✅ 8/14/2023 Lightning Build Week Group (MY2023)

[Flash]

A quick update. I just got the truck yesterday and this morning I got the stop safety now message with 25% reduced power. Can't believe this happened not even 24 hrs into owning the truck...

I received a ford pass "access denied" notification on the connect app, so at least someone was in the truck. The truck still shows built.

Try contacting customer service Monday to secure the Union Pacific / CSX rail car number possibly you can start the train-spotting process to know it's progress to Oregon

I did call them, but customer service would not give me the railcar number because people were inundating rail companies with tracking requests. Seemed plausible to me and didn't press the issue.

The truck is on a railcar somewhere in Illinois as I write this. They did, however, narrow the delivery window to 10/20 through 10/26 (Ford website said 10/17 through 10/30; dealer showed 10/21 through 10/27).

Lame, rail car tracking is automated, you interact with a touch-tone / voice response unit, then the robot retrieves the status and reports it out. Maybe you can ask your sales manager to register you for a vinview reports???

Just registered! Build date was 8/14/23 (but experience delays.) Just received an email that the truck has been built but they are doing additional inspections which might delay ship date. Sorta new here…how do I get access to the sticker?

I moved your post to this thread, assuming your window sticker had a blend day of 8/14 to 8/20

Last night my ford pass activation was denied, so I was hopeful it was being moved or shipped. This morning I checked the order tracker and it is still "in production" updated on 10/4.
So after 7 weeks I have no new information. I'm wondering if my truck is getting a battery replacement or something going else is going on. Sorry to be negative but I am pretty discouraged at this stage.

My turn to be reversed to Order Confirm.
I hope that tomorrow it shifts to Shipped!

One step back and two forward?

Today I was at built and awaiting shipment. Tonight it reversed to Order Confirm. I don't know which members on which build date tread but it happened to them and the next day it went to shipped.

So the reverse to Order Confirm is a great indicator that your truck will be shipped the next day!

Not sure if I need to update anywhere else, but I'm built!

My dealer just texted me that my truck has crossed the border into California! Of course it has to traverse 2/3 of the state to get to me, as I’m in NorCal and it’s come through AZ on the train. Getting closer though! ETA now between 10/7-10/13 - a week sooner than the last ETA a few days ago. Truck shipped on 9/27.

Unusual, normal method is rail to regional hubs in California, then convoy truck from there to your dealer.

It could be that it’s switching to truck soon. It just got over the CA border…
