✅ 5/9 Lightning Build Week Group

[kammy]

Looks like I'll be waiting for my 5/2 build week truck with you. I too have a CA84 - Convoy and live in Northern California. Seems expensive to convoy them all the way from MI. Unless they go on a rail first, then finish via Convoy?

In any case, I think our trucks will make the journey together.

my blend date is on 5/22 (I’m in 5/16 week), and I also have CA84. I wonder if that means they will hold the produced vehicular until they have a few to send all at once.

I looked into it. Apparently CA84, and all the other abbreviations, only refer to a route, not a specific train or truck. So we might all be on the same route, but different rail cars, dates, etc.

Hey, wait for me! I’m in Northern CA and on the CA84 convoy with a 5/20 blend.

Well, I just looked at my windowsticker and noticed the ramp changed as well as the destination... So now my ramp one code is RA59 (ramp 59, like the other spray in bed liner trucks) and the destination state changed from WA to MI.Vehicle order tracking is also unavailable.

And now (1.5 hours later) it’s back to CA72 and WA. I also noticed the bump tag went to blank again from MI.

Got the ability to try to activate my truck today. Which of course I promptly tried to do and if there was anyone in the truck they could hit the prompt. Its another positive step in my trucks journey to me.

I got mine to go online today, but it would not allow me to control the truck.

Today I requested my visibility report. You can see according to the report my truck has been at the body shop (Bedliner) for a week.

There is no way Ford is keeping up to date records.

I am a 5/12 build date and as of Friday (5/20), it was also "Released to Body Company" per a dealer screenshot. Dealer and I are assuming the body company is the liner company. Looks like your truck has the spray in liner as well. No update at this point or changes since then. Probably sitting in a parking lot with the spray in bed liner just waiting to go through final check and then shipping. Or it's missing a chip or something... Hopefully we start to see 4/11 and 4/18 trucks get shipped and other 4/25 trucks get built status in the next few days and then we will have a clearer picture of timeframes.

Tracker is offline for my truck today. Hopefully this is because they are about to slap a build date on the tracker and show that it is in shipping...

 

[yed19]

Get this... Its back and no change in anything. This was a case of wishful thinking.

We’re all on here watching every thread update with new posts for any news while some random dude out there has taken delivery and is oblivious to our madness on the forum. Lol

I will post this here as I think this is the progression that we will see as the truck goes along and where you can verify it:

1. Build Week Assignment: Ford My Account
2. Build Day Assignment/Vin Number Assigned - Vin will be sent via email or can be found using web developer trick
3. Build Day
4. Modules Populate - Usually happens 1 day or so after blend date (see tracker)
5. Truck goes to liner company if liner is on order (may get temporarily assigned a ramp 59 when this happens?)
6. Certification info on sticker gets populated
   
7. Truck Build date is tacked onto Ford vehicle tracker
8. Tracker moves truck to shipping status via Ford Vehicle Tracker
9. Shipping date range gets added with Shipping Date when truck is shipped to Ford Vehicle Tracker
10. Delivery
11. Pro Chargers are delivered to home address

Did I miss any steps people (like myself) can obsess over?

Like everyone waiting.... ...but would like to know what this means. Convoy?
