No new news on my blend date 9-3-23 build yet. Still in the production status with no date below that field, no response from the Ford Pass App, etc. I have not checked the modules yet.

I'm monitoring 9/1, 9/2 & 9/3 as of early this morning none had module codes yet.

I am one of those with the 9/1 blend date with no news.

Mine was 8/31 blend date and populated as "in production" Thurs Pm/Friday am, with all modules seemingly filled also. I'll bet $1.00 that you'll have em by tomorrow morning.

Have you tracked it?

I bet he is, and I've been looking too, ( I have 8 samples for 8/28)

This concerns me that the 9/11 BW might be delayed a couple days as well if a hiccup occurred last Friday-Sunday.

Hopefully we will see some action this evening or Tuesday.

Do they work 7 days a week, or just 5? 8 hour shifts?

7 days a week, they are some sort of swing rotation schedule, @Pioneer74 can explain this as he has in the past.

@Frank in AZ your Lightnings modules are loading now, tear tag soon.

For the record, this was to be a 9/1 build we expected to be in process on 9/8, well today is 9/12, read from that what you will, four days off pace, let's get the line at predicted speed!!

Also note 9/2 builds are populating at the same time, @Jonneanderthal & @bretthicks2

I see the modules are populated. Forgive me. What exactly does that mean? And what are tear tags?

Your trucks computer modules are being programmed, the tear tag is an indication the process has finished and your truck is nearly done being built.

I know there’s a lot of variables at play but do you have good estimates on how long until it would ship once tear tag is issued?

NO, but the beauty of coming off the line would be to roll directly onto a rail car and not be stuck in a holding lot for 4 months. Of course that requires they release the general hold on "BUILT" status' and the rail cars in the staging lane are headed in your direction.

 

[TaxmanHog]

@Frank in AZ confirmation your truck was built yesterday

@Jonneanderthal

No word from ford..

 

[TaxmanHog]

No word from ford..

Your next communication will be an email after the BUILT date is populated, when that happens is anybody's guess.
