My VIN is just above 10xxx and no problems so far, but I also cycle it as little as possible. On delivery held my breath and checked if it worked... pretty loud [clacky] as each panel rotated in but worked fine. Went out and got the WD40 dry lube and sprayed the rails only - closed it up and...

sounds like a fun trip! depending on final dates [and my wife], I may be interested as well.

Was thinking about a BR parkway day trip starting from Ashville, NC October 22/23 weekend. seems to be a very popular time though with the leaves turning...

will find out - wasn't given the option to do it myself even though it's a 10 minute trip to the tags office. I was required to get the title form notarized and sent back so we will see how long its taking now...

For those local to Raleigh area, any recommendations on detailers/ppf/ceramic? Not sure I want to spend the money yet, but if I do would appreciate knowing who can do a good job. anyone with a R1T for a while have major cabin heat issues? seems to be a lot of discussion on clear front...

My delivery person on Tuesday mentioned there was a big end of quarter push to get as many deliveries as possible by end of September...

Well, I sold my Lightning last week and took delivery of the R1T. I have nothing negative to say about the lightning - I actually liked it quite a bit, but now that I moved to North Carolina for my specific use case the F150 is just too big [garages don't fit F150's here...]. It's too early...

Been lurking on this forum for years didn't realize we had a NC thread. I just moved to Apex in July, and got my FG/FE R1T delivered this week. A couple of comments from my delivery person - R1S' are starting to show up in Richmond, and there is about 30-50 total R1T's in NC as of this week...

I have a similar question on delivery location - I 'may' be moving soon to North Carolina... do I keep my old address [25 min from factory] or change it and hope no or improved impact [Virginia SC delivery]. Happy to fly in and drive back from factory if that keeps or improves delivery date...

Nice cooler, but man you can buy a lot of ice for $450....

Note there was a Wall Street Journal article out this morning as well [April 18] a few tidbits I had not heard of, like 83k orders 'as of early March', R2 to be built in Georgia - compact SUV in 2024, and clearly worrying about battery material supply chain...

Problem is, it's much harder to change a regulation in effect vs negotiating a draft version. Even if Rivian wanted to do this, and I doubt they would due to cost/limited resources, the regulation would have to change to allow this. Too many special interest groups would oppose.

As someone who used to be a member [technical] of one of the associations listed above, do not assume making comments equates to 'acceptance' or 'agreement'. In some cases, it means 'let's propose something technically valid, but less cost before the politician mandates something impossible to...

This makes me wonder how redundant the safety features are on these new vehicles. the more we leave mechanical controls and move to electronic controls [ie, 'fly by wire'] the more I wonder, what is a 'normal' driver supposed to do when everything goes blank? Functional Safety criteria is...

any concern about Ford mandating you cannot 'flip' or sell your new Lightning for 1 year, except back to the original dealer? Think there was quite a bit of chatter about that in the past. As of today, I have been told no ADM on my Lightning order.

Would like to have the forum's input on this.... Lightning Lariat ER order has been scheduled for production week of June 6. My R1T reservation is scheduled for delivery 4Q2022. Knowing supply chain issues may delay R1T until 2023, would you take delivery of the lightning, then trade it in...

I stuck with my order for a few reasons... Didn't want to make a decision based on emotion [again]. My original reservation number was #1196... canceled due to a sudden financial issue that went away quickly but I thought at the time guide calls were eminent. Even though no longer had...

I think this whole experience shows that just maybe the 'legacy' manufacturers might have some experience that a new start up doesn't. I don't plan on cancelling quite yet - waiting for more dust to settle, but it does confirm to me that, like all publicly traded companies, stock performance is...

Same here - glad I went ahead and ordered the lariat under wave 4. Have the EValanche RST on reservation as well. Looking like Ford is gonna be the 2022 winner, but I'll wait a few more days and see how things shake out [and how many pages this thread stretches out to...]
