✅ 12/05 Lightning Build Week Group (MY2023)

[EdwinT]

Just received an email from Ford with an estimated delivery date between 12/28 and 1/3. Light at the end of the tunnel just got a little brighter.
Also confirmed that the dealer received the same info. They noted that typically the vehicles arrive in Delaware by rail and then are trucked to NJ.

where in Jersey? I am in ocean county with dealer in south jersey. We may get on the same train

Too good to be true? The Ford tracker still shows "in production," but VINView shows it as "On the Road" with an ETA later this week.

dude I hope so! me, you, @umbrop, and @Maxx on the same train lets hope! lol can you get a screenshot of VINview you think?

In the past week three people have had trucks delivered but the Ford tracker hadn’t moved to shipped yet. Anything’s possible.

I assume your dealer checked VinView? Or you have access?

dude

That would be me if there is any truth to that.

I don't currently have screenshots to share, but I can tell you that my location changed from "At Location Dearborn AP ..." to "On the Road." What is not clear to me is whether that means it was just "released to the carrier," which are the words my dealer used, or whether it truly is "on the road."

I am pretty sure @Maxx and I are on the same delivery route, but it sounds like his may still be in chip hold. There are reportedly no trains involved in my delivery route, so it will be a small batch of trucks accompanying mine.

Whether @umbrop could be on the same route/truck depends on where in PA he is. If it is the Pittsburgh area, then there is definitely a chance.

Unfortunately, I suspect your truck would be on a different route from mine. My guess is that my route would be scheduled around getting an empty carrier to the Port of Baltimore.

Mine's still showing "in production" (blend 12/8). Ford says it's on chip hold, but still claims delivery ETA is Dec 28-Jan 03, 2023. Guess we'll see! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

My dealer checked VINView for me. The dealer originally showed me the status when my modules popped. I then remained blissfully ignorant of any changes for a week, because I figured it would just be a bummer. I finally asked for an update today, since you had mentioned being on chip hold.

I have to say, I have doubted my dealer's optimism this whole time. But this gives me real hope.

Even though I firmly believe hope is a terrible thing, I still want some of yours

ooh I see. Unfortunately I think the next stop is Flat Rock , MI where it waits for the carrier. I hope I am wrong though! I have been told a third party company handles it from here which may be why our alerts are all over the place

This could be a game changer if 200K limit AND Battery limits are gone.

I just love lazy public servants. And how much pull Ford has with them.

Well, there you go. My expectations are grounded again.
