✅ 5/16 Lightning Build Week Group

[Dolomasi]

I just want to thank all those who have posted and shared their experiences and their shipping/delivery/status updates… it has been sooo helpful to me in containing my anxiety. Also just fun reading all the funny replies. Thank you!!!
5/16 blend date and got my Lariat last Thursday @Jack Madden Ford in Norwood, Mass. Dealer scrapped the $2500 mark up and sold it for MSRP. Loving it so far. The burst of speed is something to experience! Will stop right here and just wish everyone a speedy delivery!!! Bless….

How long from shipping notice to delivery? I'm in Maine and can't imagine a convoy from Michigan takes more than a few days.

How long from shipping notice to delivery? I'm in Maine and can't imagine a convoy from Michigan takes more than a few days.

I never got an email from Ford with a shipping notice. I only found out by logging into the Ford site and noticed that the status had changed to “shipping“. But it was about 10 days from the time I saw the update and when the dealer called me to let me know that the car had arrived. Hope you get yours real soon!!

 

[Dolomasi]

That's a lot longer than I would have expected for a truck convoy from Michigan to Massachusetts, but a good reference. I'll probably call my dealer tomorrow if I don't hear anything soon. I got my ship notice a couple of days ago.

Email came through this morning and Ford chat confirms that mine was "Shipped." Texted my salesman and he said "Currently In Storage."

At this point is a crazy game of "it may come tomorrow, it may come end of month!"

Congrat's!!!
What was your IN PRODUCTION date?

Ugh…tracker originally stated estimated delivery this week. Now changed this morning to next week. Frustrating because my truck is located only 2 hours away in Montreal right now.

My tracker updated this morning to show June 14-20 (was 11-18). I know it will get here eventually....

 

[TaxmanHog]

One more thing is that the tracker only shows built not shipped.

I have seen a lot of that with very close by deliveries, the dealer or transporter logs it in as delivered sooner than the shipping clerks can log the out-bound shipping departure date. Ford needs more data-transcriptionists and clerks or a better and faster data processing system to POST systemic data captures form tag scanning, knowing how giant bureaucracies work, it will be forever before they improve on the system

Logged in this morning and my delivery date was extended to 6/26-7/2 (previously 6/11-6/17).

What was your IN PRODUCTION date?
When did you become aware it was shipped?

It's my understanding the vehicles bound for central & northern New England states come by rail and off load at Spencer Mass, then Convoy from there to our dealers.

I think we're going to break Ford Chat with all our requests asking WTF our vehicles are. Currently I am "number 39 waiting in the queue". That's by far the highest I've seen.

 

[saturnschildren]

Just got the call from the dealership - my truck has arrived! I won't be able to pick it up until early next week though, but I'll head over to look at it this afternoon.

Have to be honest here. My enthusiasm is dampening. Took a month after blend before @FordMotorCompany, at my prodding, admitted the truck was on chip hold. Can't imagine how folks in April are feeling right now as trucks produced much later than them are being delivered. For all I know my May produced truck may show up in August. Financing has been arranged but terms will obviously be more detrimental to me now than when I reasonably should have expected delivery. Very different emotions now - can't imagine how long I have needed this truck and over the moon happy when it arrived - now hours & days pass and can't help but feel like just one of 53,000 incomplete F150s sitting in parking lots around Dearborn hoping an employee shows up and selects me.

Probably said by many before, it’s less the waiting and more the lack of communication. I’m in too far to back out now but this definitely shades my opinion of Ford. But I don’t think they care.

I agree. Frankly they could deliver my car way earlier than expected, but if they don't communicate it I'm going going to be irritated. This is a major purchase and people need to be able plan around it. They might be selling a car, financing, selling stock etc. and can't just wait from a surprise call from the dealer saying the truck has arrived.

 

[2000Firehawk]

This is exactly right, especially in a rising rates environment. I unloaded one of our RAV4 Prime's a bit ago because the price was too good to turn down and we have other vehicles. At that point, even being pessimistic about timing between expected build date and assumed delivery, you could still semi-plan for things. It is just a crazy world now with lots of unknowns and I think everyone would be better served with open communication (or realistic trackers with real scan points) rather than overpromising.

In production date of 5/21
Built date of 6/2
No ship date , so just the change in estimated shipping dates
