✅ 4/18 Lightning Build Week Group

[Stlww18]

For some reason I am having a hard time finding the 4/11 build week group, but here's another Vin to track @TaxmanHog. 1FTVW1EL0NWG00339

Going to Jim Trenary Ford in Moscow Mills, MO (St. Louis area). I called, it's their mannequin and they don't have it yet because of a "transportation hold/delay"

The 4/11 group doesn't exist because it's 1 or 2 people in it.

It appears that we are really the first build week, huh?
i think they put ours on trains and trucks and forgot to scan them…

oh that was a dream, just like I thought we’d have them by now.

the thing that sucks - is actually getting further back i the line to request our charge station pros.

Congrats folks, Based on my reading of this thread several of you are receiving notifications of delivery dates, the date input is the earliest in the range, optimistic!! Weeks 4/11 & 4/18 combined!

Is it not a little odd, that few in our group are shipping? Woke up and have seen (as well as you) several more from 5/2, 5/9 being shipped.
the way we are seeing all this unfold I don’t think we will be getting a surprise call from dealer that it is sitting on their lot before the shipping email rolls out. And now the holiday weekend. Oh well.

A dispatch from Dearborn today indicates that they're still moving trucks this weekend. Hope is not lost!

I’m gonna log off for the weekend. Really disappointing to see trucks From build weeks 5/9& 5/16 having delivery dates. Though happy for them, I’m not that selfish.

I speculate that there might have been a few program changes they applied to trucks in production from that point forward, so they are ready to go, while the back stock are being updated OTA as they form out bound transits going to common destinations, in time it will happen.

I looked at percentages for build weeks with ship dates on our small subset and it wasn’t too far off for early builds 14% to 21% or so 4/18 to 5/9 respectively

That makes the most sense and explains the shipping delays on earlier build weeks. I'm not sure why software updates can't just be done at the dealer after delivery, though.

My Fordpass Connect just activated

34 miles on it.

That's the exact same location they drove my truck to when mine was activated for a evening. They did a master reset the following morning which kicked me out --- I am pretty sure they are taking our 4/18-week trucks there to get software patches. Mine threw a high voltage alert while there.. which is exactly what my Mach-E does (sometimes) when the dealer does patches to it. That or I am screwed, either way I bet they are doing software patches there.

Hopefully this is the last thing before it ships out.

That's my guess.. at least we've identified a pattern between us. Something is happening.
