🛑 9/4/2023 Lightning Build Week Group (MY2023)

[TaxmanHog]

Looks like build week 9/4 is a bust, hopefully this pause doesn't last but a week and we see scheduling to the day next week for build week 9/11.

Remember to update your records with the new week you were assigned (many moved to 9/11)

I'm sorry I'm just seeing this. Yes, I've been moved up. I check every morning, still scheduled for the week of 9/11. I'm very excited.

I'm guessing someone scheduled us all for the week of 9/4 not realizing Monday is Labor Day. Once realized we all got bumped.

Nope, they had originally intended to work next week with building your trucks, BUT ran into delays ramping up to speed with a the last few weeks, so build week 8/28 is actually going into production soon and should wrap up by Sunday 9/10 at 23:59:59

Good to know. I appreciate the insight.

I'm new to absolutely all of this. I'm not sure what I was expecting, but the turnaround on this is faster than I expected which is nice.

Just curious, how did you find all of this out? I don't mean that in an accusatory way, you clearly have some source of information I haven't found yet and I'm grateful for you sharing it. I enjoy knowing how things work and if there's somewhere other than Ford's website I should check out I'm all ears.

I'm retired with plenty of time on my hands, a statistics nerd and passionate about FoMoCO and its efforts rolling out the Lightning, I'm a very satisfied owner.

I've been following Lightning production since early 2022, did an in depth analysis of the nuances of scheduling and production for all of model year 2022 and the first 3 months of model year 2023.

As of now, I am only doing small samples of data for MY23 since the factory updates and production expansion, while splitting my time reading all the new and interesting threads regarding the operations and debugging of issues that arise.

I and many others on this forum have pulled together a lot of information, we continue the sharing to educate new Ford ~conquest customers~ and bringing existing Ford customers into the BEV world

Have people stopped posting on this 9-4-23 build week? The last entry I see was 9-2-23

There was no trucks scheduled the week of 9/4, this action was to allow the factory to catch up on slow down of production 7/31 to 9/3, unfortunately they're still off schedule even now, so they have reduced target volume for the weeks of 10/2 & 10/9

When you’re 592/696 from BW 7/31 and no Shipped status it can be tiresome. @Ford Motor Company
