I wonder if Ford is seeing limits on their Battery supply. I can't think of anything else that would cause the drop off the last few weeks. Maybe motors or control electronics?
This might explain the continued push out of orders to later build weeks, and to MY23. I was happy to luckily get to order, and tried to be patient waiting months (less than others) for a build week, and stoked to finally see it. Then, just as I expected to get a window sticker, I got moved to 9/12 build week. Psych!

Feeling a little perturbed because I really want the scales, and am assuming the later I get pushed, the more likely I am to have them deleted. Now I am concerned about getting pushed to MY23, as I have a. Installed 2 EVSE at two homes, prepped for the FCSP, installing a Manual Transfer Switch and b. have a bunch of accessories sitting in my barn, waiting more patiently than I am...

595 total production for the week starting 9/5.

Looks like building 15,000 2022 Lightnings could be a stretch given the reduced production numbers on 9/5 and 8/29.

Labor day? Not full scheduling?

@TaxmanHog I know it's not you but absolutely bullshit from @Ford Motor Company. To have people from waves 1 and 2 not receive MY22 trucks but those that ordered in wave 7 in June to already have their trucks is absolutely unacceptable.
Tim Bartz made a comment on his weekly video - they had a customer not scheduled and when he went in to look at it they had not deleted a constrained option (scales/tow hitch?). Apparently dealer needs to do that. He deleted it for his customer and was scheduled the next go round I believe. You may already know this but just wanted to pass that along - make sure your order is clean. If it were me I would be in the operations manager office requesting to look at my order in the dealer system. Trust but verify.

Yeah, but the last few weeks have been light too. Labor day week is actually an increase.
I don't know their schedule so it's all a guess, but I assume they have a slower weekend and labor day itself, and possibly a day after for PTO? The weeks before the holiday weekend were in the 800's. With lots of room left to be scheduled for future weeks, I wonder if this it.

Good news Tuesday, lots of movement in a variety of build weeks, from deliveries, shipped, built and in production, and to top it off it seems like the SHOP trackers at .CA and .COM are running pretty reliably.

Hoping to hear from more folks with manual reports where I don't have a VIN, check your orders MY2022 folks !!

Do you have a VIN yet?
@williams does have a VIN shared with the group, and to this date has not been scheduled, we hold hope that he and a couple others get their window stickers soon, maybe the 10/3 or 10/10 build weeks to close out MY2022!!
