✅ 4/25 Lightning Build Week Group

[Griddlez]

After sitting at Ramp 59 since May 5, I finally got an email that my truck was finally officially marked as built this morning at 2:51am. Estimated delivery 6/18-6/24. My blend date was 04/27. I had been expecting some movement soon as I had pushed a Fordpass activation request to the truck a few weeks ago, and it was finally denied a few days ago, which told me that it did in fact exist and was just sitting there waiting on somebody to do something.

That's great news.. hope it shows up early! Good to see some of the early builds slowly getting put back into the shipment cycle.

I think I pressed that button one too many times myself. It got denied a few weeks back (it's been so long I am losing track of exactly when) and shortly after that I am now getting the error about waiting until the truck gets delivered to try again. It's an instant thing when I press the button so it must be a predetermined response now that I have been rejected a few times.

Yes, our dealer demo unit (03/30 blend date) was finally put on a rail car a couple of weeks ago and initially said June 9-June 14th estimated date, then about a week ago it got to Blue Island, IL and said "Plant hold" and the date pushed back to June 29-July 5. It's still sitting there, but instead of Plant hold (which it only said for a day or two) it says:

Received at Junction Point (Burlington Northern & Santa Fe Railway Co )

Strange to me that my truck may leapfrog it somehow. It's sitting there along with a stock order Raptor unit we have that was ordered in October, built in early January and sat waiting on a chip until about the same time this Lightning finally moved.

Someone declined my FordPass activation request this morning. It had been listed as 'built' since 6/4. Hopefully means it's being loaded up or even unloaded!

Hmm, almost like they said hold it until they could patch or change something that was discovered after it started moving a while back.

My dealer has a demo unit stuck "in-production" just like mine. I'm a 4/22 blend while the demo is a 4/08 blend. I get the feeling they'll both move at the same time but we'll see I guess. Keeping an eye on both daily.

Hoping yours moves on south with no problem; I think it will.

No such luck Got an email a few minutes ago... "blah blah blah Your vehicle’s previous estimated delivery range of June 18, 2022, and June 24, 2022, has been updated to between July 9, 2022, and July 15, 2022. " *sigh*

I seen your truck update to BUILT this morning in our Auto Trader study.
I was anticipating seeing the projected delivery date in the next 48 hours.

When I woke up this morning, I saw that I got another email from Ford at 3:51am. It said that my truck has shipped. Got on vehicle visibility this morning and it shows to be in transit on a rail car as of 9:40 eastern time. I'm hoping it's going to beat that 3 weeks delayed estimate they disappointed me with on Tuesday. Our demo unit is at the rail yard ready to be dispatched and loaded on a transport truck as of yesterday evening, but its estimate in vehicle visibility is still showing Jun 29-Jul 5.

The truck shows in the Canada tracker with the Est Del of 7/9

Still haven't gotten a shipping notice 7 days after my built notification. The tempo of deliveries seems to be slowing down based on @TaxmanHog's tracker.

Maybe because the first deliveries were more local via convoy and now everything's going out via rail?

It's funny , every morning I call you UP to get an update on my truck. The recording says arrived or departed with a time but never a location. I have to call the chat line to find out what city it is in. The last time I called them, several days ago, it was just outside of Chicago at a place called Blue Island.

I color some user names, for several reasons, ONE, you don't have a record on this forums official order list, so it's crucial that I read and watch for your written status changes, also some folks are not members of this forum, but asked me to track them, the color reminds me to check for their status changes when I am reading other forums.

Can I do some thing to help out? Fill out a tracker? Go get a beer..?

Here is where to officially list your build information, put the relevant information up to the point of your current status take note they do not have a blend date field, so just list it in the Est Build date field, I'll figure out the rest.

Then after your record is created, (it takes the forum ADMIN a few days to work the newbie requests, you can send them a change request when the need arises, again the posting of CR's take a few days, that's why I monitor conversations for quicker status update in my version.
