Understood, so we don’t know what caused the 7/31 delivery hold but we think it’s related to the February flames concern?

No official statement about the delay in shipping, only forum member speculation.

• QC review might have turned up issues since plant expansion.
• Recent release of software that's to improve issues related HVB performance.
• Parts issues
• Labor issues
• ????

We can only monitor the production tracker for status changes.

The answer is simple. We need a spy.

We have a few, but they might be shy about speaking up at this time, we don't want them to be affected by any inappropriate disclosures.

This has been very enLightning. My guess is they have a problem that’s not so serious, but would cost them a lot more to fix if they ship and have to do a big recall vs. doing it themselves while they have them sitting right there.

Hog, this is weird, right? A factory is cranking out 3,000 trucks a week and hasn’t shipped any of them for two months. They’re all just sitting somewhere in all their shiny newness and nobody knows why or when it will end and over 1$B worth (20,000 x $60K) of product taking up 5M square feet (20,000 x 250 SF) of storage space will just sit and grow indefinitely. Rough numbers, obviously. I’ll save my outrage for more important BWS’s (broken world situations), but something’s gotta give here. Not one local news story or guy ranting on his YouTube channel about it. Is this real life?

The enthusiasm and anticipation of MY22 we had of Lightnings rolling onto rail cars has been lost it seems.

I reserved a Silverado EV 8/22, admittedly late to the party (that never happened) and jumped ship after a year of their disinformation campaign. I’d expect Ford to at least put out a good, respectable lie…

Just to make my understanding is right ; my truck is schedules for production on the 26 of this month ; Even if the worker strike doesn't affect the Rouge factory ; even if they produce my truck ; I won't get it for a couple of month due to shipping ?

It's said on my windows sticker: ship by Convoy ; It's by train right ?

Am from Canada ; Anyone having trouble accessing the tracker page on Ford tracking website ? It was working but it's now saying ''We are unable to process this Order. Please try again later.''

First, you might only be able to pull your tracking data from the Canadian version Ford-Canada

Yes, it's going to take time to deliver the finished product to your dealership, how many miles are you from: 3001 Miller Rd, Dearborn, MI 48120

I was indeed on the canadien website and it's still doesn't work ; I did make it work the day my Windows stick came out

My dealer is in Quebec City , Canada ; around is 720 miles from the factory ... Are we talking weeks or months ?

Share your VIN in a DM and I'll try it out.

Your truck will roll out of the Rouge on a rail car, heading to a regional Canadian rail terminal, then hitch a ride via convoy truck, weeks & months, it's anybody's guess at this point.

Well clearing the cache did the trick ; It still show in production ... I still have hope ... my dealer told me 3-4 weeks of shipping after the date of production ( it's show it's going to be build on the 26 of september on the dealers side )

The plant is still lagging by ~4 days so adjust to the 9/30 or 10/1 to see your modules codes, then a day later to see the actual "In Production" date.
