That didn't have the green checkmark for me, so that's when I made the assumption that the checkmark meant 'step completed'.

And only one 9/10 build and that was in the 8/15 group. Maybe tomorrow morning will be better news for the rest of us.

I was pretty pumped that the truck moved to Build on the 9th after being on micro chip hold. Reached out to Ford today and they told me the hold is still in place.
"I show the status of your 2022 F-150 is in Awaiting Shipment. At this time your vehicle does have a scheduled ETA from Oct-01-2022 and Oct-07-2022."
"After doing more research I can see that there is a Micro Chip Hold at the Plant."
Does it make sense for move to built if parts are still missing? Is that more likely that someone forgot to remove the hold or that the system sync lags, etc? @Pioneer74 - though you might have some insights here.
In addition I got a built email from Ford:
"Great news! Your 2022 F-150 Lightning LARIAT SuperCrew has been built. Right now, we are performing some final inspections on your vehicle to get it ready for shipment. While this could add time to your wait, it ensures that we deliver a vehicle that you can depend on."
Does everyone get the same language? That part about the additional wait sounds odd to me.

If it's showing as built and Awaiting Shipment, the hold should be removed from the system when the shipper picks it up.

On another thread they said a plant hold is "plant hold is when they need to confirm the quality of a part during a certain time in the manufacturing process. " It has happened even when cars are at the receiving location. So maybe truck is built but they have to test some aspect of something they noticed in a later car at the plant based on random QC test?
A long thread on it here. I think some cars here had that but got shipped so maybe it's just an additional inspection. Just a guess. Wish Ford explained to their customer service people what these terms mean. Good communication to customer is essential. Ford should understand that people have expiring rate considerations in rapidly changing economic environment, installations to support the car, travel plans, etc etc. Of course the non-EV guys have had it much worse due to Ford priorities but clearly too much bandwidth by customers, dealers, and many others trying to figure out what Fords cryptic terminology means.

@TaxmanHog My Lightning "shipped"? I am asking you lol. I thought if there was no date listed on the "Shipped" page that it isn't real.

On Friday CSX changed the delivery date to MA from Sunday to Tuesday. I checked today and it said there wasn’t any info on the rail car. Not sure if that’s good or bad!?! Maybe because it’s Sunday? It seems that vehicles in the yard in east brookfield don’t stay long when delivered to IRA Ford, (I get updates and ability to track their deliveries on the united website) so I’m holding out hope for getting it by next weekend.
