not just me!

I am super jealous you have more information that me
If only I could get my railcar info from the dealer, I would be obsessing over google maps.

Keep the updates coming, I need to live vicariously for now.

I will keep the updated coming. It's kind of fun actually. I feel like a detective, which isn't how it should be IMO. Ford should definitely work on their tracking if this is a "new norm" for the car buying process.

Pizza tracker is asking for a valid VIN or Ford order number, but back door is unchanged. I assume I should get some type of update email this coming Thursday correct? That's when Ford usually sends emails out or am I wrong?

What do you all think of tire covers? I saved this picture at some point to mull over (my build's exact trim/color/equipment), so I can't credit the owner... but I am torn. Would like a big bucking bronco horsey on the back.. but I also tend to think the bare tire looks better.

What do you all think/prefer?

Honestly, that might be good for you! It seemed every time there was a hiccup in the tracker for me, I had an update coming. For y'all!

Just tried pizza tracker and it keeps giving me "the session has expired" and won't work. I'm going to try to restart my phone and see if that works

Same thing for me.

@Alvin Olson I was going to tell you the same thing . Don't hold out on the updates once you do get your railcar info. I will be using your updates as a guide for my Broncos shipping progress

My Mods have now popped! Will update spreadsheet in a moment.

I can’t access any of my trackers right now.

Personally, I like the bare tire. However I feel that probably with SAS package only. The one pictured has street tires, and it is more of a wash for me.

Hopefully, none of us will experience surprise ADM at time of delivery. But if we do, there is Para.6 of the Service and Sales Agreement between Ford and Dealers that we can have in our back pocket. This article describes Ford cracking down on greedy dealerships taking advantage of Ford Lightening reservation holders. It is a good read:

EDIT: thnx to @AbeFroman
You can even bring a printed copy of this agreement with you!

Just a quick update. I am now having the same invalid vin just like everyone else..

 

[Cat]

Same. So, as best as we can figure, "in production" takes at least a week. Blend date is when body meets frame, and that's at best in the middle. But after that, it takes a few shifts to finish building.

The mods and QA process is murky. But I am same boat as you. 1/5 Blend. 1/7 Produced Date which showed up this morning. Mods popped today.

All mods...or just the Body Chassis Electrical (BCE) ones? My PCMs have not populated yet.
