This morning 4/19, it's showing 04/16/2022, I'm guessing that when this dates stops changing, the truck has reached the end of the blending assembly line, assuming there were no chip-items missing the truck, it is sitting in a staging lot waiting for OKTB and loading on a convoy-transport to your region.

Similar here. Have a 4/15/2022 date on the bottom of the window sticker now. Sure hope it's loading on a transport. Would be great to hear on 4/26 that they will be showing up at dealers ready to buy as early as tomorrow.

I’m going to say that on 4/26 it will say it’s Built, and from then on everyone else’s Blend Date will be accurate. I think as others have guessed, Ford is waiting for the livestream to either a) Deliver at the factory or b) Lightning being driven to the Railyard/shipment trucks
I agree. I think we'll see vehicles that have As-Built configurations by 4/26 will flip over to "Built" on the order status page.

I've been using a very early retail build (3/16/22, 1FT6W1EV0NWG02615) to track how things unfold. I expect it will be one of the first retail orders to ship out after 4/26. Interestingly, the date at the bottom of the sticker flipped over to 4/19/22 today, but I don't see any changes on the status page.

Your truck might be built already. They probably won't let you know that until after the launch event next week though :)

If I remember right, for my Bronco order last year, that bottom date on the sticker would change weekly for me regularly. Didn’t know why it changed weekly though. I’m sure the Lightnings will go much faster to everyone than did the Broncos. My blend was 7/23 or something like that, then delayed until it finally showed up in early October at the dealership. Couldn’t track it at all. It was super frustrating. I’m guessing and hoping they have things nailed down a heck of a lot more with these Lightnings.

You should see a list of variables below the Module/Address/Instructions bar when your vehicle is in production. I think it means that the vehicle control modules have been installed and programmed. Let us know if you see movement over the next few days!

I honestly thought that date on the bottom of the sticker was just the current day.

As of this morning, 4/19/22, the tracking status still states "In Production", no "Module Build Data" yet. Window sticker (attached) still reflects 4/14/22 blend date but the date on the bottom center changed to 4/18/22. No other changes noted.
On my Bronco, that happened the first time the day the truck was actually built. After it rolled off, when it went to the Mod shop, and when it shipped out the date always changed.

That's it. The order they should roll off the line.

If I’m looking at the right item, 144/428
I assume that the first number (144) is your unit sequence in line for that build day and (428) is the total number of units scheduled to start their build that day?
