Activate vehicle before built?

I heard it was for sale for $75k cash

That sounds like a sweet deal - pictures or it didn't happen.

Well aware of that saga

That was a great distraction on a slow week. One of the top B6G threads I can remember. Nothing beats the guy that was test driving an early "Bronco", and had the internet on the edge of its seat.

Wow, that's better than I was going to pay, I'll jump on that! Heck, I might even be able to flip it for more!

I initiated the activation and had Granger complete the process for me once the FordPass app showed that the 42,000 points were pending activation. The points posted immediately after Granger activated and now I can track as it is shipped to CA.

The Ford employees aren't supposed to accept your activation request in the vehicle. So it is unlikely it will get activated. If someone does (they did with my Lightning) then you get to track it with the GPS tracker every time they move it. Most likely though your request will go unfulfilled and it will time out.

With my Lightning I got to see how many Ford parking lots it was parked in. (mine was in three different lots in Dearborn for two months before it shipped to me). I knew the state of charge and odometer readings. I could tell when it got put on the train (looked like someone parked it on the railroad tracks). I also saw it get offloaded into the railyard, when it got loaded onto a truck and when it arrives at my dealer. I texted my salesperson that my Lightning was there while she was outside taking a picture of it being unloaded for me.

I was never inclined to play with the remote locking and unlocking of the Lightning because I never knew what state it was in (locked or unlocked).

It was just about as maddening to know where it was (Lightning) as it was to not know (Bronco). Although my Bronco shipped much quicker than the Lightning.

Did your warranty begin upon activation?
