Hey @TruckVirgin welcome to the forum! If you change your color there is a chance there could be a change in the build date but if that happens, from my understanding it shouldn't be a big change. Some people there isn't a change and for some I've seen it's only a week or so.
Does changing the color affect the build date?
When I ordered my Lariat ER in May I debated between Oxford white and iced blue silver. I decided to go with Oxford white. Last week, my next door neighbor came home with a brand new white ICE F150. Even though my white truck will be way cooler than his white truck, I am now considering switching my order to iced blue silver. My dealer says this will probably push the build date back, which is currently the week of 8/8/22. Can anybody confirm if this is true, and if so, by how much could it delay the build date?

How do you change the color/options , once you ordered a truck? I didn't know you could even do that.Hey @TruckVirgin welcome to the forum!

You must contact your dealer and have them do it. It is reported some dealers won't change an order, but if you are not scheduled it is easy for them to do in their system. Takes 2 minutes.How do you change the color/options , once you ordered a truck? I didn't know you could even do that.
I contacted my dealer this morning and he changed the color to iced blue silver. So far I am not seeing any change to the scheduled production date on my order. Thanks for the info!Hey @TruckVirgin welcome to the forum!

@TruckVirgin was the Lightning the only new EV you pre-ordered or were there others to see which shows up first?
Just curious because I know of many that held reservations for a few different ones.

Nope, the Lightning was the only truck I reserved. Cybertruck was too unconventional for me and the bed of the Rivian was a little smaller than I was looking for.@TruckVirgin was the Lightning the only new EV you pre-ordered or were there others to see which shows up first?

I suspect changing my color (and trim level) changed my build date. It's the only explanation I have for my order on 2/3 to not get scheduled until 8/15 (and recently pushed forward to 8/1).
I’d guess it was more the trim level, especially if you went to anything that didn’t start with L or Platinum.I suspect changing my color (and trim level) changed my build date.
Nice! Glad to hear it worked out easily.I contacted my dealer this morning and he changed the color to iced blue silver. So far I am not seeing any change to the scheduled production date on my order. Thanks for the info!
Iced blue is the only way you can ICE an ICE vehicle!
I changed from an XLT to XLT Star White, then to Lariat, then to Lariat ER, and then to eventually smoked quartz metallic.I’d guess it was more the trim level, especially if you went to anything that didn’t start with L or Platinum.
