OK - but where did you get that there would be scheduling this week?
Right after he spoke about the trucks NOT being scheduled this week

Fixed time mark at 14 minutes

Thanks!

I kept going later and didn't think to check earlier.

Seems like it will be pretty limited, just scheduling for the week of August 22nd. Since we have some there already, it won't be that many.

I have noticed the lightnings are the exceptions to the rules. Each of the previous scheduling batches have been for multiple weeks/months. I would expect the next one to be the same. I think that specific week was more so toward the ICE F-150.

Agreed, that's what I also meant about elusive information, Lightning production details are not following the norm's of ICE models.

It’s that time again. Buckle up and good luck to everyone waiting still

Yes, the weird built email I received on the 4th of July weekend where I thought the plant was not running due to shutdown for a couple of weeks....

Was it a ghost that sent out the email ??

I think some folks were working, we seen a LOT of progress today on the 5/23, 5/30, 6/6 & 6/13 build weeks Also seen a LOT more DEMO's ship out with the rest of the special orders on 7/6!

I hope the shipping trend continues in a positive direction, they clear the decks as much as possible so that Just In Time production runs smoothly for 7/11 and later weeks, with the remaining stragglers (me included ..... still missing features and components) get moving along ASAP

Do you mean Model Year 2023 Wave-1 ?

If so, it would be early Thursday afternoons every other week, but I am not certain they are ready to do that just yet. Maybe Thursday the 21st, but I don't have any official information, just my speculation based on what was mentioned in the clean up strategy memos a few months ago.

I'm sorry I was unclear..I meant those of us that have an order submitted but have not been scheduled for production yet.
(I am a wave 7 order..ordered in June)

I thought that Ford usually did the build(production) scheduling on Thursdays. I think the guy in KS said in his video they were scheduling f150s for the production week of 8/22/22.

Yes - Thursday afternoons. In the past we have seen everything from 1pm to 3pm.

I just saw a white Lariat or Platinum driving around the Buffalo, NY suburbs. This filled me with a moment of hope on this Disappointment Thursday, as it was my first Lightning spotted in the wild.
