Proof at least one 2022 Lightning has achieved "built" status. [Update: now "shipped"]!

Another one out the door

And it's a Lariat ! The other ones we've seen have been Platinums.

(Excuse me while I google the distance between Nashville and Scottsboro, AL)

Do we expect that the in production to built times will go down or will it remain 1 to 1.5 months?

Part of the longer status these trucks faced was just Ford's standard quality control process (batch and hold), which just does more quality checks when they do their initial run of a new build. Sprinkle in some PR timing as well.

I think whether or not things change will depend on what the people who are getting their trucks built the last two weeks see.

Possible that now that Ford has a lot built, it can just start freely shipping any of them out as logistics allows (regardless of when it was actually built).

All these are Mannequins, order dates in December. I want to see @idahospud truck shipped damn it....

The fact that this one and the others you posted before it were in production weeks a part but identified as built on the same day tells me that they were either waiting for something or there was indeed some quality check or some sort of certification sign off prior to calling them built. This one was only produced 2 weeks before mine. I can only hope that we will see some non-demo models getting "built" with a estimated delivery date soon.

This would explain the high mileage one of our members Lightning… about 35 miles

Seems like there’s been a lot of movement the last few days. It’s getting exciting!

1FTVW1EL8NWG01027 is our Mannequin. It's built but who knows when it will ship.

And I firmly believe based on my previous five F-150 orders and experience with Ford's customer order progress tracker over the years that this behavior is intentional.

They know exactly what they're doing.

So don't expect them to fix something that's working just the way they want it to. If they wanted to 'fix' this they would have done that years ago.

Why the not so accurate. Tracker Mike? Trying to think of a reason?

TBH I think it's a calculated 'underpromise and overdeliver' thing.

Can't be helped really. Just frustrating.

Let me get this straight. . . . So checking my email every 30 seconds to check for “built” email from ford and checking the tracker once an hour isn’t going to make it change it’s statusa little like pressing the elevator button a few more times doesn‘t make it come quicker.


wow, that’ll free up a lot of my time.

now just back to waiting. . . . .
