Hello everyone. I’ve owned a Tesla Model 3 since 11/18 & have been waiting for a quality electric truck to replace our Lincoln MKZ Hybrid, after which we will no longer have an ICE in our family. I ordered on 5/21/21 and place my order on 2/3/22 for a AntiMatter blue Lariat with extended range battery and tow package. I see a bunch of other folks have their production dates, I hope to get mine soon. (fingers crossed).
looking forward to driving sustainably into the future.

Welcome. You should get a build date soon.

Welcome. You should get a build date soon.

I hope you are correct. Thanks!

Welcome to the forum @MicheleFrankie! What stands out to you the most about the Lightning compared to the other electric trucks that are out/coming out?

 

[MicheleFrankie]

F-150 has a good reputation. I wish the range were better, but my Model 3 has about the same and I have no problem with that, but we’ll see how it works with towing our camper.

You logged into your account on Ford's site and don't have a production date? You have the same order date as I do and my production date is 5/30

I know…I checked the Ford site and no production date is listed. When I ordered, it indicated 20-24 weeks for delivery which is the middle to late July. I wonder if I should be worried that I’ve not received a production date????

No worries, there are many folks waiting with you, if you want reassurance contact the dealer you're taking delivery from, ask if your order is all set or if they need anything from you, maybe they will have inside data about your order being in pre-view phase, which is a good indicator that it's about to be assigned a build week.

Did you go into the dealership and sign the order?

I did and called them yesterday. They said it is unscheduled but ‘clean’ which means nothing should be holding it back from being processed. Still makes me nervous that so many have build dates that reserved and ordered the same truck on the same day.

Yeah….it stinks that I don’t have a production date yet….

Putting perspective on the numbers for 2/3 orders, data from another forum.
41 of 88 orders [46.6%] placed from 2/3 to 2/16 have been assigned build weeks.

Of those, only 7 are potentially in production right now.

Wow. Interesting data. From what site did you get this information? Thanks so much for sharing. I feel better.
