✅ 4/18 Lightning Build Week Group

[Labs4Lightning]

Don't Jinx us man! That's too good to be true. ( just kidding )

The race is on @Labs4Lightning - STL and Maryland are about the same distance apart from Dearborn. Who's gonna win?

MY ETA did update today to be 1 day sooner (lol), still not marked shipped - It is now 7/19 -- 7/25

I’m waiting for some activity on fordpass. Either movement or if their is a shipping mode where it gets turned off.

I’m hoping they want these on a transport so they can invoice the dealer and record it on the books before the end of the quarter.

That seems to be the general consensus for the latest push - so they have until end of day Thursday to get these moving. Let'zz gooo.

Mine is unchanged from three weeks ago.

Bummed to hear this, I guess that's why folks in this sort of limbo are seeing projected ETA's changing, hopefully not much longer.

Well according to Order Track, I've moved from "Built" to "In Transit" status. Nothing has changed yet in Fords Tracker, or my Window Sticker.

Common End of month push!!!

My eta has changed. Email said 12th-17th.
I thought, yesterday, online tracker was same - today it says 2nd to 8th. Think 2nd isn’t realistic unless it gets on truck today.
I’m relying on Fordpass still providing accurate location from truck.
interesting if FP stays on during journey.

The system reports the location as of last time truck is shutdown, once it get's on the train you won't know it's next location until they pull it off the rail car at the transfer yard.

I figured something like that. But I do think the messages I’m getting in fordpass appear that I’m still communicating with truck.
most likely convoy all the way.?
last location was parking lot. No rails nearby - such as loading zone at rouge.

at this point it gets here when it gets here - I already did the hard stressing.
not trying to debate right or wrong, just going by my observation

I'm likely at the when it gets here it gets here stage. No new updates yet today. My dealer told me that he's still waiting on regional manager to reply back to him and we might not be able to get a railcar number at all. I'm hoping that's not the case, because that means I will have no idea when it arrives at the railyard and then he at the mercy of whenever they decide to deliver it.

I really feel for you April builds, mine was mid-May, same boat. According to @TaxmanHog tracker only 58 forum members out of approx. 190 with build dates have received their truck. This is painful @Ford Motor Company - at this rate you might actually deliver 25,000 MY23s. As someone else who is in private industry delivering a product if I was as uncommunicative as @Ford Motor Company my doors wouldn't stay open for long - and yeah, homebuilder, I get supply constraints!

Early April Build here (4/11 build week), looks like I might get my truck tomorrow. I would really enjoy getting it before the holiday weekend.

@rlbussard my truck is on the move - at least in the parking lot. I’m staged in area it could be placed on the transport truck.
below is ford pass app letting me know activity. I’ve gotten several of these in the past 1/2 hour, drivers door too.

summary - my doors have been opened and I’ve moved to other side of lot. I’ll take that little bit

 

[rlbussard]

I'm hoping that when mine arrives at the rail yard somebody will accept or deny my Ford pass request. That's about the only way that I'll know that it arrived.

Yep and that is my viewpoint, doing my best there as well. At this point we both know it's built, not waiting on parts, just logistics. No chip issues, no software issues, just shipping. (Unless their lying to us..?! Wait..! no stressing, no stressing!)

This will be my last moment update.
it moved 2 miles. I don’t appear to be on ford property but rather a trucking company parking lot - based on google maps satellite. dealer is closed on 4th. They drop deliveries all times of day. if it leaves tonight it could be in Maryland by Friday - depends on stops,

i’m hoping you are surprised soon rather than later.

I am planning a trip and have to head out through mountains in PA, WV not great charging infrastructure there unless you are a Nissan Leaf or Chevy bolt.

My truck has arrived at the dealership!

But they are saying it won't be ready until late next week because they received a bunch of new vehicles. It's also a long weekend...

I'm hoping to finalize the deal and pick it up early next week, but a few more days won't kill me.
