It was also an estimate of 20+ weeks. so anywhere from 20 weeks to infinity weeks.
I guess my expectations of delivery after the vehicle was built were too high based off my experience with the ICE equivalent during the Pandemic. Fords visibility has for the most part always been the same, the tracker is slow to update but the VR from the dealer is pretty accurate. A lot of us here haven’t had a VR updated since blend date or since it went “off site”. It probably would have helped if this was my first order with Ford, then my expectations would be pretty low.
For those of us who have ordered vehicles from ford prior, the delay in shipment from time off the line is noticeable. secondly it seems More likely than not if someone not even part of the groups took Delivery we would see something - the internet disperses info like lightning.
If this was Fords first rodeo it would be understandable, but they just went through this with the Bronco, Maverick and F-150 which arguably have had a lot more orders than the measly 15k Lightning. You would think they would have figured out logistics by now, which leads to the conclusion that something is missing whether it’s a chip, software or safety item. Not knowing why trucks aren’t being delivered is a bit frustrating.For those of us who have ordered vehicles from ford prior, the delay in shipment from time off the line is noticeable. secondly it seems More likely than not if someone not even part of the groups took Delivery we would see something - the internet disperses info like lightning.
my last order came off the line(Kansas City) the first week of December and I had it (Baltimore)before end of year.
each Of our situations are different. Some people really need a new vehicle. Others have other trucks to drive. In my case I’d like to sell my truck, as the economy slips a little that can bring demand down a bit, I put more miles on it too.
I’m told checking the tracker more frequently doesn’t make it change phases any faster. Bummer.
The link in the tracker is unreliable, sometimes it works other times no go
Not too worried about it, I see the window sticker everyday through 3rd party sites lol, I was just answering the other posters question.The link in the tracker is unreliablem sometimes it works other times no go
I find the direct query more reliable, but occasionally it fails too.

The one we are following as SHIPPED in the written narrative are like this though we are waiting for an actual ship date
That’s what I am curious about. My window sticker only has the R above Ramp and nothing else. I was reading on Reddit that one of the members truck was built on the 12th according to his dealer but the blend date in his WS is the 27th. The Blend Date on the WS is indeed the 27th but that bar up too is completely filled out as it should be. Members here in the 5/9 build group also have that bar filled appropriately. What gives?The one we are following as SHIPPED in the written narrative are like this though we are waiting for an actual ship date
Several others that DO NOT have the narrative shipped, but say built also appears as above, while some do not, Ron and I are keep daily vigil on 18 VIN's

My “ramp” on top line is R and ramp one is CA5A.
Hey Noel what am I missing with the highlighted w/s? ive had those same codes since at least blending.The one we are following as SHIPPED in the written narrative are like this though we are waiting for an actual ship date

Those come and go, I do not understand why yet, but will figure it out at some point while we watch the 18 trucks that appear to be on the verge and in one case have actually shipped and landed at a dealership!!!!
I was dumb as well. I sold my ICE truck back in September because I knew I was getting a lightning. I didn't factor in that it would actually take this long. So I've been sharing my kids Kia Forte in the meantime. That really sucks driving that car.
