✅ 7/25 Lightning Build Week Group

[Ford Senior Master]

What was your blend date? Mine was 7/28 and my ETA is Aug-19-2022-Aug-25-2022. It appears you are in Georgia. With me being in Alabama, one would think we would be on the same truck, maybe.

I'm in 7//11 build week. In Alabama with same Eta. Yes we should be in the same rail car perhaps.

My window sticker shows CONVOY, which surprises me. Does your sticker say RAIL?

All stickers say CONVOY. It will come by rail and trucked the final distance.

They all say convoy.

I can only provide information from the response to my Chat to FORD yesterday, whether it's accurate or not remains to be seen... I asked specifically for ESTIMATED TIME OF ARRIVAL AT THE DEALER:

CHAT response:

"You're welcome, William!
I see status as In Production,
Location: Ramp 51, Flat Rock, MI,
ETA Aug 10th- Aug 16th"

Is the Ford Chat accessed through the Ford Pass app?

I think I just found it thru Ford's 'contact us' on the website

From my chat with FORD this morning.
" Tom, I see that the status of your vehicle order is "Received". This means the vehicle has been received by a carrier at a ramp location. It is located at Ramp 51, Flat Rock, MI with an ETA of Aug-19-2022-Aug-25-2022. "

I chatted with them as well this morning. My build date was 14 July and she also told me it’s at Ramp 51 with an ETA to the dealership of Aug 17-23, 2022.

I got the same response today with an ETA of 08/10, which is sooner than the 08/13 date they gave me earlier this week.

I just called Ford instead of dealing with the people on the chat. The rep was informed and said that once your truck is in the BUILT status, the ETA is much more accurate. If you're still in the IN PRODUCTION status and the ETA is only a few days out, the ETA will eventually get shifted to be more accurate once the truck is BUILT. So all these dates in the next week or two are unrealistic. Don't get too excited.

It is okay to be excited about progress, regardless if the delivery date is realistic or not.

Trust me. When I reached out to them the other day and they indicated my truck would be DELIVERED August 5th-11th, I was ecstatic. Then I quickly realized how unrealistic that was. I'm thrilled my truck is almost in the BUILT phase with transit not far behind. I just know I won't see it until the end of the month (hopefully).

I also contacted Ford through the chat, here is what they told me. Great if accurate!

"It appears your vehicle was released by the Body Company as of July 29, 2022 and is estimated to arrive at your Ford dealership by August 27, 2022."

I must have contacted an unmotivated chat agent. Blend date was 7/27 and she just said that the build is in progress and that is all she could see

Ah that makes sense. It is not that someone can do something just with a vin number, but I guess having it tied to you does open some doors for problems.

Came across this and it’s timely.

“Alvarado’s claim was initially denied thanks to a Toyota field technician’s social media digging.”

Which is precisely why I ordered a Yellow F150L. Remember social media/forums. My F-150L is yellow exterior with a purple interior.
