8/23

Got the standard email this morning, but I know these trucks should be rolling out soon. Can someone enlighten me on what modules/tear tags are and what the mean, and how I go about checking for mine? My blend date was 8/21 if that matters.

I got the same email this morning though I'm not waiting as I have already cancelled with my dealer. Blend date was 8/25.

I expected to have my window sticker by now. Build week is 8/21/2023. Should I be concerned?

I got this at 5:30 am today from ford

We understand it has been too long since you last heard from us. Just wanted to give you an update on the status of your F-150 Lightning XLT order. While production of your vehicle was projected to begin the week of August 21, 2023, supply chain challenges continue to cause delays and uncertainty.

This is frustrating, we get it. We want nothing more than to get your Ford up on the line and start assembling it. And we will continue to work hard to reduce the delays to try to get you on the road in your new vehicle soon.

We’ll be sure to keep you updated as we get more information, at least once every 45 days. Hang in there. We really do appreciate your patience and understanding.

I'm actually OK with the delay. I know it sucks for everyone that is wanting their lightning now and tired of waiting. But for me the longer the delay the closer my arrival back to the mainland and it's delivery date are closer.

So I'd be totally happy with like a 90 day delay for just my truck though I'm sure it's only a week or so delayed.

Giving you all perspective, @Jetsfan17 Lightning was scheduled for 8/24, it went down the line today, his codes are loading now, tear tag Friday!!!

That's encouraging news. Any idea how that relates to when it will ship?

I got the same email for my Lariat at 8:22 AM today.

I guess it's sort of like awaiting the white smoke from Dearborn (like the Vatican white smoke).

Just checked and it now has modules populated. Now awaiting tear tag.

Just curious; why did you decide to cancel?

I wasn't thrilled about the feature deletes or hefty price, and I was on the fence about just waiting for the T3. Then quite a few very lightly used 22's started to show up at decent price points, so I jumped on a Lariat ER and couldn't be happier with it.

Trading it for a T3 is still on the table when the time comes, but it'll have to be a very significant upgrade to make me seriously consider it.
