Well I took my delivery on Monday 7/18. Loving this beauty of a truck but havent seen or heard of anyone else in St. Louis that has received their truck yet either. I know of at least three dealerships that got their mannequins (Roberts in Alton, Suntrup Westport, and Suntrup in Kirkwood) but no confirmation of other deliveries.

Who else in the St. Louis area has orders and when did you receive or expect to take delivery?

Additionally is their an EV club in the greater St. Louis area as I couldnt find any on a google search and I dont have Facebook, so was curios to see others trucks.

St Louis (St Charles) here… mine (Lariat ER) is sitting in the rail yard in Wentzville awaiting the final drive…sometime this week hopefully. Sunset Ford off Gravois has a Pro mannequin...not aware the Suntrups share a mannequin, I don't believe they both got one unless you know different for sure. Not sure if he's on this board but been in contact with another on another forum that has a Pro in production but no ship date yet

Yeah im in contact with a Capt. Ramius on Reddit and these forums I believe. He was at both of the Suntrups and they each have their mannequins. His truck was built last week and should hopefully be delivered by the end of August.

Im just across the river in Alton. Seen about 5 Rivian R1Ts so far but not other Lightnings yet. Hope you get your truck early next week.

My Lightning just departed Decatur IL.. hoping it hits Wentzville tonight. Then I'll be waiting for a convoy truck like everyone else I'm sure. My ETA is the 28th, not sure I can make that.. guess it depends on if I can catch a ride?

I wonder how badly the crazy rains and flooding today has delayed everything now. My train was rolling through STL right at 2AM (worst time possible). No updates since then on it's progress for Norfolk Sourthern's phone line.

Hopefully you guys are safe! It's kinda crazy out there.

Welcome @Griddlez! Hopefully the rain doesn't affect your deliver too much. How did you spec your Lightning?

Thanks for the welcome. It's a ER Lariat w/ Max Tow/Tow-Tech Package. Spray in liner and weather floor mats. Think that's all I added.

Yeah hope yours makes it to you before the weekend. Mine drove like a champ through that heavy rain this morning. AWD and the weight it felt like i was driving on normal roads despite 2-3 inch puddles and standing water. Hoping you and Mbazzoni get to enjoy them for the weekend.

Im curious how its gonna perform this winter in the wet, heavy snow.

Hopefully soon! Mine has been sitting in the rail yard in Wentz since last Friday, hopefully just waiting on a couple more to fill out on the transport truck for the literal 15 min drive! My ETA is today, doubt Ill make it

Maybe it was waiting on me to get there ; ) - I'm over on the IL side but we could certainly share the same truck. Norfolk Southern is reporting my rail car, as of 10PM last night, as "notification ground only" whatever the heck that means. So maybe I'll be unloaded soon and join you! My ETA is still tomorrow as of right now.

Where at in IL or which dealer?
Im in Alton, got my truck from Weber in Granite. Was hoping to meet the folks that get theirs from either Roberts or Jack Schmitt

 

[MBazzoni]

Arrived earlier today, just picked up!

Congrats!! Was it worth the wait??

My railcar, I kept checking it throughout the day and a bunch of codes I couldn't really understand were being given for it. I checked again this evening and now the rail car has "intermediately arrived at Wentzville".. meaning I think it is unloaded and about to be off to its next destination. Should mean my truck is unloaded and just waiting for a convoy, I am guessing!

Absolutely! So far so good! My dealer got a XLT SR mannequin also. Yours should be right around the corner! The rail yard is near my house, I drove by again this evening and can tell a notable difference of the number of cars from just last Fri until today…they are definitely moving some vehicles out

My ETA updated over night to 7/30/2022 - 8/5/2022 from 7/28. Guess I'll be chilling in Wentzville for a few. Hoping it's wrong.

Yep - showed up on the 2nd! Already took it on two camping trips lol. Loving it.

Ramius out in Eureka got his on the 24th. We need to try and find an event for all of the STL owners to meet up at. Thinking there is only 6 of us in the area atm.
