✅ 11/28 Lightning Build Week Group (MY2023)

[Snow White]

Got my shipped email at 2am this morning. Called dealer, they said Ford is experiencing shipping delays so can't guarantee it'll come before year end.

Which part of Cali? I'm in Sac area and mine was built 12/13. Guess I'm about a week behind yours.

Mine moved to Built with a VIN on Ford's site, although no email. So 12/16 ... no ship date yet.

Things are happening now.... Woohooo

Built
Your vehicle has been built and we are arranging shipment to your dealer. This step could take a few days to a week. Select the "Learn About Your Vehicle" link for information and videos about your new vehicle. 1

That’s first Lariat I’ve seen out of this group. What blend date / build number / etc? I’m assuming you’re in my same group. I’m 308/471, so hoping this means good things for all of us!

Checked in with Ford chat as last update (built 12/8/22) was over a week ago. Still awaiting shipment on Ramp 59 with no holds. They did say the last update in the system was 12/11/22. Will see if any movement this week. @Maxx I am ordering some F5 keys.

Got the "Shipped" email on Friday or Saturday and bumped the estimated dates to 12/25-12/29.

Now if the credit union could expedite their side of things and get me a check in the mail that'd be great....

my ford tracker now says shipped officially. No ETA next to shipment however. No email from Ford either.

I found a Lariat a few hours away. I'm going to try to find out info on it this morning.

 

[Snow White]

@Wsl346 My Order shows shipped today, 12/19/22, but no estimated delivery, no email...

 

[Ac1031]

My Lariat was shipped as of 12/15 as well! We will see what happens. I have searched the threads and can't seem to find a concrete answer...has Ford hit the manufacturer's cap for the EV tax credit? I know it's going away for 2023, but caps are still in place for 2022. Just trying to decide whether or not to take delivery in case it gets here by 12/31.

Cap is not relevant this final quarter of 2022

Yesterday, I sent my dealer an email regarding pricing to try to get ahead of that mess. I'll be super pissed if the truck arrives on the 31st but they want to play games on the price protection.

Heard from my dealer today. They said only the PCO or the price protection applies but not both. Ugh. Let the games begin!

Well, big update. No email, but Ford Chat came through. I was provided my CSX rail car number. As of an hour ago the train is in OH. It's scheduled to arrive in Nashville on 12/22 where it will be loaded on truck to the dealer.

Last time this happened over summer on my Powerboost it took 3 days from Nashville stop to make it to my dealer. I would argue there was a bigger issue with truck delivery nation wide during that time period too as I was warned by my dealer of driver shortages etc. Obviously Christmas is fast approaching and I'm trying not to get my hopes up, but wow this may be very close for delivery by the end of the year.

The Lariat I had a lead on just sold. I was a few hours too late on the inquiry.

All meant to be perhaps to take my delivery as planned and luck out before 2023 regs comes into play.

UGH that's flat out wrong. the PCO is a rebate tied to you in your account and price protection is for when you ordered and the truck has seen an "in model year" price jump. watch the below video that maybe you can send them (the link will start at the time you need to watch so make sure you send this link if you send it). Supposedly they need to talk to their Ford rep(?) to shed some light. I am currently dealing with this issue. Trying to get ahead of the 8ball incase I am delivered last few days of the year.

I have a video clip to share that maybe you can send them. supposedly they need to talk to their Ford rep(?) to shed some light. I am currently dealing with this issue.

Thanks I'll take a look. I've already emailed them back with a copy of all 3 of the dealer communications that mention the PCO and the price increase and pointed out the parts that contradict what they said. I also included a screenshot of the price I see on ford.com and a link to Tim Bartz video about this. We'll see what they say now.

Man I really wish Ford would just send out one communication to the dealer with it all lined out when somebody has a Pro order with them. Then again, the dealers would probably ignore it anyway and tell customers the same BS

 

[gymgeek]

Haha, after I posted, I realized that's the same video! It's really good stuff in there! I hope it helps.
