✅ 1/9/2023 Lightning Build Week Group (MY2023)

[Gewalt]

My dealer just got 10 lightnings this morning and my tracker "last updated" updated today, 3/31, for the first time since 2/7.

Fingers crossed I'm picking up a Lightning today. Best of luck, everyone!

Edit: the truck is there and I'm taking delivery today!
Edit 2: now showing complete a few hours after being dropped off

Newbie here. Apparently I was part of the 1/2/23 build week group, but haven't had any luck in tracking my truck. Dealership is not giving me much info either. Anyone know how to find my truck? Order 10923002 VIN 1FTVW1EV0PWG10258
Closest I got was that it's in the far-distant country of GFX-Rotunda. TIA!

Looks like it's still in the vicinity of the Rouge based on what you/we see in United-Road search of your vin.

The Ford public tracker says it has been in transit since 1/25

Where it's at is anybody's guess at this point, the dealers have an advanced tracking utility, sounds like they don't know how to use it or Ford has not update the build record since 2/6, so they may not have more info either.

Thanks for looking! Trying hard to keep cool.

No muss no fuss, got in there and signed some papers. They were kind enough to even tell me they were writing me a check for $1600 because they'd forgotten to include Maine's EV instant credit and my deposits. Finance guy said he was totally shocked about the special offer and price protection, but it checked out.

Casco Bay Ford in Yarmouth Maine is a gem of a dealership!

I wouldn't rely on the united tracker for everyone. If I input my VIN it lists the gfx-rotunda, but I know mine is in a railyard 2 hours away from me per my dealer. I assume that united isn't used for everyone's last mile delivery to the dealership.

Good point.

Thank you! That gives me hope.

Got mine! Kearny Mesa Ford was excellent. I hope everyone else's deliveries come quickly and well before 4/17 for the tax credit

Best April fools of all time?

@EVMainer And @Gewalt just for clarity, you guys got your trucks delivered Friday. Your trucks were already shipped before the battery fire and were stuck in transit, right?

I'm just hoping that trucks like mine that were sitting on ramp 59 in Dearborn since late January will begin to ship this week. I'm not sure if my truck went back to factory to have battery inspected/replaced or not. Ford won't tell me anything.

Jumping in here… I am probably in the same boat as you. 1/2 build week with chip shortage and fire happened but no communication from Ford about if mine was affected.
Good news is that I got an email a couple days ago saying “finalize your purchase.” Not sure what that means for delivery but it’s promising that something is moving. Dealer says they hope for delivery tomorrow even though we don’t see any updates on the carrier website.
I hope you and I both get ours this week!
