✅ 8/22 Lightning Build Week Group

[spinnerbait]

Just joining the "group"
2/3 order date
8/22 build, 8/23 blend
175/405 (spray in bed liner)
Convoy to NH
Status on Ford dot com : In Production since 8/22 (strange with 8/23 blend)
Modules Show, Tear Tag does not

Any other info I should post?

Welcome to the group!

As far as the status goes - do you see a date under where it says in production? That should appear approx 4 days after blend atm.

It does not have a date that I can see. However I just got the following response from ford chat

Just reached out to Ford via chat. Here is what I got.

---
The vehicle is currently In Production - When an order is "In Production," it is being manufactured at one of our factories. It has started production as of yesterday (Aug-27-2022) Currently the ETA for delivery of the vehicle to your selling dealership is pending for an update.
---

The started production date is not reflected on the Ford.com website yet. So it will be interesting to see, if that's that date that will show up there. If that is the case the build to production gap would be down to 0 (my blend date was yesterday). I will post an update when I know more.

I tried the chat for the first time with this result. Same ETA as M4rked1 but I've been downgraded to a Maverick

My Atlas Blue F-150 just changed to "In Production" (or whatever that means)! So maybe I'll be able to get more info by Tues/Wed? BTW, I'm not seeing a place on the Ford chat page to start a chat session. It only shows the hours in operation. Am I missing something? *Edit: a tip that might help others - I was just refreshing my browser, and didn't get any changes. I then removed the VIN# from the URL to get it to give me a clean request form. Filled in my order# and VIN#, and presto! The info below showed up. Who knows how long it had been there.

Thanks! I found out that my ad blocker was removing the ‘Start Chat’ button.

Hi All, it has taken some time this morning to figure out the magic "853". My confusion is that my window sticker shows me at 320/405 and a blend date of 20220827. I do see that some of you are xxx/853. (Big thanks for you guys posting VIN) I do have the spray in liner, but does that put you in a totally special group?

Just that the spray in liner trucks are given new numerator/denominators and SQ1 values, but I think they all go down the line in SQ2 order.

@TaxmanHog, appreciate your wisdom and help to understand this all.

Just checked and my modules are listed. No tear tag yet.

Just got my email this morning telling me my truck is built! Funny it still hasn't even switched to "in production" on the website, but hope they're on track with delivery between the 4th and the 10th! Guess it's time to line up financing and clean my old truck to sell

I am so close I can smell the paint drying on my Lightning. Come on! I want my modules!!!!
