✅ 6/6 Lightning Build Week Group

[Lightninorian]

Got to drive one today. Makes it that much harder to wait. So smooth and easy to drive for a truck. Thanks to Big Valley Ford for letting me

drive your demo.

Our local dealer has one as well, however since I have had multiple EVs though the years, I am used to the acceleration curve and the aww/wonder.

Maybe I will drive it, but that will make me want the Lightning even more…

It’s been 18 days since blend date and not much seems to have changed other than modules popping.

Yep. I'm at 21 days and radio silence. I'm assuming this has to do with that recall recently. Was hoping it would show up in time as a birthday gift to myself by late July but now I feel like we are looking at early August.

Recently I tried tracking my trucks vin, they have it but it's not been shipped by the REVC just yet.

I also subscribed for email alerts, at first I though it would only be my VIN, but it appears to be for all loads going to my dealer, this morning I got an alert of three vehicles, they dropped off a couple of Mach-E's and one F150 ICE.

They picked up these trucks from the rail yard in Ayer Mass, which was surprising, I figured it would be West Brookfield/Spencer. At least I'll know the day my truck arrives ~2 hours lag from load signature time stamp

This is the KCMO built F150-XLT 1FTFW1E80NKD91773 M121
The shop.ford.ca tracker has not acknowledged the delivery yet, might happen over night

I'm curious why your window sticker says convoy (and so did the F-150 in your screenshot that was delivered), when clearly it seems like it's coming rail. The window sticker for my Bronco last year always said rail, and it did in fact ship rail to NC. But the Lightning window sticker has said convoy all along, which I thought was odd. This does help manage my expectations though. I was hopeful the Lightning really would ship convoy and maybe get here a bit quicker than the Bronco did, but now that seems very unlikely. It seems like my Lightning will ship via rail regardless of what the window sticker says.

Never seen a RAIL on any sticker as long as I have been researching Lightnings, CONVOY might be referring to the last leg of the trip from the factory

I'm not familiar with the Build-Week, Blend-Day & In-Production lag at KCMO ..... BUT....
At REVC during Build Week 5/2 the lag was a solid 3 days (Blend-Day to IN PRODUCTION) which is similar to this trucks journey at KCMO, notice it reached BUILT status only 4 days later but was held for 50 days in total for extras, additions, chip holds and shipping vial RAIL which shows on the ICE trucks Window Sticker, then hot shot from Ayer to Seekonk which is only ~70 mile drive 495/95.

This web site has a QUIRKY layout, you need to window the browser then narrow it to about half width of your browser screen size, then all the elements wrap around to a vertical presentation more like a mobile device presentation, now you can see the link to register an email address.

With all of today’s activities on the earlier Build weeks, I just had to check Ford Chat on my 6/10 Blend….

“I appreciate your patience. I show the last reported status was on 6/21/2022, and at this time the vehicle is in the Production phase at Rouge Electric Vehicle Center in Michigan. At this time the dealer arrival dates are pending an update. ​

Michael at 13:01, Jun 29:​

Are there any other details you can share (e.g. holds, off-site/on-site). Don’t mean to be a pest​

Kemesha at 13:03, Jun 29:​

Not a problem, I show the secondary status as sent off site however, the site location lists the Rouge Electric Vehicle Center instead of the site name. This may be an error otherwise no holds at this time.“​

My mom always told me “a watched pot never boils”…. I should take her 100 yrs of wisdom more to heart

Yours went from "In Production" to "Built in 4 days? Wow that's so much faster than now.
